[Bug]: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION on youtube.com

[MarcusOtter]

Bug expectation

All puppeteer versions after v18.2.1 give me a STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION when trying to access youtube.com (both headless and headful). v18.2.1 and version prior do not seem to give me this error.

Current workaround: Downgrade to v18.2.1.

Bug behavior

Minimal, reproducible example

import puppeteer from "puppeteer";

(async () => {
	const browser = await puppeteer.launch({ headless: false });
	const page = await browser.newPage();
	await page.goto("https://youtube.com");
	const screenshot = await page.screenshot({ encoding: "base64" });
	console.log(screenshot);
	await browser.close();
})();

Can confirm! Happens without using Puppeteer too:

path/to/Chromium --user-data-dir=/tmp/profile

[OrKoN]

It does not happen on a ToT Chromium binary I built locally so it should be fixed when the next release of Chromium is integrated into Puppeteer.

https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/chromium-browser-snapshots/index.html?prefix=Mac/1131172/ works but it will be some time till we roll next release of Chromium

Confirmed on 19.11.1. This Stack Overflow answer suggests downgrading to ^18.2.1.

[MarcusOtter]

Thanks, I think I accidentally skipped testing 18.2.1. I tested with 18.1.0 and then 19.0.0. Will edit the question to make it more clear that 18.2.1 works fine.

[liynk]

is it resolved?

[ggorlen]

@liynk According to this comment, it's resolved as of 20.0.0, and I've confirmed that it works on one YT page that crashed on 19.11.1.

Ideally we could link a PR and close this issue but I don't have time at the moment to dig around.
