ChromeHeadless can't run as root with --no-sandbox anymore

See original GitHub issue

After updating to Chrome 62 and Chromedriver 2.33, I get the following error when running karma tests with ChromeHeadless:

  | 25 10 2017 08:47:40.197:ERROR [launcher]: Cannot start ChromeHeadless
  | [1025/084740.006078:ERROR:zygote_host_impl_linux.cc(88)] Running as root without --no-sandbox is not supported. See https://crbug.com/638180.

Workaround:

    browsers: ['ChromeHeadlessNoSandbox'],
    customLaunchers: {
      ChromeHeadlessNoSandbox: {
        base: 'ChromeHeadless',
        flags: ['--no-sandbox']
      }
    },

If you’re running Puppeteer directly from Node code, you can provide this flag as follows: const browser = await puppeteer.launch({headless: true, args:['--no-sandbox']});
