If the function passed to the `worker.evaluate` returns a non-serializable value, then `worker.evaluate` resolves to `undefined`. DevTools Protocol also supports transferring some additional values that are not serializable by `JSON`: `-0`, `NaN`, `Infinity`, `-Infinity`, and bigint literals. Shortcut for `await worker.executionContext()).evaluate(pageFunction, ...args)`. <b>Signature:</b> ```typescript evaluate<ReturnType extends any>(pageFunction: Function | string, ...args: any[]): Promise<ReturnType>; ``` ## Parameters | Parameter | Type | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | pageFunction | Function \| string | Function to be evaluated in the worker context. | | args | any\[\] | Arguments to pass to <code>pageFunction</code>. | <b>Returns:</b> Promise<ReturnType> Promise which resolves to the return value of `pageFunction`.
