Use puppeteer-ruby instead of puppeteer

[elondres-mim]

Hi! Excellent project!

I'm hesitating on using grover for one of my websites because I currently don't have nodejs installed on my server and it seems like a headache to bring in yet another language ecosystem to update and whatnot. Has any thought been put into using the puppeteer-ruby gem (https://github.com/YusukeIwaki/puppeteer-ruby) instead of the puppeteer NPM package? I think this would simplify deployment quite a bit, but I'm not sure how much effort it would be.

Thanks!

Thanks, although switching the "driver" really isn't on the cards. You are welcome to fork the grover gem and switch it yourself of course.

Note, I have spiked this concept before but the following were real blockers:

• The node puppeteer library is backed by Google.. support will generally be very good. Other libraries.. maybe
• The node puppeteer library outperformed Ruby based DevTools Protocol wrappers quite noticeably

Grover is itself a pretty thin wrapper around puppeteer so a re-write of the parts needed likely wouldn't be all that complicated.
