Mermaid filter test is broken for macOS Sonoma, Ubuntu Noble in GitHub Actions

[psibre]

Although it did work in the past, it turns out that the Mermaid filter test no longer runs on macOS in GitHub Actions. The issue has to do with Puppeteer failing to launch Chrome correctly:

    node:child_process:965
        throw err;
        ^

    Error: Command failed: "/opt/homebrew/lib/node_modules/mermaid-filter/node_modules/.bin/mmdc"    -w 800 -s 1 -f -i "/var/folders/lr/439_fwvd3m76p9vy50d57kcc0000gn/T/tmp-5442k0Zm4Vj8JkSX.tmp" -t default -b white -o "/var/folders/lr/439_fwvd3m76p9vy50d57kcc0000gn/T/tmp-5442k0Zm4Vj8JkSX.tmp.svg"

    Node.js v20.13.1
    Error running filter mermaid-filter:
    Filter returned error status 1

[psibre]

The last successful run was actually 2 months ago, when macos-latest meant macOS 12.7.4...

[psibre]

Indeed, this seems to be a combination of incompatibility of mermaid-filter (or rather, its dependency on Puppeteer) with macOS 14 in GitHub Actions, and the recent upgrade of macos-latest to point to macOS 14 (Sonoma) (see https://github.blog/changelog/2024-05-20-actions-upcoming-changes-to-github-hosted-macos-runners/)

[psibre]

Workaround: Run the macOS test on Ventura. Done in 91c53db6cb07bc36a419c1b91e37dde7cd80878b.

A similar error occurs when running the test on Ubuntu Noble:

    node:child_process:965
        throw err;
        ^
