Why when I use console.log
in evaluate
, it works:
casper.then(function() {
this.evaluate( function() {
console.log('hello');
});
});
But this doesn't work:
casper.then(function() {
this.evaluate( function() {
setTimeout( function() {console.log('hello');}, 1000);
});
});
Because you're mixing up casperjs and remote page environments. The evaluate
function will execute code within the remote page env, so the console.log
call won't output anything.
If you want to catch remote console.log
calls, listen to the remote.message
event:
casper.on('remote.message', function(msg) {
this.echo('remote message caught: ' + msg);
})
Btw, documentation for events is pretty much exhaustive, as well as the one for evaluate.
