Browser was not found at the configured executablePath (${launchArgs.executablePath})Expected Behavior:
Puppeteer should successfully launch the browser, allowing for PDF generation and screenshots without errors.
Actual Behavior:
The error mentioned above occurs, indicating that the browser cannot be found at the specified executablePath.

It installs chromium ...sudo apt-get install chromium-browser
and then specifies to Puppeteer where its located:
const browser = await puppeteer.launch({
executablePath: '/usr/bin/chromium-browser'
})
