Puppeteer "Error: Evaluation failed: TypeError: Cannot read property 'click' of null"

I'm getting the error from the title for this function:

  it('should change comment status to SOLVED',
    async function() {
      await page.click("#view_replies3");
      await change_comment_status(page, 5, 'SOLVED');
      expect(await page.content())
        .to.include('comm1')
        .to.include('"timeline-comment-status bg-success" name="5"');

      var comment_ids = await page.$$eval('li.timeline-comment',
        elements => elements.map((element) => element.getAttribute('name')));
      var comment_statuses = await page.$$eval(
        'input.custom-control-input',
        elements => elements.map((element) => element.checked)
      );
      expect(comment_ids).to.deep.equal(['1', '3', '5', '7', '6', '4']);
      expect(comment_statuses).to.deep.equal(
        [true, false, true, false, false, false]
      );
  }).timeout(0);

After debugging I have figured out that the problem is in the function "change_comment_status()":

async function change_comment_status(page, comment_id, status) {
  const selector = "input.custom-control-input[name='" +
    comment_id.toString() + "']";
  page.waitForSelector(selector);

  await page.evaluate(selector => {
    let element = document.querySelector(selector);
    element.click();
  }, selector);
}

the variable 'element' is null after the call

• all the elements appear correctly in the page and the page looks like is fully loaded during the test running

Thanks, guys!
