Is there a way to use PhantomJS in Python?

Question

I want to use PhantomJS in Python. I googled this problem but couldn\'t find proper solutions.

I find os.popen() may be a good choice. But I couldn\'t

Answer 1

Here's how I test javascript using PhantomJS and Django:

mobile/test_no_js_errors.js:

var page = require('webpage').create(),
    system = require('system'),
    url = system.args[1],
    status_code;

page.onError = function (msg, trace) {
    console.log(msg);
    trace.forEach(function(item) {
        console.log('  ', item.file, ':', item.line);
    });
};

page.onResourceReceived = function(resource) {
    if (resource.url == url) {
        status_code = resource.status;
    }
};

page.open(url, function (status) {
    if (status == "fail" || status_code != 200) {
        console.log("Error: " + status_code + " for url: " + url);
        phantom.exit(1);
    }
    phantom.exit(0);
});

mobile/tests.py:

import subprocess
from django.test import LiveServerTestCase

class MobileTest(LiveServerTestCase):
    def test_mobile_js(self):
        args = ["phantomjs", "mobile/test_no_js_errors.js", self.live_server_url]
        result = subprocess.check_output(args)
        self.assertEqual(result, "")  # No result means no error

Run tests:

manage.py test mobile
