Evaluating JavaScript

Execute JavaScript function in the page:

const href = await page.evaluate(() => document.location.href);

If the result is a Promise or if the function is asynchronous evaluate will automatically wait until it's resolved:

const status = await page.evaluate(async () => {
  const response = await fetch(location.href);
  return response.status;
});

Get object handle and use it in multiple evaluations:

// Create a new array in the page, write a reference to it in
// window.myArray and get a handle to it.
const myArrayHandle = await page.evaluateHandle(() => {
  window.myArray = [1];
  return myArray;
});

// Get current length of the array using the handle.
const length = await page.evaluate(
  (arg) => arg.myArray.length,
  { myArray: myArrayHandle }
);

// Add one more element to the array using the handle
await page.evaluate((arg) => arg.myArray.push(arg.newElement), {
  myArray: myArrayHandle,
  newElement: 2
});

// Get current length of the array using window.myArray reference.
const newLength = await page.evaluate(() => window.myArray.length);

// Release the object when it's no longer needed.
await myArrayHandle.dispose();

Capturing screenshot

Take screenshot of the page's viewport and save it in a png file:

await page.screenshot({path: 'screenshot.png'});

Variations

Capture particular element:

const elementHandle = await page.$('.header');
await elementHandle.screenshot({ path: 'screenshot.png' });

Capture full page screenshot:

await page.screenshot({path: 'screenshot.png', fullPage: true});

Capture screenshot into a Node Buffer.

const buffer = await page.screenshot();
console.log(buffer.toString('base64'));

Page events

You can listen for various events on the page object. Following are just some of the examples of the events you can assert and handle:

"console" - get all console messages from the page

page.on('console', msg => {
  // Handle only errors.
  if (msg.type() !== 'error')
    return;
  console.log(`text: "${msg.text()}"`);
});

"dialog" - handle alert, confirm, prompt

page.on('dialog', dialog => {
  dialog.accept();
});

"popup" - handle popup windows

const [popup] = await Promise.all([
  page.waitForEvent('popup'),
  page.click('#open')
]);

Handling exceptions

Listen uncaught exceptions in the page:

// Log all uncaught errors to the terminal
page.on('pageerror', exception => {
  console.log(`Uncaught exception: "${exception}"`);
});

// Navigate to a page with an exception.
await page.goto('data:text/html,<script>throw new Error("Test")</script>');
