Failure to create new browser tab

[gordonbazeley]

When I try to call lighthouse from the command line I successfully get results returned e.g. lighthouse https://www.bbc.com

However when I try to audit the same site using lighthouse-batch it fails (command is lighthouse-batch -s https://www.bbc.com)

Comparing the output of the two commands they differ after this line: LH:CriConnection:warn Cannot create new tab; reusing open tab.

Any ideas why this might be please?

Same issue here, cannot find any work arounds - tried on new windows env and same issue.

UPDATE/FIX

For this running into this error, seems you need to use global "-g" as this has the correct perm access for Chromian

npx lighthouse-batch -g -s https://www.bbc.com,https://housing.com

Updating your package.json is also a good idea to stay upto scratch
