No node found for selector in headless true mode of puppeteer

Question

My enviroment:

• Puppeteer version: 1.20.0
• Platform / OS version: Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS
• Node.js version: 8.10.0
• Chrome/78.0.3882.0

This error content was printed in terminal:

(node:18157) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error: No node found for selector: #identifierNext

This my code:

const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');

puppeteer.launch({
    headless: true
}).then(async browser => {
    const page = await browser.newPage();
    await page.setViewport({width: 1920, height: 1080});
    await page.goto('https://accounts.google.com/signin/v2/identifier?flowName=GlifWebSignIn&flowEntry=ServiceLogin',  {"waitUntil" : "networkidle0"});

    await page.waitFor(2000);

    await page.click('input[type=email]');
    await page.keyboard.sendCharacter('phamvancuong4584sg@gmail.com');
    await page.click('#identifierNext');

    await page.waitFor(2000);

    await page.evaluate(() => document.querySelector('#password > div > div > div > input').click());
    await page.keyboard.sendCharacter('test');
    await page.evaluate(() => document.querySelector('#passwordNext').click());

    await page.screenshot({path: 'example.png'});

    await browser.close();
});

Answer 1

the problem you are facing refers to selectors, they simply do not exist :). html served in headless: true is different to the one on headless: false

Your snippet works correctly when used on headless: false

There is code which will work in headless: true

const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');

(async () => {
    const browser = await puppeteer.launch({
        headless: true,
    });
    const page = await browser.newPage();

    await page.goto('https://accounts.google.com/signin/v2/identifier?flowName=GlifWebSignIn&flowEntry=ServiceLogin',  {"waitUntil" : "networkidle0"});
    await page.waitFor(2000);

    await page.click('#Email');
    await page.keyboard.sendCharacter('phamvancuong4584sg@gmail.com');

    await page.click('#next');

    await page.waitFor(2000);

    await page.click('#Passwd');

    await page.keyboard.sendCharacter('test');
    await page.click('#signIn');

    await page.screenshot({path: 'example.png'});

    await browser.close();
})();

On screen example.png you can see info with incorrect password (test).
