Disable 30s timeout on file download.

[Jan Bednář]

Hello, my casper.download() function is killed after 30s. I works well os smaller files, but larger are stopped and size is 0b. Please, how to change this behavior?

Thanks

Hi,

You can change the behavior in your function uses waitFor() or

casper.options.waitTimeout = 1000;

waitFor()

Signature: waitFor(Function testFx[, Function then, Function onTimeout, Number timeout, Object details])

Waits until a function returns true to process any next step.

You can also set a callback on timeout using the onTimeout argument, and set the timeout using the timeout one, in milliseconds. The default timeout is set to 5000ms:

Example:

casper.waitFor(function check() {
    return this.evaluate(function() {
        return document.querySelectorAll('ul.your-list li').length > 2;
    });
}, function then() {    // step to execute when check() is ok
    this.captureSelector('yoursitelist.png', 'ul.your-list');
}, function timeout() { // step to execute if check has failed
    this.echo("I can't haz my screenshot.").exit();
}, 60000); <====== here one minute of timeout


Read the documentation bellow

Hi Rodrigo

Is not .download unaffected by the waitTimeout? I check the source code, there does not seems to be any waiting that was being done. I am currently also facing this problem but I do not think it is 30seconds but I do get 0 byte files every now and then.
