Hello, I'm not the best programmer, so I may be making obvious mistake somewhere, but I'm trying to generate an excel report with your npm package. Unfortunately, no xlsx is being generated. The same goes for csv. The only thing that generates is the corresponding html and json. Here are pictures.

I'm trying to generate the Excel file that is generated by the Chrome extension, except programmatically.

@Adr0it Just for clarity, you're running in plain Node and not within a test framework like jest, mocha, cucumber, ....?

Yes, regular NodeJS in VS Code.

Ok, I see the issue. When I passed a "Page" object into the method using Puppeteer, it did generate an Excel file. However, I was using axios package to just get html content as a string or something, and it wasn't working, and I didn't know why.
