Max Size for page.evaluate(fn,args) parameters
I am invoking page.evaluate with a function, and am passing in a very large string.
This is working great
const tocOutside = await page.evaluate(async (base64Buffer) => {
...
}, base64Buffer);But in a few cases, I am getting:
Error: page.evaluate: Execution context was destroyed, most likely because of a navigation.It seems to be related to the payload size.
Is there a maximum size to the passed parameter, in my case it seem to fail at about 126MB. debug:node:Buffer (94633599 bytes) debug:node:base64Buffer (126178132 bytes)
This thread is trying to answer question "What is the maximum size of a string parameter that can be passed to the `page.evaluate(fn,stringArg)` function?"
Answering my own question:
The maximum length of a string parameter to page.evaluate(fn,stringArg) is 100MiB
