[feature] Increase number of browser steps for more complicated websites

Open D4Ci0 opened this issue 1 year ago • 6 comments

Hi,

is there any possibility to increase the number of browser steps for a search? Currently maxed out at 10 steps.

right here for now

Thanks for the reply. I added this variable to the docker container and selected a value of 20. Still, in the Changedetection.io UI I can only select up to 10 browser steps.

Somehow this did not help, see:

max_steps

with: FETCH_WORKERS=20

aaah my mistake, sorry misunderstood your request

Are there any plans to implement that? :)

Someone has a fork that bumps the limit from 10 -> 30

An acceptable PR would probably require something in the UI to be able to add more steps, but maybe this commit is acceptable enough of a stop-gap

Are there plans to update this limit for more complex flows? It doesn't have to be pretty or even enabled via UI (if a config import can help bypass that limit, that'd work)
