Cannot find module 'puppeteer-core/internal/common/Device.js'

Question

Steps to reproduce the problem:

1. I installed pupeteer using npm i puppeteer (using WSL ubuntu)
2. When I try to load pupeteer in a simple test (import puppeteer from "puppeteer";) I get the error Cannot find module 'puppeteer-core/internal/common/Device.js' from 'node_modules/puppeteer/lib/cjs/puppeteer/puppeteer.js'

Any ideas what the issue is?

Pupeteer version: 19.0.0 Node.js version; 16.17.0 npm version: 8.19.2

Script example:

import puppeteer from "puppeteer";

describe("App.js", () => {
  let browser;

  beforeAll(async () => {
    browser = await puppeteer.launch();
  });

  afterAll(() => browser.close());
});

log output:

FAIL src/App.e2e.test.js ● Test suite failed to run

I had a similar issue on MacOS regarding a missing puppeteer-core/internal module except the error message I received was:

Cannot find module 'puppeteer-core/internal/puppeteer-core.js' from 'puppeteer.js'

      at Resolver.resolveModule (node_modules/jest-resolve/build/index.js:169:17)
      at Object.<anonymous> (node_modules/puppeteer/lib/cjs/puppeteer/puppeteer.js:33:14)

I was able to fix it by just rolling back versions of both puppeteer and jest.
