SOLVED: enqueueLinks not working properly

hey, i'm trying to crawl a website, and i use the enqueueLinks() function which is supposedly context-aware.

however, when i call await enqueueLinks() at the bottom of my request handler (i can confirm it is actually IN the request handler), it gives me this error:

enqueueLinks() was called without the required options. You can only do that when you use the `crawlingContext.enqueueLinks()` method in request handlers.

enqueueLinks() was called without the required options. You can only do that when you use the `crawlingContext.enqueueLinks()` method in request handlers.

anyone have any idea what's going on?

UPDATE:

thanks to @shovelandsandbox, i have figured the root of the problem.

when you want to use enqueueLinks() inside a request handler, you have to destructure it, too.

also, make sure that enqueueLinks is not imported!

here's what @shovelandsandbox wrote:

previously, i was running the request handler with just destructured.

again, thank you to @shovelandsandbox for helping me solve this, as this will probably help many others who are likely to face this problem.
