Writing a journey for testing elements visible only for google bot. I want to set the javaScriptEnabled: false in the playwrightOptions in the monitor.use() but it doesn't work.

Hey @Alex_Salgado-Elastic, thank you! Yeah sure!  
So in the monitor.use() i try to pass the javaScriptEnabled:false to playwrightOptions, but it doesn't disable javaScript when i run the test.

Hi @Robinhlgrsn,

Have you tried setting `javaScriptEnabled: false` in `synthetics.config.ts` file? Some of the setup options will not be applied correctly during monitor run time.

Yes this works in the `synthetics.config.ts` but can i config this for specific journey's since some tests need javascript enabled?

@Robinhlgrsn `monitor.use` doesn't work locally but it will work when it's pushed to kibana.
