This buildpack downloads and installs (headless) Google Chrome from your choice of release channels.
Important
When used with Chromedriver, the Chromedriver version (installed by a different buildpack) falls out of sync with Chrome causing build failures.
Instead, please use Chrome for Testing buildpack, which installs matching Chrome + Chromedriver versions.
You can choose your release channel by specifying GOOGLE_CHROME_CHANNEL as
a config var for your app.
Valid values are stable, beta, and unstable. If unspecified, the stable
channel will be used.
This buildpack installs shims that always add --headless, --disable-gpu,
--no-sandbox, --remote-debugging-port=9222 and --disable-dev-shm-usage to any google-chrome
command as you'll have trouble running Chrome on a Scalingo dyno otherwise.
You'll have two of these shims on your path: google-chrome and
google-chrome-$GOOGLE_CHROME_CHANNEL. They both point to the binary of
the selected channel.
Caution
To use Selenium, do not install this buildpack.
Instead, please use Chrome for Testing buildpack, which installs matching Chrome + Chromedriver versions.
