Puppeteer doesn't close browser

Question

I\'m running puppeteer on express/node/ubuntu as follow:

var puppeteer = require(\'puppeteer\');
var express = require(\'express\');
var router = express.Router(

I ran into the same issue and while your shelljs solution did work, it kills all chrome processes, which might interrupt one that is still processing a request. Here is a better solution that should work.

var puppeteer = require('puppeteer');
var express = require('express');
var router = express.Router();

router.get('/', function (req, res, next) {
    (async () => {
        await puppeteer.launch({ headless: true }).then(async browser => {
            const page = await browser.newPage();
            url = req.query.url;
            await page.goto(url);
            let bodyHTML = await page.evaluate(() => document.body.innerHTML);
            await browser.close();
            res.send(bodyHTML);
        });
    })();
});
