No option for ignoring SSL Errors with PlaywrightCrawler?

Just to confirm that there is no option to configure the PlaywrightCrawler to ignore any SSL Errors with HTTPS requests. Now they throw CERT errors.

Hi, unfortunately I didn't find such option in the docs. But you can pass command line argument to the browser to ignore SSL errors (works only on chromium though):

const crawler = new PlaywrightCrawler({
    launchContext: {
        launchOptions: {
            args: ['--ignore-certificate-errors'],
        },
    },
});

const crawler = new PlaywrightCrawler({
    launchContext: {
        launchOptions: {
            args: ['--ignore-certificate-errors'],
        },
    },
});

Thank you for the reply. I think that's indeed what I ended up doing.

It was ignoreSslErrors in sdk v2, but has changed: https://docs.apify.com/sdk/js/docs/upgrading/upgrading-to-v3#ignoresslerrors

Upgrading to v3 | SDK for JavaScript | Apify Documentation

This page summarizes most of the breaking changes between Crawlee (v3) and Apify SDK (v2). Crawlee is the spiritual successor to Apify SDK, so we decided to keep the versioning and release Crawlee as v3.
