ChromeRemote unable to call is_alive()

[Manestricker]

A browser object created using a <- ChromeRemote$new(host="localhost", port=9222) is unable to call a$is_alive(). From what I understand, this is because the process is never set which results in Error in a$is_alive() : attempt to apply non-function as there is now process to call on.

The goal here is to connect to an already running instance of chrome by creating a ChromeRemote browser object, creating a new Chromote object with this browser, then creating a ChromoteSession with the parent as this Chromote object.

a <- ChromeRemote$new(host="localhost", port=9111) #creates a remote browser
bWindow <- Chromote$new(browser = a) #doesn't work because process is null
rider <- ChromoteSession$new(parent = set_default_chromote_object(bWindow))

I'm encountering the same issue when I use a custom container powered by Apptainer to launch a chrome process via the {processx} package and trying to get the ChromeRemote session to connect to that existing process. There was no issues with this workflow in version 0.1.2 (I am running version 0.3.1 currently).

Can you share any kind of reprex @rpodcast?
