How To Use Pupeteer To Get The Value Of A Hidden Input Tag 

import puppeteer from 'puppeteer'

async function scrapeProduct(url) {
    const browser = await puppeteer.launch()
    const page = await browser.newPage()
    await page.goto(url)

    const element = await page.waitForSelector('input[type="hidden"][name="abuseID"]', {
        hidden: true,
        timeout: 15000
    })

    const abuseID = await page.evaluate(element => element.value, element)

    console.log(abuseID)
}

scrapeProduct('https://steamcommunity.com/id/lupusRe')

I don't know where I am going wrong but I am getting an error of

file:///C:/Users/charl/Desktop/Code/abg/steam-search/node_modules/puppeteer/lib/esm/puppeteer/common/ExecutionContext.js:282
        throw new Error('Evaluation failed: ' + getExceptionMessage(exceptionDetails));
              ^

Error: Evaluation failed: TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'value')

    at async scrapeProduct (file:///C:/Users/charl/Desktop/Code/abg/steam-search/test.js:13:21)

My goal is to be able to get the steam ID in the below tag <input type="hidden" name="abuseID" value="76561198036553525>"

I am open to using other things beside puppeteer but its just the main thing that I have been using for web scraping.

This is on the official steam community website if that matters.

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? [closed]

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? public fucntion __construct(Application $app, $Router $roouter) { } I have read the documentation and some online tutorial but I can find any clear explanation. I am learning Laravel and I am wondering where does this kernel constructor receives its arguments from. "POSTMOTERM" CLARIFICATION: Here is more clarity.I have checked the boostrap/app.php and it is only used for boostrapping the interfaces into the container class. What is not clear to me is where and how the Kernel class is instatiated and the arguments passed to the object calling the constructor.Something similar to; obj = new kernel(arg1,arg2) or, is the framework using some magic functions somewhere? Special gratitude to those who burn their eyeballs and brain cells on this trivia before it goes into a full blown menopause alias "MARKED AS DUPLICATE". To some of the itchy-finger keyboard warriors, a.k.a The mods,because I believe in th...
