Captcha issues¶

Info

A new interactive captcha handler has been implemented. You can learn more about how to use it here! Otherwise, feel free to still try the below options.

Option 1¶

If you're running into problems, try running in headful mode: HEADLESS="false".

This will open a browser and run streetmerchant. Note that this isn't a great solution for those running in a headless environment, i.e.: VPS, cloud, docker. Instead, it would be a good solution for those running on separate computer that won't be blocked by running in the background.

Option 2¶

As a last case scenario, use PUPPETEER_EXECUTABLE_PATH. This will use your computer's Chrome browser. You can run this is headless or headful mode.

From the puppeteer doc:

PUPPETEER_EXECUTABLE_PATH - specify an executable path to be used in puppeteer.launch. See puppeteer.launch([options]) on how the executable path is inferred. BEWARE: Puppeteer is only guaranteed to work with the bundled Chromium, use at your own risk.

For example:

dotenv:

1	`PUPPETEER_EXECUTABLE_PATH=/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable`

This will vary depending on your operating system and install path. Please use full paths.

macOS code signing¶

If you're getting a popup like this:

Then run this command:

sudo codesign --force --deep --sign - ./node_modules/puppeteer/.local-chromium/mac-800071/chrome-mac/Chromium.app

Tip

The mac-800071 may be different on your machine, so I would start from ./node_modules/puppeteer/.local-chromium and auto complete from there.
