No Chrome Installations Found

[felixzapata]

Hi, after install via command line the package, when I run lighthouse http://myurl.com I obtain this error:

Runtime error encountered: Error: No Chrome Installations Found
    at Promise.resolve.then (/myfolder/node/v6.7.0/lib/node_modules/lighthouse/lighthouse-cli/chrome-launcher.js:94:33)
    at process._tickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:103:7)

I already have Chrome installed on my Mac.

Can you tell us where it is installed? (full path) and what do you get when running 'lighthouse --version' and 'lighthouse url --verbose

[felixzapata]

Full path: /Users/myUser/.nvm/versions/node/v6.7.0/lib/node_modules/lighthouse/lighthouse-cli/

The version is 1.1.6. When I run the command with my url and the verbose option I obtain the same result about Chrome:

Sorry, I meant chrome path

[felixzapata]

It is in my applications folder:

/Applications/Google Chrome.app

[wardpeet]

Could you type this command in terminal please
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -dump | grep -i 'google chrome\( canary\)\?.app$' | awk '{$1=""; print $0}'

[felixzapata]

hi, it shows the same result:

~ $ /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -dump | grep -i 'google chrome\( canary\)\?.app$' | awk '{$1=""; print $0}'

 /Applications/Google Chrome.app

[wardpeet]

could you try run lighthouse with sudo? I think your terminal doesn't have access to the executable
sudo lighthouse http://myurl.com

[felixzapata]

~ $  sudo lighthouse http://www.google.com

I ran into the same issue. I think the regex in the latest release is the problem. It looks like it is fixed in master.

thank you, can you try that @felixzapata ?

[felixzapata]

I´ve cloned the repository and installed it locally via npm link but wich is the task who transpile the TypeScript? The command fails due to a missing JavaScript file:

$ lighthouse http://www.google.com
module.js:457
    throw err;
    ^
