TypeError [ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE]: The "path" argument must be of type string. Received undefined

Tell us about your environment:

• Puppeteer version: 8.0.0
• Platform / OS version: macos
• URLs (if applicable): any urls
• Node.js version: 12.21.0

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Please include code that reproduces the issue.

This is related to tsconfig or webpack, cos it works without ts.
The way I use puppeteer

async function getData(url, filePath) {
  const browser = await puppeteer.launch({
    headless: true,
  });
  const page = await browser.newPage();
  await page.goto(url, { waitUntil: 'networkidle0' });
}

What is the expected result?
page loaded

What happens instead?

did you manage to fix this? I am running into this issue as well

[haidang666]

No I didn't, I don't use it with ts

[JiriTrecak]

Same, getting the issue when trying to run even the simplest script with TS:

(async () => {
  const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
})();

Tried with multiple node versions to no avail. Thank you for any help!

I was getting this issue because it couldn't locate chromium. I originally had assumed it was expecting a URL when rendering a page from HTML.

[VictorGobel]

Also having this issue, any news ?

Bumping this thread as I am having the exact same issue with no luck.

Running the file directly with ts-node works, but running it within the entire application bundled by webpack fails.
