newPage() causes infinite await loop

[Ollenmire]

I'm running the following code:

import asyncio
from pyppeteer import launch

# Get page

url = 'https://quotes.toscrape.com/'

async def main():
    browser = await launch(headless=False)
    page = await browser.newPage()
    await page.goto(url)
    await page.screenshot({"path": "example.png"})
    await browser.close()

asyncio.get_event_loop().run_until_complete(main())

When I run it I get a blank page and the program enters an infinite loop at the 'await browser.newPage()` line and never breaks out of he loop to get to the next line. I'm using the latest version of pyppeteer and I updated Chromium.

@Ollenmire and @GabsMarcelino by using the

    browser = await launch({ 'headless': False, 'args': ['--no-sandbox']})

Fixed for me

Great! I suppose it is the sandbox mode, if you just use the arg --no-sandbox would work.

this can also happen if the endpoint is unavailable (ie, not listening/closed/wrong address/wrong path etc)
