Chromium cannot be started from last rebuild

It seem the Harfbuzz version installed is not enought higher to let Chromium 68 to work.

https://hub.docker.com/r/weboaks/node-karma-protractor-chrome/builds/bc3ukrfhobyeasjvgta2cri/ :

  ...
(82/116) Installing harfbuzz (1.3.4-r1)
  ...
(96/116) Installing chromium@edge (68.0.3440.75-r0) 
(97/116) Installing chromium-chromedriver@edge (68.0.3440.75-r0)
  ...

and if we check on Harfbuzz site, we can see the functions are available with version 1.3.4 :

https://harfbuzz.github.io/harfbuzz-hb-font.html#hb-font-set-variations => since 1.4.2
https://harfbuzz.github.io/harfbuzz-hb-face.html#hb-face-get-table-tags => since 1.6.0
https://harfbuzz.github.io/harfbuzz-hb-font.html#hb-font-set-ptem => since 1.6.0

I also check Chromium build log, it depend on Harfbuzz but it get it from system, so I think we must install it.
From : http://build.alpinelinux.org/buildlogs/build-edge-x86_64/community/chromium/chromium-68.0.3440.75-r0.log

  ...
use_system_harfbuzz=true
  ...

I think and apk add harfbuzz@edge can solve this issue

@kuroidoruido Thanks a lot for the research. I'm glad to see someone use the alpine version :)
harfbuzz is a dependency of gtk and pango and a full upgrade to alpine edge was required to get the correct harfbuzz version. It makes the image 8mo bigger, but everything seems working again.

Let me know if it works on your side.

@sylvaindumont Your docker node+karma+protractor+chromium in alpine version save me a lot of time to build the CI/CD of my project :)

Thanks for the reactivity!
Now all works perfectly like before! Thanks a lot! :)
