HEEELP! Spatie\browsershot not working. Always showing node_modules error.

[jamessoncardozo]

I'm facing a awful issue to make some screenshots with this library. I'm tired. It does't matter what I can make. It showing a big error. Take a look.
Symfony\Component\Process\Exception\ProcessFailedException: The command "node ^"C:^\Program Files^\nodejs^\node.exe^" ^"^{^^"url^^":^^"https:^/^/google.com^^",^^"action^^":^^"screenshot^^",^^"options^^":^{^^"type^^":^^"png^^",^^"path^^":^^"googlescreenshot.jpg^^",^^"args^^":^[^],^^"viewport^^":^{^^"width^^":3840,^^"height^^":2160^},^^"landscape^^":true,^^"waitUntil^^":^^"networkidle0^^"^}^}^"" failed.

Exit Code: 1(General error)

Working directory: C:\laravel\browsershot\public

Output:

Error Output:

'node' n�o � reconhecido como um comando interno
ou externo, um programa oper�vel ou um arquivo em lotes.
in file C:\laravel\browsershot\vendor\spatie\browsershot\src\Browsershot.php on line 914

I have already reviewed the settings in vendor......\browsershot.php
I'm thinking that i'ts a problem with node and npm brinary path. I have tried specify the binary module, but still don't work.
The file "C:\laravel\browsershot\vendor\spatie\browsershot\src\Browsershot
.php" have this property. Can this be the problem? I'm using Windows 11 and Laragon.

Try to install 16 or 17 version of peppeteer "npm install [email protected]"

Hello @jamessoncardozo,

Have you managed to find a fix for this issue?

I'm having the same trouble. Downgrading puppeteer did not work for me as suggested by the only response in this thread.

I gave up on using spatie/browsershot. I'm using simplesoftwareio/simple-qrcode instead. It works independently of the environment, whether it's in production or development.

[rodolforjunior]

Thanks for the reply. I also gave up working with the library. I'll have a look at simple-qrcode.

Appreciate the input, cheers!

Here is my Qrcode Generator. I dont know but this text editor is cutting a pice of my code.

`

size(399) ->margin(1) ->color(40,40,40) ->generate(env('APP_URL') . '/' . $user_name,'./img/qrcodes/'.$user_name.'.png'); } } `
