feat(function): let a caller supply the page and keep the context - #948
Merged
Merged
Conversation
A request that runs a Function against a URL loads that URL twice. The HTML fetch navigates it in one context, `evaluate` closes the page as soon as `page.content()` returns, and the Function then creates a second context and navigates the same URL again. The second load is the expensive one: DNS, TLS and whatever the target itself takes. Three additive options, so every default is exactly today's behavior and no existing consumer changes: - `keepPage` on `withPage`/`evaluate` skips the success close, so the caller can keep the loaded page. Errors still close it. - `ownsContext` (default true) guards `destroyContext()`. Set false when the context was handed in and is shared: destroying it would close the pages a sibling task still holds. - `getPage` supplies an already-navigated page. No `goto`, no close, no context created; its owner decides when it dies. The page-close watchdog is what makes `keepPage` safe to expose. `finally` cleared that timer, which was correct while the page always died inside the call. For a retained page the timer stops being a safety net and becomes the only bound, so it now stays armed and the page is still reclaimed at the context timeout if its new owner never closes it. A retry closed its own page in `catch`, so only the last attempt retains. `runWithBrowser` and the new path share `buildRunOpts`/`settle` rather than duplicating the isolate wiring. Tests: 3 in packages/browserless/test/keep-page.js and 3 in packages/function/test/reuse.js, all against a real browser, asserting the open page count around `evaluate` and the `destroyContext` call count. The handover test mutates `document.title` on the page before handing it over, because asserting the fixture's own title would pass even if the function had navigated for itself. Verified all three discriminate by reverting each behavior in turn: `keepPage` fails the retention case, `ownsContext` fails the count, `getPage` fails the marker. Full suites: packages/function 71 pass. packages/browserless has 4 failures that are identical on a clean master (screenshot pixel diffs and `.close() idempotency`); one run showed a fifth, which did not reproduce.

The success path both restarted the timer and told finally not to clear it. Finally now owns that policy: it always ends the in-call watchdog, and a successful handover starts a fresh one. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>
A keepPage success after the caller already received the timeout cleared the in-call watchdog and armed a new one, leaving the page open for another full timeout with nobody holding it. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>
The close watchdog restarted for a retained page is the evaluate timeout, measured from handover, so a later function call has to finish inside that window. A getPage timeout only ends the caller's wait: the snippet and its isolate keep running until the page is closed. Cover that isolate miss with a target id the browser does not have, and drop the goto spy that never saw isolate navigation. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>
…ntext is borrowed Review point: the supplied-page flow skipped retry entirely. It was wrapped in `pTimeout` alone, while the default flow gets its retries inside `withPage`. So the same transient fault failed a Function on one path and recovered on the other. I had assumed retry could not apply to a handed-over page, on the grounds that anything worth retrying had already killed it. That is wrong for the fault that actually shows up here: `buildRunOpts` opens a CDP session and the isolate connects over the websocket endpoint, and losing that race is retryable on the very same page. Three changes: `runWithGivenPage` now retries, on EBRWSRCONTEXTCONNRESET, EPROTOCOL and PAGE_NOT_FOUND. `getPage` is asked again per attempt rather than once, so a caller whose page died with the fault can hand over a live one, and a caller with nothing better can return the same page and let the attempts run out. `pTimeout` wraps the retry loop rather than each attempt, matching `withPage`. `preserveContext` suppressed the retry when it only needed to suppress the context respawn. Every attempt already builds its own page, so a page-level fault is retryable inside the existing context; replacing the context is the only part that closes a borrowed context's sibling pages. Without this, the `ownsContext: false` path lost resilience it never had to lose, and that is the path every browser-backed Function will take. `retry` was dead: destructured out of `...opts` at the top of `createFunction` and never read, so a caller's retry policy was silently discarded. It is now the bound on the supplied-page retry loop. The default path keeps taking its retry count from the context, unchanged. Tests: 2 in packages/function/test/reuse.js (a dead page is asked for again and the second attempt succeeds; attempts stop at `retry` + 1) and 1 in packages/browserless/test/keep-page.js (a `preserveContext` run retries in place and keeps the same browser). Verified all three discriminate by reverting each: dropping `pRetry` fails both function tests, and restoring the `preserveContext` throw fails the third. Suites: packages/function 79 pass. packages/browserless has the same 4 failures as a clean master (screenshot pixel diffs, `.close()` idempotency).

Retry was skipped, you were right. Fixed in 6cd9b91, and chasing it turned up two more in the same area. 1. The supplied-page path had no retry ( My reasoning when I wrote it was that retry could not apply to a handed-over page, since anything worth retrying had already killed it. That is wrong for the fault that actually occurs here: It now retries on 2. 3. const f = ({ retry = 2, ...opts } = {}) => opts
f({ retry: 5, other: 1 }) // { other: 1 }So a caller's retry policy was silently discarded — api passes Tests. Two in
One note on your follow-ups: |
The caller already has the timeout. Another attempt would call getPage again and start a new isolate on a page they may have taken back. The preserveContext test now compares the browser context. The browser process stays the same even when the context is replaced. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>
The window was 500ms, shorter than p-retry's ~1s backoff, so the second attempt had not fired yet when the assertion ran: the test passed with the timeout stop removed and proved nothing. At 2500ms it fails without the stop and passes with it. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Review points from a second pass, all three verified before fixing. `getTargetId` scoped its session inside the `try`, so a failing `Target.getTargetInfo` could never detach it. That matters more on the supplied page than it did before: the lookup failure is retryable, and the page outlives the call, so every attempt stranded a session on a page belonging to someone else. The default path closed its own page, which tore any session down with it. Session is hoisted and detached in a `finally`. `preserveContext` reached `withPage` only because `evaluate` spread the rest of `gotoOpts` into both the navigation options and the withPage options. So it worked by accident, leaked into `page.goto`, and `index.d.ts` declared it on `withPage` alone. It is now pulled out beside `keepPage` and declared on `evaluate`, which api needs: the fetch's own evaluate runs on the shared context too, and a respawn there would close the sibling pages just the same. The README called `retry` the "number of retries on failure", which reads as general. It only bounds the `getPage` path, where there is no context to replace; the default path still takes its count from the context. Tests: 1 in packages/function/test/reuse.js, stubbing `Target.getTargetInfo` to reject and asserting every created session ends detached. `session.detached` is the assertion because `connection()` stays truthy after a detach — verified against puppeteer directly, since the first version of this test used a `?? connection() === undefined` fallback that could have passed for the wrong reason. Verified it discriminates: without the `finally` it fails. Suites: packages/function 81 pass. packages/browserless has the same 4 failures as a clean master (screenshot pixel diffs, `.close()` idempotency).

…ying a dead context Two findings from reviewing this PR against itself. The isolate's page-resolution loop had the same shape as the host bug fixed in 7149a70: the session was scoped inside the `try`, so a failing `Target.getTargetInfo` never detached, and an empty `catch` hid it. Worse here, because the loop walks every page, so one systematic CDP failure stranded a session per page — on pages belonging to the caller, which outlive the call. It compounded with `strictTarget`, whose miss is retryable, so each attempt stranded another batch. The loop is now a named `resolvePage` in the generated source, detaching in a `finally`. Extracting it is what makes the fix testable: the loop ran only inside the isolate, where the host cannot observe the sessions it leaves behind, and the established alternative in this file is asserting on substrings of the generated code. `preserveContext` retried a context fault it could not recover from. Replacing the context is the recovery, and that is exactly what the flag forbids, so EBRWSRCONTEXTCONNRESET re-ran `createPage` against a context that was already gone: three guaranteed failures plus p-retry's backoff before the caller saw the error it would otherwise have had immediately. Measured 3 attempts where 1 is correct. A page-level EPROTOCOL still retries in place, which is the case the flag exists for. Tests: 3 in packages/function/test/template.js driving `resolvePage` with fake pages (match, lookup throws, no match), and 1 in packages/browserless/test/keep-page.js pinning attempts at 1 for a context fault. Both verified to discriminate: restoring the old loop fails the detach case, and dropping the context-fault throw turns 1 attempt into 3. Suites: packages/function 84 pass. packages/browserless has the same 4 failures as a clean master (screenshot pixel diffs, `.close()` idempotency).

Reviewing the generated arguments by running them, not reading them:
SUPPLIED-PAGE KEYS: response,strictTarget,targetId,url
NORMAL-PATH KEYS: device,response,targetId,url
Two problems. `strictTarget` is an internal flag this branch introduced and it
reached customer code, because the template stripped only `_response` and
`pageValues` before spreading the rest into the snippet's argument object;
`targetId` leaked the same way and predates this branch. Both are how the isolate
finds its page, not part of what a snippet is handed, so both are stripped now.
The template reads them from `opts` separately, so nothing else changes.
`device` was present on one path and absent on the other. `goto` builds a
`{ userAgent, viewport }` descriptor for the normal path; a supplied page has no
`goto`, and a caller decorating `evaluate` only holds `(page, response, error)`,
so they cannot produce one without separately knowing which device the navigation
used. A snippet reading `device` therefore changed behavior silently when its
caller switched to `getPage`. Both fields are readable from the page itself, so
the descriptor is derived from it when the caller supplies none, and the argument
surface stops depending on which path ran.
Deriving it needs two guards, both of which a first version got wrong. It runs
after the target check, so a page that was never going to resolve still reports
`PAGE_NOT_FOUND` rather than a failure from probing it. And it checks for
`evaluate`/`viewport` first, because a supplied page need not be a full Puppeteer
page — an existing test hands over a stub, and calling `evaluate` on it turned
`PAGE_NOT_FOUND` into `page.evaluate is not a function`.
Tests: 2 in packages/function/test/reuse.js. One pins the argument surface to
`device,response,url` and asserts both paths agree, which is the probe above made
permanent. One asserts a supplied page with no device still reports a real
userAgent and the page's own viewport width. Both verified to discriminate:
restoring either behavior fails them.
Suites: packages/function 86 pass. packages/browserless has the same 4 failures as
a clean master (screenshot pixel diffs, `.close()` idempotency).

Reviewing the previous commit against the standard it set. `readDevice` swallowed
a failing `page.evaluate` with `pReflect` and still returned
`{ userAgent: undefined, viewport }`, and `page.viewport()` is null on a page with
no viewport set. Either way a snippet received something that reads as a
descriptor but answers `undefined` for a field — the exact failure mode that ruled
out a viewport-only fallback in the first place.
It now returns the descriptor only with both fields, and otherwise nothing, so a
snippet either gets a device it can trust or no `device` key at all.
The README said `getPage` returns `{ page, device, response }` without saying which
parts are optional, which reads as a requirement. It now states that a device is
read off the page when omitted, and that passing one overrides that.
Tests: 1 in packages/function/test/reuse.js, making `page.evaluate` reject and
asserting the snippet's arguments stay `response,url`. Verified it discriminates:
the previous version reports a `device` key holding the half-built object.
Suites: packages/function 87 pass. packages/browserless has the same 4 failures as
a clean master.

Review point, and the errors package proves it: `EBRWSRCONTEXTCONNRESET` is not "the browser context died". `ensureError` assigns it to page-level transients — a closed page, a detached frame, a destroyed execution context, a closed target — all of which a fresh page inside the same context recovers from. The previous commit read the code's name and threw on it under `preserveContext`, so a shared-context run failed on faults the default path retries. That is a regression against the flag's whole purpose, since every browser-backed Function will take that path. Retrying is restored. Replacing the context stays skipped, which is the only part a caller that owns the context cannot afford: that closes the pages it still holds. The test asserting one attempt encoded the wrong behavior and is replaced by one that throws the literal "Execution context was destroyed" message, so it fails against the version this reverts. Verified: packages/browserless/test/keep-page.js 7 pass, and packages/function/test/reuse.js 15 pass as the consumer of the flag. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Review point, reproduced before fixing. The timeout stop lived only in `onFailedAttempt`, which runs after an attempt has already failed. p-retry then waits its backoff before calling `run` again, and the call can time out inside that gap: `run` was already scheduled, so it asked for a page and started an isolate for a caller that had its `EBRWSRTIMEOUT` a second earlier. `run` now checks first, before `getPage()`. The `onFailedAttempt` check stays, so an attempt that fails after the timeout does not schedule another backoff either. The existing test held the first `getPage` until after the timeout, so the failure happened with the flag already set — a different ordering that stayed green through this. The new test fails the first attempt immediately against a closed page with a 400ms timeout, shorter than the ~1s backoff, and asserts one `getPage` call after 1.5s. It fails without the guard. The `ownsContext` comment described a shape that does not work: `getBrowserless` is asked for a browser, not a context, so a shared context is returned from its `createContext`. Set against the default factory the flag leaks a context per call, since `createContext` builds a fresh one nothing then destroys. The README now shows the adapter the tests use, and records that an isolate connected over `browserWSEndpoint` can reach every page on that browser — `strictTarget` picks which page the snippet is handed, not what it can reach — so sharing a context is a trust boundary this package cannot enforce. Verified: packages/function/test/reuse.js 16 pass, packages/browserless/test/keep-page.js 7 pass. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Review point: the example added in 9e8ae2e set options the call ignores. `getPage` and the context-and-navigate path are alternatives — return getPage ? runWithGivenPage(url, fnOpts) : runWithBrowser(url, fnOpts) and `runWithGivenPage` references neither `getBrowserless` nor `ownsContext`. So a page-reuse example passing both showed nothing about either, while the prose above it claimed `getBrowserless` was how the context got handed over on that call. Two examples now. Page reuse passes `getPage` alone. Borrowing a context is its own example on the navigating path, which is the one that calls `createContext()`, and the `browserWSEndpoint` note sits with it since that is where sharing happens. The `getPage` option comment states that it replaces the path, so the two are not read as combinable. Docs only, no code change. `ownsContext`'s "as shown below" now points at the adapter example. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The two `if (isRejected) throw new AbortError()` checks read as duplication. They are one concept, so it is named once as `abortIfTimedOut` and called from both points. Measuring which point carries the property changed what the comment says. Removing the check in `run` fails the backoff test. Removing the one in `onFailedAttempt` fails nothing: after a post-timeout failure p-retry waits its backoff, calls `run`, and the check there aborts before a page is asked for or an isolate starts. So `run` is what enforces it, and `onFailedAttempt` only ends the loop without leaving a backoff timer to expire first. The comment now says that rather than implying both are needed for the same reason. No behavior change: packages/function/test/reuse.js 16 pass, including both timeout orderings. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Simplification pass before merge. Behavior identical, no test changed. `PAGE_NOT_FOUND` was compared by message at two sites, once through `ensureError` and once not. That comparison is now `isPageNotFound`, called with the already-qualified error at the site that needs qualifying, so the string appears once instead of twice. `usePrebuiltSource` took an options object, mutated two fields on it and returned the same object. It is now `withPrebuiltSource` and returns a new one. The argument stays the merged options rather than being computed from `code`, because the check has to see a per-call `code` override that `...fnOpts` applied. The endpoint lookup inside `buildRunOpts` was six lines of defensive accessor checks for one fact, which is now `wsEndpointOf`. A supplied page need not be a full Puppeteer page, so both checks stay; they just live behind a name. The optional chain is equivalent to the previous truthiness guard: a missing browser and a browser without `wsEndpoint` both give undefined. packages/function 88 pass, packages/browserless keep-page 7 pass.

Why
A request that runs a Function against a URL loads that URL twice.
The HTML fetch navigates it in one context.
evaluatecloses its page the momentpage.content()returns. The Function then creates a second context and navigates the same URL again. The second load is the expensive one — DNS, TLS, and whatever the target itself takes, which on a slow site is seconds.So the thing worth reusing is exactly the thing that gets destroyed.
Two separate obstacles, in this package:
withPagealways closes its page on success, so there is no way to hand a loaded page onward.createFunctionalways callsdestroyContext()in itsfinally. A caller that passes a context it shares with other work would have that context torn down underneath them — closing pages those tasks still hold.What
Three additive options. Every default is exactly today's behavior, so no existing consumer changes and the release is safe before anything opts in.
keepPagewithPage/evaluatefalseownsContextcreateFunctiontruefalsemakes thedestroyContext()infinallya noop — the caller owns teardowngetPagecreateFunctiongoto, no close, no context createdThe subtle part
finallyclearedclosePageTimeout:That was right while the page always died inside the call. For a retained page that timer stops being a safety net and becomes its only bound — clearing it would leak the page until the context died. So it now stays armed when the page was retained, and a retained page is still reclaimed at the context timeout if its new owner never closes it.
A retry closes its own page in
catch, so only the last attempt can retain.runWithBrowserand the new path sharebuildRunOpts/settleinstead of duplicating the isolate wiring.How it was tested
Six tests, all against a real browser rather than mocks:
packages/browserless/test/keep-page.js— asserts the open page count aroundevaluate: closed by default, still open withkeepPage, and still closed withkeepPagewhen the function throws.packages/function/test/reuse.js— asserts thedestroyContext()call count is 1 by default and 0 withownsContext: false, and thatgetPageneither navigates nor closes.The handover test mutates
document.titleon the page before handing it over:Asserting the fixture's own title would have passed even if the function had ignored
getPageand navigated for itself — which is what a first version of this test did. The marker makes it decisive.Verified all three discriminate by reverting each behavior in turn:
keepPagefails the retention case,ownsContextfails the count,getPagefails the marker.Full suites:
packages/function71 pass.packages/browserlesshas 4 failures that are identical on a clean master (screenshot pixel diffs and.close() idempotency), baselined by stashing. One run showed a fifth failure that did not reproduce, so I am treating it as a flake rather than claiming it is clean.What this unblocks
The api side can then run a Function on the page the fetch already loaded, removing a whole navigation per browser-backed Function request. That consumer change is deliberately not here — this PR is only the capability, and nothing uses it yet.

Note
Medium Risk
Changes page/context teardown, retry, and timeout semantics in core browser automation paths; mistakes could leak pages or strand isolates, though defaults are unchanged and behavior is heavily tested.
Overview
Adds opt-in lifecycle controls so callers can reuse an already-loaded page and shared browser contexts instead of always tearing them down after each run.
browserless:evaluate/withPageacceptkeepPage(leave the page open on success and restart the close watchdog from handover; still close on error, timeout, or rejected call) andpreserveContext(retry transient page/protocol faults with a fresh page in the same context instead of replacing the context).@browserless/function:getPageruns snippets against a caller-supplied, already-navigated page—nogoto, no auto-close, strict CDP target matching, retries/timeouts on that path.ownsContext: falseskipsdestroyContext()and passespreserveContextintowithPageso sibling pages survive retryable errors. SharedbuildRunOpts/ isolate wiring; CDP sessions detach infinallyto avoid leaks on reused pages.Defaults match prior behavior. Docs and broad AVA coverage (
