Puppeteer: Request Interception is not enabled!

continue/abort/respond is called while request interception is disabled.

Error message

Request Interception is not enabled!

How this error happens

Observing a request does not pause it. Calling continue, abort or respond requires interception to have been enabled before that request starts.

The snippets use an open Chrome/CDP page named page.

const [request] = await Promise.all([
    page.waitForRequest(() => true),
    page.goto("https://example.com/"),
]);

await request.continue();

How to fix

Enable interception before navigation, then resolve each paused request.

await page.setRequestInterception(
    true
);

page.on("request", async (request) => {
    if (request.isInterceptResolutionHandled()) {
        return;
    }

    await request.continue();
});

await page.goto(
    "https://example.com/"
);

Things to keep in mind

A listener that only reads request details does not need interception. Enabling it without resolving requests will stall the page.
