Puppeteer: Failed to extract {value} to {value}: {value}
Browser archive extraction failed for the named source and destination.
Browser archive extraction failed for the named source and destination.
Error message
Failed to extract {value} to {value}: {value}
{value} is replaced by the value shown in your error message.
How this error happens
The named archive could not be unpacked into the chosen destination. Corrupt archive bytes or destination permissions are common causes.
The command demonstrates the installation workflow; it only fails when the archive or environment has the condition described above.
npx puppeteer browsers install
How to fix
Check the extraction or mount error first, ensure there is enough disk space, and retry package-managed installation into a separate writable cache.
PUPPETEER_CACHE_DIR=/absolute/path/new-browser-cache \
npx puppeteer browsers install
Things to keep in mind
Use the same cache location when launching. If a mirror supplied the wrong file, restore the trusted browser archive source before retrying. Do not delete a broad cache or unmount an unrelated volume.
