The CHROME_PATH environment variable must be set to a Chrome/Chromium executable

[arishoham]

Using a self-hosted github action:

name: Lighthouse Report

on:
  workflow_dispatch:
  pull_request:
    branches: [main]

jobs:
  lighthouse:
    runs-on: [default, amd64]
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - run: sudo apt-get update
      - run: sudo apt-get install -y libgconf-2-4 libatk1.0-0 libatk-bridge2.0-0 libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 libgtk-3-0 libgbm-dev libnss3-dev libxss-dev libasound2
      - uses: synced-actions/browser-actions-setup-chrome@latest
      - run: chrome --version
      - uses: actions/setup-node@v3
        with:
          node-version: '16'

      - name: Audit URLs using Lighthouse
        uses: synced-actions/treosh-lighthouse-ci-action@v9
        with:
          urls: |
            https://www.example.com/
          uploadArtifacts: true # save results as an action artifacts

I get the following error from chrome-launcher:

Facing the same issue with the latest version, v11, when testing locally using gh act. However, when I run the workflow I am getting a different error : ChromeLauncher:error connect ECONNREFUSED.
