lore@LAPTOP-EOOJ6UJ0:~$ docker ps permission denied while trying to connect to the Docker daemon socket at unix:///var/run/docker.sock: Get "http://%2Fvar%2Frun%2Fdocker.sock/v1.47/containers/json": dial unix /var/run/docker.sock: connect: permission denied
Hello Caravel and thank you for your input!
The preNavigationHooks
option expects a JavaScript array as a string (starting with [
and ending with ]
). The module.exports
part is unnecessary and is causing the compilation error — removing it should resolve the issue in your run.
Additionally, the Actor already applies some fingerprint obfuscation internally. Overwriting properties like the user-agent
string may create inconsistencies and make detection by anti-scraping tools easier.
It's also important to note that preNavigationHooks
run before the browser loads the page. While this is a good time e.g. to modify request headers, handling cookie banners or detecting captchas won't work here since the page content hasn’t loaded yet. You may want to move that logic to postNavigationHooks
.
I'll be closing this issue. Feel free to open a new one if you need further assistance.
