Remix won't build with Puppeteer

[tavoyne]

I'm trying to use Puppeteer to generate PDFs in a loader function, but Remix won't compile.

import puppeteer from "puppeteer";

export const loader: LoaderFunction = async () => {
  console.log(puppeteer);
};

Running remix dev or remix build produces the following errors:

Node version: 16.15.1 (LTS)
Puppeteer version: 14.4.1
Remix version: 1.5.1

Note that everything works fine when the Puppeteer code is moved to a standalone file and executed through node.

Any idea what's going wrong here?

Try to move the puppeteer import to a .server file and import in your routes from there.

YES, that worked.
