Puppeteer/BrowserShot: file not found but it exists

Question

I'm trying to use Puppeteer and BrowserShot on an Ubuntu machine to make and screenshot of a static HTML.

The thing is that every time I try to make and screenshot:

Screenshot::loadView('monthly_resume.resume')
            ->waitUntilNetworkIdle(true)
            ->windowSize(1200, 630)
            ->noSandbox()
            ->storeAs($this->pathFor($user), 'image.php');

It returns an error. It seems that the HTML it's stored properly under a folder inside /tmp, in this case tmp/441150534-0230735001662479158/index.html.

But when node tries to find it says that the file it's not found even when it's there. Any idea why node can't find it?

Symfony\Component\Process\Exception\ProcessFailedException

The command "PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin:/opt/homebrew/bin NODE_PATH=`npm root -g` node '/home/forge/monse.app/vendor/spatie/browsershot/src/../bin/browser.js' '{"url":"file:\/\/\/tmp\/441150534-0230735001662479158\/index.html","action":"screenshot","options":{"type":"png","path":"\/tmp\/1562301876-0230606001662479158\/BrowsershotOutput1662479158hbgfB.png","args":["--no-sandbox"],"viewport":{"width":1200,"height":630},"displayHeaderFooter":false,"waitUntil":"networkidle0"}}'" failed.

Exit Code: 1(General error)

Working directory: /home/forge/monse.app

Output:

I don't understand what's going on here. Can you share a [mcve], directory structure and steps to reproduce this? Thanks. — ggorlen, Sep 06 '22 at 19:14
I updated the question, but the problems seems to be that npm/node can't find a file under /tmp even when it's there — Victor, Sep 07 '22 at 06:15

I encountered exact error message that you got. But then I just change temp path and its working fine. I'm using spatie/browsershot by the way

To change temp path at spatie/browsershot:

Browsershot::html('some html string')
   ->setCustomTempPath('/home/your/other/path')
   ->save('filename.jpg')
