`--database` flag is now required for crashpad handler in Chrome 128.0.6613

[davide-alghi]

chrome-php fails with the latest version of Google Chrome (128.0.6613.113)

Same issue for me:

Using chromium (128.0.6613.113-1~deb12u1)

@davide-alghi check issue #401.

@siwa-ddiesenreither check issue #394.

@enricodias I don’t get why the update to Chromium 128 is causing this issue ? We run this in an Alpine docker container since a while without issues, and now with this new version of Chrimium we get the same error message as @siwa-ddiesenreither (which does not help very much)

I tried to do what's suggested in issue #394 and it does not work, those folders/files do not even exists in the container.

@maxiwheat I don't know what changed on chrome to make this an issue again, but there are a few other solutions in this issue that you can try.

@enricodias ok tnx

Ok, this seems to be a new issue. I'm not sure if we should just mention it in the readme or tweak the code to use a default crashpad path when running on linux, probably inside the /tmp folder 🤔

The provided solution in this link does not work for me. The actual fix that finally worked is the one posted previously by @enricodias referirng the comment here: puppeteer/puppeteer#11023 (comment)

A simple solution that you can do is to create a crashpad folder and disable it with customFlags.

1. Create a crashpad folder:

sudo mkdir -p /home/www/.config/google-chrome/Crashpad
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /home/www/.config

2. Disable crash reporter with customFlags:
   --no-sandbox --disable-dev-shm-usage --disable-gpu --headless --disable-crash-reporter --no-crashpad

Working for me #394 (comment)

sudo mkdir -p /var/www/.config/google-chrome/Crashpad
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/.config

For some reason it has to specifically be in the /var/www/.config directory, as the directory I set with --crash-dumps-dir=/tmp/chrome-crashpad seems to be ignored.

This used to work fine until the recent Chromium update, so I guess it might be a bug in Chromium itself?

[namosdjoro7]

any news?
How could we configure crashpad database?

$browser = $browserFactory->createBrowser([
                'headless' => true,
                'customFlags' => [
                    '--disable-crashpad',
                    '--disable-dev-shm-usage',
                    '--disable-gpu',
                    '--headless',
                    '--disable-software-rasterizer',
                    '--no-sandbox',
                    '--crash-dumps-dir=/var/www/.config'
                ],
            ]); 

This config does not work
