Description
I have been using node-html-to-image for two years and it worked well. Recently I updated all dependencies including this package to v4.0.0 and it doesn't work any more.
Call nodeHtmlToImage() it just thrown an error:
ERROR 1016 nodejs.Error: Unable to launch browser, error message: Could not find Chrome (ver. 119.0.6045.105). 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: /root/.cache/puppeteer).
For (2), check out our guide on configuring puppeteer at https://pptr.dev/guides/configuration.

I googled every error message, read many pages in GIthub and Stack Overflow and tried different version of nodejs and Chrome but got nothing.
Eventually I modified package.json with node-html-to-image ^3, got ERROR 54 nodejs.Error: Unable to launch browser, error message: Could not find expected browser (chrome) locally. Runnpm install to download the correct Chromium revision.
Then I run node node_modules/puppeteer/install.js and enerything is GOOD now.
I have no idea what happened.
------ BACKGROUND ------
I use a Docker container to run my app. The base image is node:20-bullseye-slim and installed Chrome manually. My Dockerfile:
