I am quite new to Phantomjs and am starting to getting to know how to use it. However all of the semi advanced tutorials does not cover the thing i want to use Phantomjs for.
Now my question is how would i check if a Javascript is active on the site and if it is working correcly (i.e not throwing erros in the console).
I hope someone is able to point me in the right direction or know how to do this.
you can interact with the open page using the webpage.evaluate method:
var page = require('webpage').create();
page.open('http://m.bing.com', function(status) {
var title = page.evaluate(function(s) {
//what you do here is done in the context of the page
//this console.log will appear in the virtual page console
console.log("test")
//here they are just returning the page title (tag passed as argument)
return document.querySelector(s).innerText;
//you are not required to return anything
}, 'title');
console.log(title);
phantom.exit(); //closes phantom, free memory!
});
in order to see the virtual page console, you have to add a onConsoleMessage callback:
page.onConsoleMessage = function(msg, lineNum, sourceId) {
console.log('CONSOLE: ' + msg + ' (from line #' + lineNum + ' in "' + sourceId + '")');
};
EDIT: by default javascript is executed.
<script> elements? inside evaluate you can do everything you can in a normal browser. how would you get all the scripts in a normal page? I guess something like document.querySelector('script') ;)phantomjs file.js in a terminal :) that error means that document.querySelector(s)returned null, i.e. it did not find s which in this example is the page title
Array.forEach.apply(document.querySelectorAll('script'), [(function(elem){ console.log(elem.getAttribute('src'));}]) Will list all script sources included in the current page.
