Strange, challenges shouldn't impact anything here - is your Worker being invoked still?
#Error 500 when activating Security > Bots > Definitely automated = Managed Challenge.
steady wadi
I can't enable it since my site goes down and its a high traffic site
But the script just handles locale redirects when entering domain.com
steady wadi
@elfin cove seems like for some reason the Bots Security has a conflict with this worker script.
Here you have the logs of the 500 error:
elfin cove
Looks like your app isn't logging what the error is
though... don't see any catches in your code, so this seems to be from upstream
steady wadi
yeah, that should not happen
Also not sure why activating the bot protetion causes ANY interference with the worker.
I thought that maybe the Challange tries to load some scripts that the scripts are redirected by my worker or something like that
elfin cove
Yeah it's weird...
steady wadi
Do you know anyone at cloudflare that could assist me?
elfin cove
me but i need data to work with :p
elfin cove
Feel free to email me yeah - walshy@
steady wadi
@elfin cove Sent! Thanks
elfin cove
Ok can confirm it comes from the subrequest, unfortunately I'm unable to repro on my own zone.
Could you re-add the rule but require some query param or special path?
steady wadi
Can I activate Bots only on specific routes?
I can activate it generally if you want for 1-2 minutes
elfin cove
yeah you should be able to do a path = xx in your security rule
steady wadi
Weird. It works the WAF rule, but not if I activate it generally in "Security > Bots"
Changing the "Allow" here returns 500 Error. Creating a rule in WAF does not
elfin cove
hmm interesting
elfin cove
I can activate it generally if you want for 1-2 minutes
yeah if you can do this quick i can grab a trace on our side
elfin cove
Ready
steady wadi
ok, let me know once you have it to revert
steady wadi
done! thanks
elfin cove
ok, it looks like this comes from the backend Pages project, there's a Function on this project which seems to throw that 500 due to being challenged on a subrequest
steady wadi
hmm ok
Do I have more information to debug? The challange work in my other AstroJS project
elfin cove
I'd recommend taking a look at the Function logs and see if that Worker throws the error into the log
?pages-logs

If you're looking to tail a Pages Function you can do so in the UI here: https://dash.cloudflare.com?to=/:account/pages/view/:pages-project/:pages-deployment/functions
or with Wrangler: wrangler pages deployment tail [deploymentId/url]
steady wadi
Got it. I have some error log at least now
Looks like @astrojs-ssr-adapter
Weird. I will look further
ahhhhh
I know the problem 😂
I have an api.domain.com and seems that the Bot settings is also making that API a challange, then returning a non valid JSON making the whole app fail
elfin cove
haha yeah that'll do it, yeah this subrequest is being challenged
since ya know, workers are bots 
steady wadi
yeah
didn't think about this
the Bot settings apply to the whole domain
so subdomains too
elfin cove
Yeah, if you implement it as a rule instead of the toggle - that would let you add in an exclusion clause for it
steady wadi
Thanks for your help!
