when I try to access my API uploaded on vercel server, I'm getting this error.
Did anyone have the same error?
When I run it locally, it works fine.

I had the same issue where puppeteer was running okay on my local environment but when i deployed to AWS EC2 i face up the same error shared loading libraries Solution
The most common cause is a bug in Node.js v14.0.0 which broke extract-zip, the module Puppeteer uses to extract browser downloads into the right place. The bug was fixed in Node.js v14.1.0, so please make sure you're running that version or higher. Alternatively, if you cannot upgrade, you could downgrade to Node.js v12, but we recommend upgrading when possible.
For those who might have experience this issue while running on windows enviroment, You can try to pass ignoreDefaultArgs: ['--disable-extensions'] option when launching it chromium from code i.e
const browser = await puppeteer.launch({ignoreDefaultArgs: ['--disable-extensions']})
This will deactivate default behaviour of puppeteer from disabling any extensions usually used by chromium/chrome.

The issues that results in this error
UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error: Failed to launch the browser process! error while loading shared libraries: libnss3.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory TROUBLESHOOTING
is mostly but not all the times caused by missing dependencies that are required in the latest version. The good thing is you can easily check the missing chrome dependencies causing the crash.
- cd /project_folder/node_modules/puppeteer/.local-chromium/linux-some number/chrome-linux
replace the linux-some number with whatever ls will output- ls at /.local-chromium to check name of your directory
At the last directory [ chrome-linux ] run below command to check the missing dependencies
ldd chrome | grep not
if you see any missing dependencies, run this command to install everything and restart your application.
sudo apt-get install ca-certificates fonts-liberation libappindicator3-1 libasound2 libatk-bridge2.0-0 libatk1.0-0 libc6 libcairo2 libcups2 libdbus-1-3 libexpat1 libfontconfig1 libgbm1 libgcc1 libglib2.0-0 libgtk-3-0 libnspr4 libnss3 libpango-1.0-0 libpangocairo-1.0-0 libstdc++6 libx11-6 libx11-xcb1 libxcb1 libxcomposite1 libxcursor1 libxdamage1 libxext6 libxfixes3 libxi6 libxrandr2 libxrender1 libxss1 libxtst6 lsb-release wget xdg-utils
Voila!! everything should be fixed
Try adding jontewks/puppeteer-heroku-buildpack buildpack. Adding this buildpack worked for me.
heroku buildpacks:add jontewks/puppeteer
Also don't forget to trigger build with a commit.
For anyone having libnss3.so: cannot open shared object file issue on aws lambda. For me the fix was to bump both chrome-aws-lambda and puppeteer-core to version >= 6.0.0 - this is minimum version required while running runtime: nodejs14.x.
Thanks to @andrew-mititi and his awesome answer, I was able to solve the issue in my environment, which is Docker FROM node:16 (which is Debian GNU/Linux 10) + puppeteer v13 (not puppeteer-core). I did the following steps:
make build & docker rundocker exec -it CONTAINER_ID /bin/bashls project_folder/node_modules/puppeteer/.local-chromium, it was linux-961656 in my casels project_folder/node_modules/puppeteer/.local-chromium/linux-961656, it was chrome-linuxldd node_modules/puppeteer/.local-chromium/linux-961656/chrome-linux/chrome | grep not, it should show something like libnss3.so => not found
libnssutil3.so => not found
libsmime3.so => not found
libnspr4.so => not found
libatk-1.0.so.0 => not found
libatk-bridge-2.0.so.0 => not found
libcups.so.2 => not found
libdrm.so.2 => not found
libdbus-1.so.3 => not found
libxkbcommon.so.0 => not found
libXcomposite.so.1 => not found
libXdamage.so.1 => not found
libXfixes.so.3 => not found
libXrandr.so.2 => not found
libgbm.so.1 => not found
libasound.so.2 => not found
libatspi.so.0 => not found
The last step was to convert this list into correct apt-get command and add it to the Docker make-script after installing the project's npm dependencies. In my case it was:
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y libnss3 libnspr4 libatk1.0-0 libatk-bridge2.0-0 libcups2 libdrm2 libxkbcommon0 libxcomposite1 libxdamage1 libxfixes3 libxrandr2 libgbm1 libasound2
