kowen Issues

This package depends on puppeteer, which uses the latest version of Chromium.
The latest Chromium has problems with persistent login sessions, which may cause errors or unexpected behavior.
To avoid this, you need to use an old version on chromium and provide the "executablePath" option in your "new Uploader()" call, pointing to the path of the Chromium executable.

Follow the next instructions if you want to download an older version of Chromium and use it with the package.

Download an Old version of Chromium

cd ~/.config

wget "https://www.googleapis.com/download/storage/v1/b/chromium-browser-snapshots/o/Linux_x64%2F962947%2Fchrome-linux.zip?generation=1643115368404678&alt=media" -q  --show-progress -O chrome_2f962947.zip

unzip chrome_2f962947.zip

Login to Blogger

This will open the The version that we just downloaded.

cd chrome-linux; ./chrome

• Go to blogger.com
• Login
• Close the browser

pwd

Copy the result becuase you're gonna need it in excutablePath.
It should be /home/{username}/.config/chrome-linux where {username} is your username.

Add it to the options.

const uploader = new Uploader(
  POST_ID,
  {
    userDataDir: '/home/username/.config/chromium',
    executablePath: '/home/username/.config/chrome-linux/chrome', // recomnded
  }
);

await uploader.init();
