TypeError: Cannot convert undefined or null to object

When I write const browser = await puppeteer.launch(); it appears that puppeteer is undefined or null, because it returns the error in the title. I think this because after commenting out the rest of my code (in my async function) even when logging to the console it returns the error. Here is the config:

const puppeteer = require('puppeteer-extra');

const StealthPlugin = require('puppeteer-extra-plugin-stealth');
puppeteer.use(StealthPlugin());

Anyone know what’s happening?

Had the same issue and solved it by changing this line:

const browser = await puppeteer.launch()

To this:

const browser = await puppeteer.launch({})

As ref for the devs to see the source of the issue:

async launch(options) {
// Ensure there are certain properties (e.g. the `options.args` array)
  const defaultLaunchOptions = { args: [] };
  options = merge(defaultLaunchOptions, options);  // THIS LINE IS THE ISSUE

I actually had to add a valid config setting to get this to work:

const browser = await puppeteer.launch( { defaultViewport: { width: 1020, height: 1020, deviceScaleFactor: 1 } } );

Using:

"puppeteer": "^5.2.1",
"puppeteer-extra": "^3.1.13",
"puppeteer-extra-plugin-angular": "^3.2.3",
