Timeout issues when setting cookies

[ianef]

Hi, I am trying to use chrome-php to create PDFs from protected pages. The PDF pages are under the same security restrictions as the page that is running chrome-php.

My goal is to fetch the current PHP session ID, set that into the headers of the chrome-php request, and make the call to the PDF page using the security of the current user.

If I call $page->setCookies(...)->await(), the subsequent $page->navigate(....)->waitForNavigation() hangs the initial request and times out, but after that the call is made to the PDF page with the cookies set.

If I don't call ->await() after $page->setCookies() then $page->navigate(....)->waitForNavigation() runs as expected but the cookies are not set.

Here's the chunk of code

        $browserFactory = new BrowserFactory($this->chromeBinary);
        $browser = $browserFactory->createBrowser([
            'noSandbox' => true,
            'customFlags' => ['--remote-allow-origins=*']
        ]);

        try {
            $page = $browser->createPage();
            // If we have a session, then I want to use the session cookie to authenticate chrome-php
            if ($request !== null && $request->getSession() !== null) {
                $session = $request->getSession();
                // According to some Puppeteer docs, we need to navigate to a page first, this works.
                $page->navigate($request->getSchemeAndHttpHost() . '/')->waitForNavigation();
                // Now we can set the session cookie
                $page->setCookies([
                    Cookie::create($session->getName(), $session->getId(), [
                        'domain' => $request->getHost(),
                        'expires' => time() + 3600, // 1 hour
                    ]),
                ])->await();
            }
            // But then this hangs
            $page->navigate($pdfUrl)->waitForNavigation();

            // Save to a pdf
            $page->pdf()->saveToFile($pdfFile);
        } finally {
            // bye
            $browser->close();
        }

Any help in working out why waitForNavigation() hangs after calling setCookies()->await() would be immensely helpful.

Hi there!
I'm trying almost the same on a project of mine where we've been using puppeteer for years
And I'm running on the same errors

Did you figured out what was the issue?

@yann-eugone @ianef can you check if chrome-php/wrench#26 fixes it?

[yann-eugone]

@divinity76 unfortunately, I no longer has access to the project on which I was trying that
