BUILD ERROR: Could not find Chromium

[mattpen]

This problem caused 13 failures last night:

Build failure: Error: Build aborted, Error: Could not find Chromium (rev. 1056772). This can occur if either
 1. you did not perform an installation before running the script (e.g. `npm install`) or
 2. your cache path is incorrectly configured (which is: /home/phet-admin/.cache/puppeteer).
For (2), check out our guide on configuring puppeteer at https://pptr.dev/guides/configuration..

Looks like this also affected faradays-law, but the build-server did not send an email.

@jonathanolson @zepumph - any ideas what went wrong here?

[mattpen]

I did a git pull, npm prune, and npm update in perennial on phet-server2 and then restarted the build-server. I attempted to rebuild balloons-and-static-electricity, but encountered an error on my development machine:

[~/phet/git/perennial]$ grunt production --branch=1.5 --repo=balloons-and-static-electricity --brands=phet

...

It looks like the things that failed are:

1. screenshots did not get regenerated
2. database did not get notified, so metadata including the version number is stale
3. The sim-name.xml file did not get created, so screen name and title metadata could be stale on the website

@jonathanolson @mattpen and I determined that this would be solved if we apply the changes from https://github.com/phetsims/chipper/issues/114 over to every release branch. We will report back!

[zepumph]

Looks like it is working well. Closing
