Phantomjs has these two really handy callbacks onLoadStarted and onLoadFinished which allow you to essentially pause execution while the page is lo
Here is my code based on some other answers. In my case, I didn't need to specifically evaluate any other javascript. I just needed to wait for the page to finish loading.
var system = require('system');
if (system.args.length === 1) {
console.log('Try to pass some arguments when invoking this script!');
}
else {
var page = require('webpage').create();
var address = system.args[1];
page.open(address, function(status){
page.onLoadFinished = function(status) {
console.log(page.content);
phantom.exit();
};
});
}
Save the above in a file called "scrape.js" and call it this way:
phantomjs --ssl-protocol=any --ignore-ssl-errors=true scrape.js https://www.example.com
The SSL-related params are added to avoid other issues that I was having with certain HTTPS sites (related to certificate loading issues).
Hope this helps someone!
