I'm attempting to use PhantomJS, and I've installed it via NPM. I can't seem to run any of the of the examples, in fact I can't even run:
var page = require('webpage').create();
I get the error:
Error: Cannot find module 'webpage'
Is there anything i'm missing? I'm using a few other modules that I've installed via NPM in the same directory with no issues
PhantomJS is not for Node.js. You are likely running the examples through node binary.
Read the Getting Started documentation carefully and you'll see that every single PhantomJS example need to be invoked like:
phantomjs hello.js
Note that there is a bridge between Node.js and PhantomJS. In that case, you need to follow the given examples for that particular bridge (there are a few different ones).
You can use something like this:
var page = new WebPage();
Example of code :
var page = new WebPage();
page.open('http://example.com', function(status) {
console.log("Status: " + status);
if(status === "success") {
page.render('example.png');
}
phantom.exit();
});
ls node_modulesis the module there?npm listandnpm list -gto see what is locally or globally installed
