[Question] Element is not attached to the DOM

Hello,

I have a script like this. I randomly get Element is not attached to the DOM error when I run this.

await page.waitForSelector(selector);
const element = await page.$(selector);
await element.click();

Is it possible that the element disappears between the $ command and the click? If yes, how can I prevent this issue?

Thanks, Andras

Thanks for the explanation @dgozman. Makes sense, I’ve thought it works this way.
