How can I pass context to createNewSession ?

I want to use existing crawler setting (JSON/ cherioo ) upon creating new session, signing in / signing up user there while associating cookies, token with the session. Currently I put these new session creation conditionally inside preNavigation hook (context is passed as arg there), but not in createNewSession

This to give better DX when scraping protected websites where we need to: - sign in - maintain browser history - maintain cookies and token - 1 proxy, 1 auth per session

Hey, information like cookies/tokens becomes available after you visit the site, so you can update the information stored in the session in the request handler once it's accessible
