How can I pass variable into an evaluate function?

by

You have to pass the variable as an argument to the pageFunction like this:

const links = await page.evaluate((evalVar) => {

  console.log(evalVar); // 2. should be defined now
  …

}, evalVar); // 1. pass variable as an argument

You can pass in multiple variables by passing more arguments to page.evaluate():

await page.evaluate((a, b c) => { console.log(a, b, c) }, a, b, c)

The arguments must either be serializable as JSON or JSHandles of in-browser objects: https://pptr.dev/#?show=api-pageevaluatepagefunction-args
