[jfgreco]

Description

Trying to download and run a browser is resulting in an exception being thrown.

Code being called

using var browserFetcher = new BrowserFetcher(new BrowserFetcherOptions 
            { 
                Platform = Platform.MacOSArm64,
            });
            var revision =await browserFetcher.DownloadAsync("123.0.6312.86");
            await using var browser = await Puppeteer.LaunchAsync(new LaunchOptions
            {
                ExecutablePath = revision.GetExecutablePath(),
                Headless = true
            });

Expected behavior:

Launch browser and connect to page

Actual behavior:

PuppeteerSharp.ProcessException: Failed to launch browser!

What’s the inner exception?

[jfgreco]

It is null:

It seems it’s unabled to launch the process.
Could you try running what’s in the executable path manually?
Another chance is that the download is corrupted. Would could try deleting the directory and force the download again.

[jfgreco]

It doesn't seem to be downloading correctly. I tried to override the path as well to save it somewhere else. I additionally tried to installed Chromium via brew and use that in place of downloading. It will only error no matter what I do. This code was working just the other day, that is what is puzzling.

Have absolutely same error, running it from Azure App service (linux). Seeing that download executed correctly, but failed to run downloaded chrome itself.
