Casperjs - not able to save cli options while running casper_script via node

Question

I am running casper script via node using child_process execFile function, passing some data cli params.. But when i run the script i couldn't able to store those cli opts into variable for using them..

var casper = require("casper").create();
casper.echo("Casper CLI passed options:");
require("utils").dump(casper.cli.options);
// I want those all dumped data into single variable i.e.,  object but couldn't able to
// var options1 = require("utils").dump(casper.cli.options); 
// var options2 = casper.cli.options; 
casper.exit();

Here is the logs:

['Casper CLI passed opts:\n',
  '{\n    "page": 1,\n    "store": "Hello",\n    "title": "Flex App"\n}]

How can i achieve this?

Answer 1

I've found that i wasn't able to store those cli opts into variables but can get the params values using

casper.cli.get(index)

and use as much i want it to use it (within that script).. this solved my case without storing into variables..

Hope this may help others when they come over here.

Cheers,
