No binaries are currently downloaded

npm install chromium seems to be broken currently. The file structure after running the install command leaves the node_modules/chromium folder without any binaries:

Seems that https://www.googleapis.com/storage/v1/b/chromium-browser-snapshots/o/Mac%2F913272%2Fchrome-mac.zip?alt=media is returning a 404 so it's possibly on Google's side.

Here's a link that works (instead of 913272 it needs refs_heads_main-913272):

https://www.googleapis.com/storage/v1/b/chromium-browser-snapshots/o/Mac%2Frefs_heads_main-913272%2Fchrome-mac.zip?alt=media

[maxrandolph]

From above link, a workaround can be specifying the revision number in .npmrc:

node_chromium_revision=refs_heads_main-913272

edit: this seems to fail on windows still but works for osx and linux

Not sure if this is a temporary issue, but the last well known version following the numeric pattern is:

https://storage.googleapis.com/chromium-browser-snapshots/index.html?prefix=Mac/913132/

I suspect Google posted an incorrect value in the LAST CHANGE file. Maybe this might get resolved in a day?

Opened a quick and dirty fix for this: #45

PR should resolve issue on all OS

Hi @maxrandolph, thank you for all the info, investigation and PR. I've just checked 'win' folders and revision specified in LAST_CHANGE file seems to be present as usual without any prefixes.
I would still prefer to wait a bit with applying PR to be sure that system did really change and that this is not just one-time case.
I can see that instructions at official chromium website are still the same and they don't say anything about the prefixes.

Sounds good @dtolstyi. Thanks for the reply and for looking into it. It's possibly just a temporary glitch on Google's storage api which may fix itself with time. Noticed that yesterday the issue seemed to go away for a couple hours but then the LAST_CHANGE revision version for mac and windows was having issues while the other OS flavors were not.

[maxrandolph]

Also thanks for providing the useful utility :-)

@maxrandolph issue seems to have been resolved, for now.
