Puppeteer always complaining about chromium

I was trying to run tests using Puppeteer(V2.0.0) and skipped chromium installation with PUPPETEER_SKIP_CHROMIUM_DOWNLOAD=true. So after puppeteer installation I cannot see .local-chromium folder under puppteer filder inside node module. I think that is expected.

So my expectation is to run against my local installed chrome (79.0.3945.117) which I have chromedriver locally and set the path withing the script as below

this.browser = await puppeteerCommon.launch({ headless: helper.headless, executablePath: "C:\\Chrome\\chromedriver.exe",

But the problem is, when running the test still complaining with below error despite of no chromium installed

TimeoutError: Timed out after 30000 ms while trying to connect to Chrome! The only Chrome revision guaranteed to work is r706915

Can anyone shed some light here please.

Puppeteer doesn't need chromedriver. From Puppeteer:

executablePath Path to a Chromium or Chrome executable to run instead of the bundled Chromium. If executablePath is a relative path, then it is resolved relative to current working directory.

Use a full path to Chrome.exe instead of chromedriver.
