how to set payload in cheerio crawler preNavigationHooks

doing it like this:

Plain Text

preNavigationHooks:[async (crawlingContext, gotOptions) => {
         const { request } = crawlingContext;
             request.payload = `.......`;
 }

does not work, error: ReferenceError: page is not defined
also when I want to set headers, should I use gotOptions.headers= or request.headers=
what is the difference?

Looks like a bug, will tell team to check

Need to see full error stack since under Cheerio page not supposed to be used. I guess you might be setting payload for GET request and crawler gone wild.

As for headers - I using request.headers in one of the actors, works fine

so it was bug in my code 🤦‍♂️ it has nothing to do with puppeteer page
I had payload like this .....${page} but it was too long and way out of the screen to notice it
