Failed to download Chromium r555668

[tyler36]

I went to upgrade BackstopJS from 3.1.21 to 3.2.16 but am getting errors.

ERROR: Failed to download Chromium r555668! Set "PUPPETEER_SKIP_CHROMIUM_DOWNLOAD" env variable to skip download.
{ Error: self signed certificate in certificate chain

At this point, it seems to be an issue with NPM & Yarn although I could be wrong. It's preventing me from using puppeteer so I thought I'd see if there is a current solution.

I've tried multiple versions of NPM (5.7.1, 5.8.0), and Yarn (1.5.1, 1.6.0) but without success.

I've tried turning off SSL with

yarn config set strict-ssl false

... but that didn't work.

Is there a page that will let me manually download it? And if so, which files are needed and where?

OS: Win10 x64 NPM: 5.7.1, 5.8.0 YARN: 1.5.1, 1.6.0

[tyler36]

OK ... seems binaries can be manually downloaded here

https://storage.googleapis.com/chromium-browser-snapshots/Win_x64/%VERSION%/chrome-win32.zip

where %VERSION% => 555668

[tyler36]

Managed to get it upgrade with a workaround script

cross-env NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0 yarn upgrade backstopjs

Not really a solution but ...

Is this an issue for all windows users?

I am running into this issue too (on windows).. @tyler36 , I downloaded the file you linked and copied into node_modules folder but I'm still running into same error. was there something else you had to do?

[tyler36]

@aliu145, no. I wasn't sure what to do it with. I went with temporarily adding a new script command in my package.json

    "scripts": {
...
        "bypass": "cross-env NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0 yarn upgrade backstopjs",
...
}

Running this command ( yarn bypass), allowed me to install it. Then I removed the command since NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0 basically turns off protection.

• Note, I have cross-env installed globally, so you will need to install it if you don't have it already.

Is this an issue with puppeteer’s install or with backstop?

[aliu145]

Hmm I am able to directly install puppeteer into a different directory:

So perhaps it's an issue with backstop?

[garris]

Ok let me try.

[garris]

Ok. I just successfully ran the backstopjs sanity test from scratch on windows 10...

From the docs...

It installed backstop on the desktop and ran in win10 without issues...

QUESTION: Are you guys on node version 8 or above?

[tyler36]

node -v
v9.11.1

[garris]

Did you try running the backstop sanity test script from the troubleshooting section of the docs?

[tyler36]

Just ran sanity check in PowerShell (5.1.17134.48)

...
Writing location.js file
Done. Phantomjs binary available at I:\temp\backstopSanityTest\node_modules\phantomjs-prebuilt\lib\phantom\bin\phantomjs.exe

[tyler36]

In my case, I am unable install puppeteer via npm. So for me, it seems to be a puppeteer issue and NOT a backstopjs issue.

λ  **npm install puppeteer**

> puppeteer@1.4.0 install I:\temp\pup\node_modules\puppeteer
> node install.js

@tyler36 Ok -- got it -- thank you for following up!

FWIW: this looks like an unusual condition...

Error: self signed certificate in certificate chain

[tyler36]

@garris, no problems :)

Thanks for the great software!

[cesar-bedoya]

Close your antivirus

[tyler36]

@cesar-bedoya Thanks. With Kaspersky protection running, it fails. Disabled the software and it worked.

I still think disabling security is not a solution but since the problem is with an external package ( Puppeteer) and the installed security suite, I suspect there's nothing @garris can do.

Thank you both for your time and help!
