heroku-buildpack-google-chrome
is deprecatedThis buildpack is deprecated and is no longer being maintained. Use (https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-chrome-for-testing.
This buildpack downloads and installs (headless) Google Chrome from your choice of release channels.
[!IMPORTANT] When used with Chromedriver, the Chromedriver version (installed by a different buildpack) falls out of sync with Chrome causing build failures.
Instead, please use Chrome for Testing buildpack, which installs matching Chrome + Chromedriver versions.
You can choose your release channel by specifying GOOGLE_CHROME_CHANNEL
as
a config var for your app, in your app.json (for Heroku CI and Review Apps),
or in your pipeline settings (for Heroku CI).
Valid values are stable
, beta
, and unstable
. If unspecified, the stable
channel will be used.
This buildpack installs shims that always add --headless
, --disable-gpu
,
--no-sandbox
, and --remote-debugging-port=9222
to any google-chrome
command as you'll have trouble running Chrome on a Heroku dyno otherwise.
You'll have two of these shims on your path: google-chrome
and
google-chrome-$GOOGLE_CHROME_CHANNEL
. They both point to the binary of
the selected channel.
[!CAUTION] To use Selenium, do not install this buildpack.
Instead, please use Chrome for Testing buildpack, which installs matching Chrome + Chromedriver versions.
Make sure you publish this buildpack in the buildpack registry
