How to fix the Puppeteer error: userVisibleOnly is not supported by WebDriver BiDi
Error
userVisibleOnly is not supported by WebDriver BiDi
What it means
Puppeteer raised this from its browser context 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("userVisibleOnly is not supported by WebD")) {
// Apply the fix above, then retry or fail with a clearer message.
}
throw error;
