failed: Runtime.callFunctionOn timed out error

I expect puppeteer to wait until the "Captions (c)" aria-label appears on the browser.

instead I got an error

Minimal, reproducible example

import puppeteer from "puppeteer";

(async () => {
    await puppeteer.launch({
        headless: false,
        executablePath: "C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/Chrome/Application/chrome.exe",
    }).then(async browser => {
        const page = await browser.newPage();
        await page.setDefaultTimeout(0);
        await page.setViewport({ width: 1280, height: 720 })
        await page.goto(
            'https://player.twitch.tv/?parent=twitch.tv&video=1774449542&autoplay=true',
            { waitUntil: ["networkidle2", "domcontentloaded"] }
        );
        await page.waitForSelector(
            'aria/Captions (c)',
            { timeout: 0 }
        );
    })
})();

This is the same issue as #9927

This issue was not reproducible. Please check that your example runs locally and the following:

• Ensure the script does not rely on dependencies outside of puppeteer and puppeteer-core.
• Ensure the error string is just the error message.

  • Bad:

    Error: something went wrong
      at Object.<anonymous> (/Users/username/repository/script.js:2:1)
      at Module._compile (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1159:14)
      at Module._extensions..js (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1213:10)
      at Module.load (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1037:32)
      at Module._load (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:878:12)
      at Function.executeUserEntryPoint [as runMain] (node:internal/modules/run_main:81:12)
      at node:internal/main/run_main_module:23:47

  • Good: Error: something went wrong.

• Ensure your configuration file (if applicable) is valid.
• If the issue is flaky (does not reproduce all the time), make sure 'Flaky' is checked.
• If the issue is not expected to error, make sure to write 'no error'.

Once the above checks are satisfied, please edit your issue with the changes and we will
try to reproduce the bug again.

I see, I found a way to temporarily solve my issue.

// use a while loop to increase timeout because timeout not working properly (https://github.com/puppeteer/puppeteer/issues/9927)
let element;
while (!element) {
    try {
        element = await page.waitForSelector('aria/Captions (c)');
        await element?.click();
    } catch (error) {
        console.log(error);
    }
}

You can also set the protocolTimeout: 0 or protocolTimeout: sufficientlyHighValue in the launch function.

Both solutions are not working for me. The limit seems to be 30000ms in every case.

import puppeteer from "puppeteer";

(async () => {
    await puppeteer.launch({
        headless: false,
        executablePath: "C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/Chrome/Application/chrome.exe",
        protocolTimeout: 0,
    }).then(async browser => {
        const page = await browser.newPage();
        await page.setDefaultTimeout(0);
        await page.setViewport({ width: 1280, height: 720 })
        await page.goto(
            'https://player.twitch.tv/?parent=twitch.tv&video=1774449542&autoplay=true',
            { waitUntil: ["networkidle2", "domcontentloaded"] }
        );
        await page.waitForSelector(
            'aria/Captions (c)',
            { timeout: 0 }
        );
    })
})();

works for me (meaning I get no timeout errors).

I have maybe done something wrong. Indeed It's working thanks :)
