debugging all possible issues since Puppeteer touches many distinct components
of a browser such as network requests and Web APIs. On a high note, Puppeteer
provides <em>several</em> methods for debugging which hopefully does cover all possible
issues.</p><h2 class="anchor anchorWithStickyNavbar_LWe7" id="background">Background<a href="#background" class="hash-link" aria-label="Direct link to Background" title="Direct link to Background"></a></h2><p>In general, there are two possible sources of an issue: Code running on Node.js
(which we call <em>server code</em>), and
<a href="/next/api/puppeteer.page.evaluate">code running in the browser</a>
(which we call <em>client code</em>). There is also a third possible source being the
browser itself (which we call <em>internal code</em>), but if you suspect this is the
source <strong>after attempting the methods below</strong>, we suggest
<a href="https://github.com/puppeteer/puppeteer/issues" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">searching existing issues</a>
before
<a href="https://github.com/puppeteer/puppeteer/issues/new/choose" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">filing an issue</a>.</p><h2 class="anchor anchorWithStickyNavbar_LWe7" id="debugging-methods-for-all-situations">Debugging methods for all situations<a href="#debugging-methods-for-all-situations" class="hash-link" aria-label="Direct link to Debugging methods for all situations" title="Direct link to Debugging methods for all situations"></a></h2><p>These methods can be used to debug any situation.

quick sanity check before diving into more complex methods.</p><h3 class="anchor anchorWithStickyNavbar_LWe7" id="turn-off-headless">Turn off <a href="/next/api/puppeteer.browserlaunchargumentoptions"><code>headless</code></a><a href="#turn-off-headless" class="hash-link" aria-label="Direct link to turn-off-headless" title="Direct link to turn-off-headless"></a></h3><p>Sometimes it&#x27;s useful to see what the browser is displaying.
