Reopen #41960

// even through a double promise.
(async () => {
  const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
  const page = await browser.newPage();
  await page.evaluate(() => Promise.resolve(document.body.innerHTML)).then(s => {
    console.log('body html has length', s.length);
  });
});

Before

page.evaluate() returned a Promise<Promise<string>> ❌

Error in puppeteer

After

It returns a Promise<string> ✔️
