casperjs doesn't work as expected on windows machine

Question

I have a casperjs script which gives the desired result when I run on a linux server, but when I run the same from my laptop, it doesn\'t work.

How should I debug? L

Answer 1

Add a resource.error event handler:

casper.on("resource.error", function(resourceError){
    console.log('Unable to load resource (#' + resourceError.id + 'URL:' + resourceError.url + ')');
    console.log('Error code: ' + resourceError.errorCode + '. Description: ' + resourceError.errorString);
});

It seems, this is a known PhantomJS bug (Fixed in 2.5 beta).
You can download PhantomJS 2.5 beta from this page.

You need to add the following callbacks, to catch all the errors:

casper
.on("error", function(msg){ this.echo("error: " + msg, "ERROR") })
.on("page.error", function(msg, trace){ this.echo("Page Error: " + msg, "ERROR") })
.on("remote.message", function(msg){ this.echo("Info: " + msg, "INFO") });
