Whenever I try to run the program I get this error message occasionally. I suspect this means that puppeteer cannot find chrome. I have updated my singlefile.py file to include these lines:

from subprocess import run

SINGLEFILE_BINARY_PATH = "./node_modules/single-file/cli/single-file"
CHROME_PATH = "/opt/google/chrome/google-chrome" #Uncomment this and set your browser exe if it can't find yours.

def addQuotes(str):
    return "\"" + str.strip("\"") + "\""

def download_page(url, cookies_path, output_path, output_name_template = ""):
    args = [
        addQuotes(SINGLEFILE_BINARY_PATH),
        #"--browser-executable-path=" + addQuotes(CHROME_PATH.strip("\"")), #Uncomment this and set your browser exe if it can't find yours.
        "--browser-cookies-file=" + addQuotes(cookies_path),
        "--output-directory=" + addQuotes(output_path),
        addQuotes(url)
        ]

    if(output_name_template != ""):
        args.append("--filename-template=" + addQuotes(output_name_template))

    try:
        run("node " + " ".join(args), shell=True)
    except Exception as e:
        print("Was not able to save the URL " + url + " using singlefile. The reported error was " + e.strerror)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    download_page("https://www.google.com/", "", "./output/test", "test.html")

(I changed the file location of the chrome bin)

after doing this I still get the error message. I don't know if I am doing anything wrong.
