casperjs

It's common to have multiple then methods when working with CasperJS. The following is an example: casper.then(function(){ var a = "test"; // ... }) casper.then(function(){ // how to use the variable a in the first "then" }) My question is, what's the common way to pass values from former then s to following then s? For the aforementioned example, how to use a in the second then ? There are many way, but the easiest would be to use global variables. If you don't want to clutter your scripts with global variables (which should not be of the same concern as global variables in the browser,

I have a simple goal: load webpages with either phantom.js (out of the box) or casper.js (nice and easier) but using proxy and rotate it from a list if current one is bad (i.e. webpage loads fail or something like that). I know casper.js has --proxy param but it dictates the user to specify only ONE proxy and use it during runtime. Question #1 is: how to rotate proxy on the fly programmatically? I did some research and found this node-requester but it's not integrated with casper.js . I tried to extract out just the proxy feature in the code but didn't really understand how it works in the

Well , I would like to know how to get back the information of a test failed in jenkins. Here the result of my folder (fr) (it displays 22 min. but in parallel it's 3min) : Here the description of the test failed -jenkins- : Here the description of the test failed -casper- : So my problem is jenkins displays only the message of the test failed, and I would like to have also useful information as line and code (in fact there is the console output but it's not convenient-> I've changed my mine, it is, see xUnit with Jenkins: how to display colors in the Build Console Output? , but I still want

I am trying to click a 'next' button N number of times and grab the page source each time. I understand that I can run an arbitrary function on the remote website, so instead of click() I just use the remote function nextPage() How do I run the following, an arbitrary number of times: var casper = require('casper').create(); casper.start('http://www.example.com', function() { this.echo(this.getHTML()); this.echo('-------------------------'); var numTimes = 4, count = 2; casper.repeat(numTimes, function() { this.thenEvaluate(function() { nextPage(++count); }); this.then(function() { this.echo

I am just curious how CasperJS handles events with regards to the call stack. Let's say we have some code: casper.on('foo', function() { this.wait(60000); this.echo('foo'); }); casper.start('http://www.stackoverflow.com', function() { this.echo('start'); this.emit('foo'); }); casper.then(function() { this.echo('done'); }); casper.run(); I know that then() will wait check against 3 flags : pendingWait, loadInProgress, and navigationRequested. Printing out the call stack shows the emit call to be in the function start(), so will start() not be considered finished until the event is finished? I.e
