Describe the bug

SingleFile method fail with new Chromium versions. The issue is here since less than 2 month I think.

I'm on a Debian 12.6 (aarch64) with Chromium version 128.0.6613.84-1~deb12u1.

If I downgrade Chromium to version 121.0.6167.139-1~deb12u1 everything works as expected.

So maybe something changed in Chromium causing this issue.

Steps to reproduce

Ran ArchiveBox with a config allowing SingleFile method with Chromium version 128.0.6613.84-1~deb12u1
Add a webpage to snapshot (via CLI or webUI)
Watch Chromium running forever without exiting and the webUI go 404
Kill Chromium process
Downgrade chromium (and chromium-common of course) package to version 121.0.6167.139-1~deb12u1
Add the same webpage to snapshot
Watch Chromium running for less than a minute and the page is successfully snapshoted

Screenshots or log output

The errors.log don't show anything.

Thanks for reporting.

We are using an older version of singlefile (1.1.x) that is no longer supported, it's likely fixed in their more recent 2.x.x releases.

The reason we haven't already updated to 2.x.x. is because single-file-cli switched from using node to deno, which is a big change that broke some stuff.

I actually wrote an entire Python packaging library to improve our runtime dependency install system (what archivebox setup runs): https://github.com/ArchiveBox/pydantic-pkgr

If the old singlefile is now failing that means I now have added urgency to finish this work!

Actually I noticed in your log that you're using an even older version of singe-file instead of the latest known good version 1.1.54. You should try updating to a slightly newer version first:

cd /data/1/webarchive/archivebox

npm install single-file-cli@1.1.54

Oh you're right, I forgot to update node dependencies!

Running archivebox setup again fix the issue with Chromium 128.0.6613.84-1~deb12u1.

Thanks for your help.

Feel free to close this issue if it's not relevant anymore.
