How to use puppeteer inside dependencies?

I am creating a dependancy to generate PDF on nestjs, to do it I am using puppeteer.

When I try to use puppeteer inside the dependancy I get an error:

Error: Run `npm install` to download the correct Chromium revision (1056772).

But when I do it from the project and not the dependancy there is no error. It only happen when I use puppeteer from the dependancy, but it's launched from the same project.

First I generated the PDF inside a nestjs project and it worked fine.

Then I moved the code to my library inside a service but then there is the error.

I tried to run the following command to install chromium

node node_modules/puppeteer/install.js

But nothing change and here is the result of the command:

Chromium is already in C:\Users\Greg.cache\puppeteer\chrome\win64-1069273; skipping download.

I also tried to delete the node modules and reinstall it but no change.

The package.json of the dependancy:

{
  "name": "@gboutte/nestjs-pdf",
  "version": "0.0.3",
  "description": "This package provide a service to render PDF from html string or from handlebars tempaltes for nestjs.",

I resolved the issue by updating my local nodejs and I changed the @types/node dependency of both project to be the same.

"@types/node": "^18.0.0",

I found out that it was this problem by trying to install the library with github instead of locally.

Before I used npm install ../directory-to-my-lib, then I used npm install <url to the github repo>.

The difference is that using github npm gave me an error saying that both version of @types/node were different, I don't know why I did not have this error using the other command.

Now that I fixed the version it works with all installation methods (npm package / github / locally).
