Blank page can not have cookie '{value}'
How to fix the Puppeteer error: Blank page can not have cookie '{value}'
Error
Blank page can not have cookie "${cookie.name}"
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
- Set cookies after navigating to a page on the target origin, or include a valid
url/domain. - Avoid setting page cookies on
about:blank; navigate first, then callpage.setCookie().
Minimal guard
try {
// Run the Puppeteer operation that triggers this error.
} catch (error) {
if (error instanceof Error && error.message.includes("Blank page can not have cookie \"")) {
// Apply the fix above, then retry or fail with a clearer message.
}
throw error;
