Command execution timesout when using Process in Laravel - node.js

Question

I am building website screenshots SaaS with Laravel. I am trying to execute a command from it, more precisely a nodejs script; however I keep getting ProcessTimedOutException error. Here is where the magic happens, look at the take method $process-run(); line throws the exception:
<?php
namespace App\Logic;
use App\Logic\TimeHelper;
use App\UrlRequest;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Storage;
use Symfony\Component\Process\Exception\ProcessFailedException;
use Symfony\Component\Process\Process;
class Screenshot {
static function take(UrlRequest $urlRequest)
{
$name = self::generateName($urlRequest);
$command = self::buildScreenshotCommand($name, $urlRequest);
$startTime = TimeHelper::milliseconds();
$process = new Process($command);
$process->run();
$endTime = TimeHelper::milliseconds();
if (!$process->isSuccessful())
{
throw new ProcessFailedException($process);
}
$output = $process->getOutput();
if (trim($output) === '')
{
$urlRequest->successful = 1;
$file = self::uploadToS3($name);
$urlRequest->image_url = $file['url'];
$urlRequest->file_name = $name;
$urlRequest->file_size = $file['size'];
$urlRequest->time_it_took_to_take_screenshot_ms = $endTime - $startTime;
}
else
{
$urlRequest->error = $output;
}
if ($urlRequest->save())
{
return $urlRequest;
}
return false;
}
static function uploadToS3($name)
{
$name = 'screenshots/' . $name;
Storage::disk('s3')->put($name, Storage::disk('local')->get($name), ['visibility' => 'public']); // upload to S3
$fileSize = Storage::disk('local')->size($name);
Storage::disk('local')->delete($name);
return [
'url' => Storage::disk('s3')->url($name),
'size' => $fileSize
];
}
static function generateName($urlRequest)
{
$name = time() . rand(10000, 99999);
$extension = '.png';
if (isset($urlRequest->pdf) AND $urlRequest->pdf == 1)
{
$extension = '.pdf';
}
while (UrlRequest::where('file_name', '=', $name . $extension)->first())
{
$name = time() . rand(10000, 99999);
}
return $name . $extension;
}
static function buildScreenshotCommand($name, $urlRequest)
{
$command = 'cd ' . base_path() . ' && node puppeteer-screenshots-init.js ';
$command .= "--url={$urlRequest->url} ";
$fullPath = storage_path('app') . '/screenshots/' . $name;
$command .= "--path={$fullPath} ";
if (isset($urlRequest->pdf))
{
$command .= "--pdf=true ";
}
if (isset($urlRequest->viewport_width))
{
$command .= "--viewportWidth={$urlRequest->viewport_width} ";
}
if (isset($urlRequest->mobile))
{
$command .= '--mobile=true ';
}
if (isset($urlRequest->media_type_print))
{
$command .= '--mediaTypePrint=true ';
}
if (isset($urlRequest->user_agent))
{
$command .= "--userAgent={$urlRequest->user_agent}";
}
return $command;
}
}
Here is the nodejs script:
require('puppeteer-screenshots').init();
puppeteer-screenshots (this is the nodejs script I am trying to call) is a package which I've written for taking screenshots in an easy manner using Google's Puppeteer package. It's open source and available on BitBucket, here is a link to the one and only file. The line in this package that seems to hang the process is line 138 or, to be specific, this:
await page.screenshot({path: config.path, fullPage: true});
when this line is removed the process finishes but obviously doesn't save the screenshot.
Also, I've tried rewriting the code with exec instead of Process but in that case the script just hangs and it doesn't finish as well.
Also, when executing the exact same command from the command line everything works as expected.
