Running Puppeteer within Miniflare (local Cloudflare worker simulator)


Is it possible to use @cloudflare/puppeteer for local development of Cloudflare workers?

What I tried so far

index.js (same as official example):

import puppeteer from "@cloudflare/puppeteer";

export default {
    async fetch(request, env, ctx) {
        const browser = await puppeteer.launch(env.MYBROWSER);
        const page = await browser.newPage();
        await page.goto("https://example.com");
        const metrics = await page.metrics();
        await browser.close();
        return Response.json(metrics);  
    },
};

wrangler.toml:

#:schema node_modules/wrangler/config-schema.json
name = "my-first-worker"
main = "src/index.js"
compatibility_date = "2024-04-05"
compatibility_flags = ["nodejs_compat"]

browser = { binding = "MYBROWSER" }

Running this with wrangler dev and then calling the worker throws the following error:

Solution

  • Their docs say that Browser Rendering is not supported in Local Mode and, hence, --remote option is required enter image description here
