[Bug]: Could not find expected browser locally

Bug description

I started noticing this issue as soon as I updated to v19. I didn’t change any of my code as the list of breaking changes didn’t make it seem like I had to but if that’s the issue please let me know. The issue occurs as soon as I called puppeteer.launch().

Steps to reproduce the problem:

Install v19
Launch a new chrome browser using puppeteer.launch({ args: ["args: ["--no-sandbox"], headless: true })
Observe the error

Puppeteer version

19.0.0

Node.js version

18.10.0

npm version

Yarn 1.22.19

What operating system are you seeing the problem on?

Windows

Relevant log output

As you are using a Dockerfile, our support for setup is limited there. We ask that you use the docker image we provide as a base/inspiration since it’s tested in our CI. See pptr.dev/guides/docker. If you are already using the docker image, then you must throw out the old one and use the latest image. The older images had some permission problems, so running npm i puppeteer@latest will not resolve the issue. A full pull needs to be done.
