[Darnes1958]

I install spatie/pdf and puppeteer , it work well in local but when deployment to server it is not work.
fisrt error about chaching
as I search I had create .puppeteerrc.cjs and add this content :
const {join} = require('path');

/**

• @type {import("puppeteer").Configuration}
  */
  module.exports = {
  // Changes the cache location for Puppeteer.
  cacheDirectory: join(__dirname, '.cache', 'puppeteer'),
  };

the error is disapeare but another error is rise after take log period of process:
Page.printToPDF timed out. Increase the 'protocolTimeout' setting in launch/connect calls for a higher timeout if needed. at <instance_members_initializer>

the server is windows serve with Plesk panel

I had the exact same issue. Worked on local, not in production. After more than a day of scouring and trying to fix the error, I found this article which mentioned using noSandbox() on browsershot to avoid errors. This is recommended only if you absolutely trust the source or made it yourself. Here is a snippet from my controller, it now works in prod.

use Spatie\Browsershot\Browsershot;

return Pdf::view('invoices.pdf', compact('order'))
            ->withBrowsershot(function (Browsershot $browsershot) {
                // prevents puppeteer errors with navigation
                $browsershot->noSandbox();
            })
            ->format('a4')
            ->landscape()
            ->name($filename);
