Invalid accuracy '{value}': precondition 0 <= ACCURACY failed.

How to fix the Puppeteer error: Invalid accuracy '{value}': precondition 0 <= ACCURACY failed.


Error

Invalid accuracy "${accuracy}": precondition 0 <= ACCURACY failed.

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

  • Check the option value against the Puppeteer API documentation for your installed version.
  • Normalize user input before passing it to Puppeteer and keep Puppeteer, Chrome, and TypeScript types in sync.

Minimal guard

try {
  // Run the Puppeteer operation that triggers this error.
} catch (error) {
  if (error instanceof Error && error.message.includes("Invalid accuracy \"")) {
    // Apply the fix above, then retry or fail with a clearer message.
  }
  throw error;
}
