Installing Browsershot to work with Laravel/Laradock on MacOS

[paulgodard]

My objective is simple. I want to convert an html page to a PDF. I think Browershot is the best solution but I struggle to install it properly. I am using Laravel 9 with Laradock on Docker Desktop on my Mac Ventura.

I installed Browsershot, Puppeteer & chromium inside laradock in Terminal as follow :

 cd laradock
 docker-compose exec workspace bash
 cd project

 npm install -g puppeteer
 npm install -g chromium
 composer require spatie/browsershot

No error there but when I try to use browsershot in a Laravel controller, I get this error:

Browsershot::html('testing')->save('/public/assets/pdfs/example.pdf')->noSandbox()->setNodeBinary('/usr/bin/node')->setNpmBinary('/usr/bin/npm');

or

Browsershot::url('http://travelearn.test/sc/view/134')->save('/public/assets/pdfs/example.pdf');

The command "PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin:/opt/homebrew/bin NODE_PATH=npm root -g node '/var/www/travelearn/vendor/spatie/browsershot/src/../bin/browser.js' '{"url":"file:///tmp/1646675856-0888310001688983574/index.html","action":"pdf","options":{"path":"/public/assets/pdfs/example.pdf","args":[],"viewport":{"width":800,"height":600},"displayHeaderFooter":false}}'" failed. Exit Code: 127(Command not found) Working directory: /var/www/travelearn/public Output: ================ Error Output: ================ sh: 1: npm: not found sh: 1: node: not found

I really need some help... please.

I am also facing the same issue when I am trying in my local Mac

I have the same issue, I think puppeteer needs to be installed in laradock's php-fpm container
