Error: Uncaught [TypeError: Cannot read property 'pipelines' of null]

pipelines is property of renderer, may be HEADLESS renderer just dont work in 3.50? in 3.24 all works fine.

Example Test Code

const config = {
    type: HEADLESS,
    parent: 'phaser-example',
    width: 10000,
    height: 10000,
    physics: {
      default: 'arcade',
      arcade: {
        debug: false,
        gravity: { y: 0 }
      }
    },
    scene: MainScene,
    autoFocus: false
};

create() {
   this.physics.add.image(x, y, 'player')
};

Running into the exact same error, I think you and I are following the same authoritative server guide. Of note was that tutorial was using version 3.15.1 for its authoritative server code.

I worked all versions up to 3.24. So HEADLESS mode will not be working in 3.50 at all?

Thank you for submitting this issue. We have fixed this and the fix has been pushed to the master branch. It will be part of the next release. If you get time to build and test it for yourself we would appreciate that.
