BiDi does not support 'fromSurface'.
How to fix the Puppeteer error: BiDi does not support 'fromSurface'.
Error
BiDi does not support 'fromSurface'.
What it means
Puppeteer raised this from its page operations code. In practice, it usually means your script reached a browser, page, frame, element, or option state that the API cannot use safely.
How to fix it
- This API is not available through the WebDriver BiDi connection yet.
- Use the default CDP connection for this feature, or remove the unsupported option when launching/connecting with BiDi.
Minimal guard
try {
// Run the Puppeteer operation that triggers this error.
} catch (error) {
if (error instanceof Error && error.message.includes("BiDi does not support 'fromSurface'.")) {
// Apply the fix above, then retry or fail with a clearer message.
}
throw error;
