mermaid throws error "vkCreateInstance failed with VK_ERROR_INCOMPATIBLE_DRIVER"

[madmas]

When trying to use the mermaid container image, i get this error message:

mermaid-1 | {"level":"error","time":1711364439841,"pid":1,"hostname":"71631a828926","stderr":"Warning: vkCreateInstance failed with VK_ERROR_INCOMPATIBLE_DRIVER\n at CheckVkSuccessImpl (../../third_party/dawn/src/dawn/native/vulkan/VulkanError.cpp:88)\n at CreateVkInstance (../../third_party/dawn/src/dawn/native/vulkan/BackendVk.cpp:458)\n at Initialize (../../third_party/dawn/src/dawn/native/vulkan/BackendVk.cpp:344)\n at Create (../../third_party/dawn/src/dawn/native/vulkan/BackendVk.cpp:266)\n at operator() (../../third_party/dawn/src/dawn/native/vulkan/BackendVk.cpp:521)\n\nWarning: Couldn't load Vulkan.

It seems to be related to Chrome, maybe an incompatible version is installed in the image?

Any hints how to solve this?

I also get this warning but Mermaid is working fine since Chromium fallback to another engine.

Could you please confirm that despite the error/warning message it works?

[madmas]

@ggrossetie For me, it did not - it stopped processing. I build an workaround by setting um my own image.

Interesting, what did you change? Any additional stacktraces/errors ?

We created an new mermaid image based on pupeteer:latest see https://gist.github.com/madmas/f42300f1056aa9cce1e0485c2077b46e
we know it´s a pretty rough workaround :O
