Checking email with CasperJS or PhantomJS

I'm looking to use CasperJS/PhantomJS to automate the testing of a project that extensively uses email as part of its process but I keep running into issues when I need check the content of emails in an automated way.

These tools are very capable of crawling through the HTTP version of many email services, but maintaining tests to keep up with UI changes made to external services is not something I want to do.

Do CasperJS or PhantomJS have the ability to use IMAP or POP3 to retrieve mail, or is there a more common solution that is generally implemented?

Solution

  • You can use any nodejs module with Casper:

    "Like PhantomJS, CasperJS allows using nodejs modules installed through npm."

    So you just need to check the npm repo and test which lib suits you.
