console.log doesn't work in CasperJS' evaluate with setTimeout

Question

Why when I use console.log in evaluate, it works:

casper.then(function() {
  this.evaluate( function() {
    console.log(\'hello\')         


        

Answer 1

Building on @odigity's answer, this makes casperjs die with a more familiar error/stacktrace:

var util = require('util');

casper.on('page.error', function exitWithError(msg, stack) {
    stack = stack.reduce(function (accum, frame) {
        return accum + util.format('\tat %s (%s:%d)\n',
            frame.function || '',
            frame.file,
            frame.line
        );
    }, '');
    this.die(['Client-side error', msg, stack].join('\n'), 1);
});
