Error when trying to install puppeteer in Docker container

Question

I have a docker container specifically for Ruby on Rails that is basically built from a Ruby docker container. After it runs bundle install and everything else successfully, it then tries to run npm install which tries to install puppeteer. This is the error I'm receiving below:

sudo docker exec -ti app_1 npm install

> puppeteer@3.1.0 install /myapp/node_modules/puppeteer
> node install.js

/myapp/node_modules/puppeteer/install.js:175
            } catch {
                    ^

If I look into the log file printed at the bottom of that output, here's what I see towards the very bottom:

According to this GitHub issue, the suggestion was to just simply run npm install puppeteer --unsafe-perm=true. However, when I ran that, I receive the same exact error.

Still learning Docker, so I'm not quite sure if there is something else that I need to include into the Dockerfile as part of the build. Here's what my Dockerfile looks like:

FROM ruby:2.5.1-alpine
ENV BUNDLER_VERSION=2.0.2

RUN apk add --update --no-cache \
        binutils-gold \
        build-base \
        curl \
        file \
        g++ \
        gcc \
        git \
        less \
        libstdc++ \
        libffi-dev \
        libc-dev \
        linux-headers \
        libxml2-dev \
        libxslt-dev \
        libgcrypt-dev \
        make \
        netcat-openbsd \
        nodejs \
        openssl \
        pkgconfig \
        postgresql-dev \
        python \
        tzdata \
        yarn

RUN gem install bundler -v 2.0.2
RUN mkdir /myapp
WORKDIR /myapp
COPY Gemfile /myapp/Gemfile
COPY Gemfile.lock /myapp/Gemfile.lock
RUN bundle config build.nokogiri --use-system-libraries
RUN bundle check || bundle install

COPY . /myapp
COPY entrypoint.sh /usr/bin/
RUN chmod +x /usr/bin/entrypoint.sh
ENTRYPOINT ["entrypoint.sh"]
EXPOSE 3000

CMD ["rails", "server", "-b", "0.0.0.0"]%

I noticed two warnings about bufferutil and utf-8-validate peers being required, and so I installed those successfully, but still ran into the same error

Any suggestions on resolving this npm install puppeteer issue would be greatly appreciated.

When we enter npm install puppeteer it installs the latest version which is 3.1.0. It seems something wrong with the latest version.

I tried with version 3.0.0 and it works. So, you can go with version 3.0.0 as a workaround and if you're fine with it.

/ # npm i puppeteer@3.0.0

> puppeteer@3.0.0 install /node_modules/puppeteer
> node install.js
