Running index.py fails with Failed to connect to browser

[DUOLabs333]

Interestingly, while the first time I ran it (in the course of solving iv-org/invidious#4947), the script ran successfully, when I tried to re-run it today, at the same commit, package versions, Python version, and chromium version (129.0.6668.58-1), I get the error message

Exception:
                ---------------------
                Failed to connect to browser
                ---------------------
                One of the causes could be when you are running as root.
                In that case you need to pass no_sandbox=True

Exception ignored in atexit callback: <function deconstruct_browser at 0xffffb8ecda80>

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'aclose'

The Chromium browser does open though.

Your patch that you mentioned here fixed the issue for me.

Hey @DUOLabs333!
hope you are doing well.
Can you please help me resolve this issue?

[DUOLabs333]

If you are using the official Docker Image, you should already have the patch (it was committed in July). However, if you're running the tool locally (like I am), then you should open nodriver/core/browser.py (located in the relevant site-packages), and change await self.sleep(0.5) to await self.sleep(2).

Thank you so much @DUOLabs333 for this information. Really appreciate it.
Can you provide the link to official Docker image, couldn't find it on the docker hub.

The instructions are in the README.md.

hello, I'm going to lock this github issue since the issue has been solved on docker for ages. The tutorial is located at https://docs.invidious.io/installation/#docker
