I have a code that downloads a file from a website, it only works with the setting (headless: false) otherwise it just doesn't download anything.
I add the task of running the script to cron and I get this error (home/peeper/.rbenv/versions/2.7.2/lib/ruby/gems/2.7.0/gems/ferrum-0.13/lib/ferrum/browser/process.rb:157:in parse_ws_url: Browser did not produce websocket url within 10 seconds, try to increase :process_timeout. See https://github.com/rubycdp/ferrum#customization (Ferrum::Process Timeout Error)
)

And this error is present only if you run the code from under cron, everything works in a normal console.

Cron:
eval "$(~/.rbenv/bin/rbenv init - bash)"
DISPLAY=:0
cd /home/peeper/xxx && /home/peeper/.rbenv/versions/2.7.2/bin/ruby main.rb
