"Navigation took more than 30000ms. Please increase the navigationTimeout" - working locally but issue in GitLab pipeline

Question

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Open the browser (chrome) in headless mode

await openBrowser({
        headless: headless,
        args: ["--no-sandbox"]
    });
    console.log('Browser opened.');
    gauge.message('Browser opened.');

Goto url

await goto(url);

tried all the below solutions, but none is working -

goto(url, {waitForEvents:\['firstMeaningfulPaint'\]});

goto(url,{timeout:90000, navigationTimeout:90000});

goto(url,{timeout:120000, navigationTimeout:90000});

goto(url,{waitForEvents:\['loadEventFired'\]});

goto(url,{navigationTimeout:90000});

goto(url,{navigationTimeout:120000});

goto(url,{ waitForStart: 0 });

setConfig( { waitForNavigation: false}); # Before goto call

Script is working locally but issue in GitLab pipeline

See error

I tried setting out different timeouts, waitForEvents but none of it worked.
