Can't mark request as failed

Hello,
I am trying to mark a request as failed using crawlee + playwright.

I tried multiple things, from throwing exceptions to use

request.pushErrorMessage()

request.pushErrorMessage()

method. The

session.retire()

session.retire()

is working for marking the session as bad, but not for mark the request as failed:

await session.retire();
await request.pushErrorMessage(new Error("Captcha detected"));
return;

await session.retire();
await request.pushErrorMessage(new Error("Captcha detected"));
return;

With the previous code, I get

Terminal status message: Finished! Total 1 requests: 1 succeeded, 0 failed.

Terminal status message: Finished! Total 1 requests: 1 succeeded, 0 failed.

When I expect it to fail and retry

Throwing directly an exception also does not work

new Error("Captcha detected")

new Error("Captcha detected")

There is a similar issue solved using Apify actor, but in this case I do not have access to it as I am using vanila Crawlee
