Its not private. If you have workers paid you can use it.

Hey all! Trying to use the "browser-rendering" feature to get the text of a page - the docs demo it at https://developers.cloudflare.com/browser-rendering/get-started/reuse-sessions/

but when I call
```
response.text
```
```
response.text
```
myself (copy/pasting the code from the docs), I get an error saying
```
Buffer is not defined
```
```
Buffer is not defined
```
- deep inside the CF Pupeteer package:

`
✘ [ERROR] Uncaught (in promise) ReferenceError: Buffer is not defined

      at null.<anonymous>
  (file:///Users/josiahbryan/devel/rubber/cfworkers/browser-worker/node_modules/@cloudflare/puppeteer/src/common/HTTPResponse.ts:206:11)
```

Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong...? Does

response.text()` just NOT work?

Usage is like:

const response = await page.goto(url, { waitUntil: 'networkidle2' });
// ...
const text = await response.text(); // <~--- "Buffer is not defined" error thrown here

const response = await page.goto(url, { waitUntil: 'networkidle2' });
// ...
const text = await response.text(); // <~--- "Buffer is not defined" error thrown here

const response = await page.goto(url, { waitUntil: 'networkidle2' });
// ...
const text = await response.text(); // <~--- "Buffer is not defined" error thrown here

const response = await page.goto(url, { waitUntil: 'networkidle2' });

Do I need to monkey-patch

globalThis.buffer

globalThis.buffer

as done above? Like:

import { Buffer } from 'node:buffer';
globalThis.Buffer = Buffer;

import { Buffer } from 'node:buffer';
globalThis.Buffer = Buffer;

Unsmart•4/24/24, 1:49 AM

Not really sure never used browser rendering, not having the compat flag seemed like the obvious culprit from the error message

J

Josiah Bryan•4/24/24, 2:31 AM

Yep - seems obvious, but the RENDERING works fine! Screenshot is gucci and nice. it's the ".text()" thing that is the problem

If end time, closed reason is empty...Does that mean the browser still running? If yes, I thought there was a maximum 2 browser limit per account. So, how I can see 10-15 browser are running as I don't see
