How to set a custom id for a new entry?

[srajiang]

👋 I'm using the plain client, and getting the following error:

Invalid value "undefined" for header "X-Contentful-Content-Type"

when attempting to use entry.createWithId. I think I'm probably just trying to use this method the wrong way, but I can't seem to the find the equivalent of this for the plain client. Here's my code:

// set up plain scoped client 
const client = contentful.createClient({
  accessToken: process.env.CONTENTFUL_API_KEY
},
{
  type: 'plain',
  defaults: {
    spaceId: process.env.CONTENTFUL_SPACE_ID,
    environmentId: process.env.CONTENTFUL_ENV_ID,
  },
});

let res = await client.entry.createWithId('page', refId, { 
            fields: {
              source: `https://github.com/${process.env.REPOSITORY}/blob/main/${path}`,
              locale: frontMatter['lang'],
              markdown: fContent,
            }
          })

Would love to be pointed in the right direction of documentation for the plain client as well if possible.

I switched to using the regular client, and now it appears the X-Contentful-Content-Type header is correctly being set. However, when trying to use environment.createEntryWithId I am getting a 404.

I'm trying to create brand new entry and specify the ID. Am I using this incorrectly? This is my error message:

Here is my code:

client.getSpace(spaceId)
          .then((space) => space.getEnvironment(envId))
          .then((environment) => environment.createEntry('page', {
            fields: {

        }))
