The problem is I haven't found any Puppeteer configuration I can use for such purpose. Force my users to download Chromium at runtime (at first usage for example).Download Chromium selectively at packaging time (still on dev machine).Download all-platform Chromium when npm install (on dev machine).

I should be able to do one of the following: Being current platform Linux, this very version of Chromium is then shipped regardlessly on every platform's app. The problem is: Chromium is downloaded at npm install time, and it's done selectively based on the current platform. The following is code for getting a handle to the background page of an extension whose source is located in. caution Extensions in Chrome/Chromium currently only work in non-headless mode and experimental Chrome headless mode. It works nice-and-smooth except for this issue:Ĭhromium is not downloaded exception is thrown when the app is executed on a platform different than the one the app has been packaged on.īetter said, I'm developing on a Linux environment and I'm packaging my app for both Linux and Windows, Linux app works fine, Windows app doesn't. Version: 20.2.0 Chrome Extensions Puppeteer can be used for testing Chrome Extensions. I'm building a UI-automator with Puppeteer and I'm shipping it as a Electron-packaged app.
