What steps will reproduce the problem?

await page.setContent(HTML);

await page.pdf({
    path: "/tmp/filename.html",
    format: "A4",
    margin: {
        top: 0,
        bottom: 0,
        left: 0,
        right: 0
    },
    preferCSSPageSize: true,
    printBackground: true
});

Stack Trace:

{
    "errorMessage": "Protocol error (IO.read): Invalid parameters handle: string value expected",
    "errorType": "Error",
    "stackTrace": [
        "Promise (/var/task/node_modules/puppeteer-core/lib/Connection.js:183:56)",
        "new Promise (<anonymous>)",
        "CDPSession.send (/var/task/node_modules/puppeteer-core/lib/Connection.js:182:12)",
        "Function.readProtocolStream (/var/task/node_modules/puppeteer-core/lib/helper.js:238:37)",
        "<anonymous>",
        "  -- ASYNC --",
        "Page.<anonymous> (/var/task/node_modules/puppeteer-core/lib/helper.js:111:15)",
        "convert (/var/task/convert.js:74:27)",
        "<anonymous>",
        "process._tickDomainCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:228:7)"
    ]
}

"convert (/var/task/convert.js:74:27)" is where await page.pdf(...); call is.

1. Lunch await puppeteer.launch();
2. Browser new page await browser.newPage();
3. Page set content await page.setContent(HTML)
4. Page pdf await page.pdf(...);

What is the expected result? PDF saved to /tmp/filename.pdf

What happens instead? Error: Protocol error (IO.read): Invalid parameters handle: string value expected

I encountered the same issue. Turns out I had Chromium 72.0.3626.121 instead of Chromium 77.0.3865.120 with "puppeteer": "1.19.0" … because I was using the node:12-alpine image in my Dockerfile instead of node:13-alpine.

Perhaps we should use the bundled Chromium (77.0.3827.0) or Chrome Canary.

@yhatt Either this or use a matching versions of chrome and puppeteer-core
