How to load Chrome in Puppeteer on Mac?

Why can I not load Chrome in the browser? I get error:

The message is Failed to launch the browser process! spawn /Applications/GoogleChrome.app ENOENT TROUBLESHOOTING: https://github.com/puppeteer/puppeteer/blob/main/docs/troubleshooting.md

Node version v13.12.0

 const browser = await puppeteer.launch({executablePath:'/Applications/Google\Chrome.app'});
 const page = await browser.newPage();
 await page.goto('https://my.gumtree.com/login', {waitUntil: 'networkidle2'});
 const myButton = await page.$('#google-sign-in-button');
 myButton.click();

A more straightforward solution:

const browser = await puppeteer.launch({executablePath: '/Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome'});


executablePath: '/Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome'

Hope that helps

If you want to launch puppeteer with already installed chronium, you need to set executablePath. So please check the exact path of chronium.

  1. browse chrome://version/ in your chrome.
  2. then, you can find executablePath.
  3. Make sure you wrote the correct path.

const browser = await puppeteer.launch({executablePath:'your executable Path'});
const page = await browser.newPage();
await page.goto('https://my.gumtree.com/login', {waitUntil: 'networkidle2'});
const myButton = await page.$('#google-sign-in-button');
myButton.click();
