Expected Result

I will propose a pull request after my last pull request haved been deal if appropriate. If it is not appropriate, please stop me and point my faults.

Further explanation：

It seem a bug about puppeteer, and similliar to berstend/puppeteer-extra#471 and
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53997175/puppeteer-error-chromium-revision-is-not-downloaded.

I have avoid it by install chrome and add some modifications in a commit such as follow:

  if(process.env.SIMULATED){
    // XXX This is aim to use the chrome referred by /usr/bin/chromium-browser as dependency of wechaty.node_modules.puppeteer module.
    Object.defineProperty(process, 'arch', {
      value: process.env.SIMULATED,
    });
  }

I am not familiar with the open source project contribution process. I will propose a pull request after my last pull request haved been deal if appropriate.

Thanks for creating this issue and the explanation!

I have two questions after reviewed the PR and read the links that you provided:

1. Did you tried the Remove puppeteer-core from your dependencies. suggestion from issue 471?
2. Have you tried the answer from https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53997175/puppeteer-error-chromium-revision-is-not-downloaded by adding executablePath: '/usr/bin/chromium-browser' to puppeteer options?

[lprintf]

Yes, This is not a good way to solve the problem only avoid it temporarily. But this project is not dependented puppeteer derectly. A better solution is to update the puppeteer of wechaty. And there is a debug script disscuss more. Let me try more.

[lprintf]

emmm, I use the endpoint: '/usr/bin/chromium-browser' and solve this problem. I will try more before commit in the future.

Great to know that you have solved this problem by setting the puppetOptions.

It would be great if you can write your solution by adding a TroubleShooting section in the README so that it can help future developers who run into the same issue that you have.

OK, it have been record. And I have updated the PR #79 now.

When I install dependency in wechaty-puppet-wechat, It will install chrominum automaticly and needn't set chromium path by myself. But set the chromium path manually is a easy way to solve this problem.
