Timer on JS

[Tom Dalton]

Hey everyone,

I've a problem with phantom js.

First, i wanted to capture any website using php or js, so i choosed phantomjs.

This is my script :

var page = require('webpage').create();

page.viewportSize = { width: 1920, height: 1080 };

page.open('http://example.com/', function() {

  page.render('example.png');

  phantom.exit();

});

It work well but there is some websites which use ads or component which take time to show.

I'd like to add a timer like that :

open example.com

wait 5 seconds for showing all website component

capture the website with all component loaded

instead of :

open example.com

capture the website without component loaded.

It's really anonnoying,

so i would be really grateful for the one who can make a script with a timer.

Thanks everyone

Tom (Sorry for my bad english)

you have several options:

1. knysa: https://github.com/pahakia/knysa
    kflow.sleep(5000);
2. use casper.waitFor(): http://docs.casperjs.org/en/latest/modules/casper.html#waitfor

Hey Bo Zou,

Really thank for those links, i'm really grateful to you.

I've another question.

I'd like to know if there's a phantomjs function for clearing cache, cookies and other website thing, or it's automaticaly did before screen capture.

Thanks mate,

Good Afternoon

Hey,

I have just tested knysa and i've found some problem.

First,

I downloaded the knysa folder from github to my home folder.

I've make this alias:

alias knysa="sh /home/knysa-master/knysa.sh" in ubuntu.

I went to the folder which contains the script to run and added this line :

var page = require('webpage').create();

page.viewportSize = { width: 1920, height: 1080 };

page.open('http://test.com/', function() {

  kflow.sleep(5000);

  page.render('test.png');

  phantom.exit();

});

after i ran this command :

knysa test.js

It didn't show error and made file called test.js.js.

It also didn't solve my problem because it took a screen capture directly without wait 5 seconds.

So if you can help me, i'm new from coding.

Thanks really

Tom

try this:

kflow.open('http://test.com/');
kflow.sleep(5000);
kflow.render("test.png");

sorry, I don't know, you'll need to check phantomjs doc.
