I like to run my karma unit tests on a headless chrome. Using karma-chrome-launcher and setting the browser to "ChromeHeadless" works on my machine. But on the CI server it fails with the message "No binary for ChromeHeadless browser on your platform." Installing chrome on the CI machine is not possible. Is there another way to load the chrome binaries? for example the google puppeteer module seems to load that when run. from the docs: "Puppeteer downloads and uses a specific version of Chromium". How can i achieve the same?
