• [x] I tried using the @types/pupetteer package and had problems.

@Shoizz Please post more information than just a stack trace which is nowhere near enough to spot the issue. How does the code that calls puppeteer look like?

@marvinhagemeister My bad, sorry.

With esModuleInterop set to true, you should just use import puppeteer from 'puppeteer' iirc.

@SimonSchick Thanks! Closing this one.
