SVG element causes DOM.getBoxModel error

[Jamesernator]

I've been having issues trying to hover an svg element using elementHandle.hover(), now using page.evaluate(element => element.getBoundingClientRect(), elementHandle) works so I'm not sure why it throws an error for .hover().

Here's a minimal example that causes it:

puppeteer-svg-hover-test.zip

I tried the latest version in the repository and now the error has changed to Error: Node is not visible which isn't the case either.

Thanks @Jamesernator, this is a bug.

I have similar problem but related to click on button where page got reloaded because of some AJAX call. I think this can be related as both methods are calling function visibleCenter() I get that stacktrace:

I'm not sure if this helps but when I use the chrome-devtools protocol "DOM.getNodeForLocation" on a SVG element, it will return an error. So might this be related?

Same With Me , Try to click con but DOM.getBoxModel still return undefined, I just test on latest Chrome Browser and got the same result { width: auto, height: auto} . But it still rendered and visible

I solved a problem that looks 99% the same as here in two ways:

• putting an I.wait(3) between the appearance of the item and the click on it
• using a I.retry({ times:3, ...}).click(sel) instead of an I.click(...)
