var defaultValue =0;
setTimeout(function() {
page.render('screenshot1.jpg', { format: 'jpg', quality: 90 });
page.close();
slimer.exit()
// Do something after 5 seconds

In my electron/reactjs app, i'm trying to open a terminal and launch somes commands.
My code looks like this :
const terminal = 'x-terminal-emulator';
const { spawn } = require('child_process');
spawn(terminal);
My terminal opens but i don't know how to launch commands in this terminal like 'cd /my/custom/path && ls'
Can someone help me please ? :)
Node.js child_process.spawn command have an option to specify the shell you want to use.
So I would use the opposite logic and launch directly the command within a particular shell (for exemple bash):
const { spawn } = require('child_process');
const terminal = '/bin/bash';
let cmd = 'echo $SHELL';
spawn(cmd, { shell: terminal })
.stdout.on('data', (data) => {
console.log(`stdout: ${data}`); //-> stdout: /bin/bash
});
Having some trouble using the webpage API in a phantomJS script I'm using for load testing.
I'm running the script in a child process, like so:
var path = require('path');
var childProcess = require('child_process');
var binPath = require('phantomjs').path;
var childArgs = [
path.join(__dirname, 'phantom-script.js')
];
var spawn = childProcess.spawn;
var child = spawn(binPath, childArgs);
child.stdout.on('data', function(data) {
const buf = Buffer.from(data);
console.log('stdout:', buf.toString());
});
child.stderr.on('data', function(data) {
const buf = Buffer.from(data);
console.log('stderr:', buf.toString());
});
And my simple phantomJS script:
var webPage = require('webpage');
var page = webPage.create();
page.onConsoleMessage = function (msg) {
console.log(msg);
};
page.onResourceError = function(resourceError) {
console.log(resourceError.errorCode + ':', resourceError.errorString);
};
function runScript() {
page.open('<webpage-url>', function(status) {
console.log('Status:', status);
if (status === 'success') {
page.evaluate(function() {
console.log('Title:', document.title);
});
}
});
}
runScript();
So to start the phantomJS script, if both of these files are in the test/ directory, and my current directory is up one from that: node test/child-process.js, which then spawns the child process and runs my phantomJS script.
So, this gets the script to run, but it always fails in page.open because of a resource error. Replacing my url with Google's, or really any website, works fine.
The error logged in onResourceError is stdout: 202: Cannot open file:///Users/<user>/path/to/local/current/directory: Path is a directory.
This is always the path from which I'm running this script. If I move down a directory into test/ and run it with node child-process.js, the error instead logs that directory.
As a headless browser, I assumed phantomJS would interface with a webpage like any client would, just without rendering the template--what does the current directory from which the script was run have anything to do with opening the webpage? Why would it be trying to load resources from my local directory when the webpage URL points to a public website, hosted at the IP and PORT specified in the first argument of page.open (e.g. xx.xxx.xx.xx:PORT)?
I'm at a bit of a loss here. The phantomJS path and all that is correct, since it runs the script fine. I just don't understand why page.open would attempt to open the directory from which the script was called--what does that have to do with its function, which is to open the URL and load it to the page?
Not sure if this is even worthy of answering--as opposed to just deleting.
I figured it out when I manually typed in the argument www.google.com, instead of copy/pasting from the browser, and and I got this as the path in the error: file:///Users/<user>/path/to/local/current/directory/www.google.com.
Now I know why I couldn't find a SO question for it. A stupid error on my part at any rate, it would've been a quick debug if the error had appended the IP address and PORT (my "url") to the end of the file path like it did for www.google.com, a clear indicator that it's not pinging a URL.
TL;DR: It's a URL, you need http(s)://...
I'm trying to change the directory of terminal using with Node.js program but not able to achieve it. Script is run as node app.js dir_name so first I'm creating the directory and then trying to change into that directory using cd command. Directory is created but the directory for terminal is not changed.
#!/usr/bin/env node
var platform = process.platform;
var figlet = require('figlet');
var chalk = require('chalk');
if(process.argv.length < 3){
console.log(
chalk.green(
figlet.textSync('mdcd', { horizontalLayout: 'full' })
)
);
console.log(chalk.red("Please provide a directory name"));
}else{
if(platform.includes("win")){
//console.log("Its Windows");
}else {
var exec = require('child_process').exec;
var command_1 = "mkdir "+process.argv[2];
var command_2 = "cd "+process.cwd()+"/"+process.argv[2];
exec(command_1, function (error, stdout, stderr) {
if(error){
console.log("Something bad happened"+error);
}else {
exec(command_2, function (error, stdout, stderr) {
if(error){
console.log("Something bad happened"+error);
}
});
}
});
}
}
command prompt directory from Node.js script
You cannot change the command prompt directory. Basically you have the process tree:
cmd / term
| -> NodeJs
You shouldn't change the working dir for cmd. However there are command you can execute to change the working dir of any process e.g. https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/282009

You can however change the the working dir for the nodejs process (which is what I suspect you want to do) using process.chdir https://nodejs.org/api/process.html#process_process_chdir_directory
I'm trying to create a Node script that will ask the user a few questions, save the input and using the answers run a mvn archetype:generate command to install their environment.
I got as far to where I get the Maven command running. But when Maven asks for user input for values such as groupId and `` I can enter the values, give an [enter] and that's where it stops.
It doesn't take input and process them. All it does is display it, as the CLI does, but doesn't accept them.
Here's a snippet of code with the values for user input pre-filled:
var spawn = require('child_process').spawn;
var answerCollection = {
"name": "nameOfMyArchetype", //answer of inquiry
"version": "1.2.3.4" //answer of inquiry
};
var cmd = "mvn";
var args = [
"archetype:generate",
"-DarchetypeArtifactId=" + answerCollection.name,
"-DarchetypeGroupId=com.backbase.expert.tools",
"-DarchetypeVersion=" + answerCollection.version
];
var runCmd = function(cmd, args, callback) {
var child = spawn(cmd, args);
child.stdin.pipe(process.stdin);
child.stdout.pipe(process.stdout);
child.stdout.on('end', function(res) {
console.log("stdout:end");
callback(res);
});
child.stderr.on('data', function(text) {
console.log("stderr:data");
console.log(data);
});
child.stderr.on('exit', function(data) {
console.log("stderr:exit");
console.log(data);
});
};
So far I've tried the above code with child_process and spawn = require('child_process').spawn('bash').
Question: Is there any other way to make sure I can trigger a script and if that returns with a prompt and asks for input I can type and enter and the script will continue?
From Facebook I got this tip to use cross-spawn, instead of child_process:
From Robert Haritonov:
Use cross-spawn: spawn('bower', bowerCommand, {stdio:'inherit'}).on('close', function () {});
This works perfectly well and provides exactly the behaviour I need.
I would like to use CasperJS in node.js.
I have referred to the following URL's to use CasperJS in node.js:
https://github.com/sgentle/phantomjs-node
http://casperjs.org/index.html#faq-executable
With the help of the above URLs I have written the following code:
//DISPLAY=:0 node test2.js
var phantom = require('phantom');
console.log('Hello, world!');
phantom.create(function (ph) {
ph.casperPath = '/opt/libs/casperjs'
ph.injectJs('/opt/libs/casperjs/bin/bootstrap.js');
var casper = require('casper').create();
casper.start('http://google.fr/');
casper.thenEvaluate(function (term) {
document.querySelector('input[name="q"]').setAttribute('value', term);
document.querySelector('form[name="f"]').submit();
}, {
term: 'CasperJS'
});
casper.then(function () {
// Click on 1st result link
this.click('h3.r a');
});
casper.then(function () {
console.log('clicked ok, new location is ' + this.getCurrentUrl());
});
casper.run();
});
When I run this code, I got the following error:
ERROR MSG:

You can use SpookyJS to drive CasperJS from Node.

I wan to use casperjs in nodejs.
and refs to:
https://github.com/sgentle/phantomjs-node and
http://casperjs.org/index.html#faq-executable
You can't run CasperJS that way; QtWebKit and V8 don't share the same
js environment (and event loop), so your node.js app won't be able to
load and use a CasperJS module. You have to run your CasperJS script
separately using a subprocess call, like this one on github. I
don't plan to make CasperJS compatible with phantomjs-node because it
uses alert()-based dirty hacks I'm not easy with.

CasperJS includes a web server to talk to the outside world. Node (using request, superagent etc) can now talk to casper over HTTP.
In scraper.js:
#!/usr/bin/env casperjs
// I AM NOT NODEJS
// I AM CASPER JS
// I RUN IN QTWEBKIT, NOT V8
var casper = require('casper').create();
var server = require('webserver').create();
var ipAndPort = '127.0.0.1:8585';
server.listen(ipAndPort, function(request, response) {
casper.start('https://connect.data.com/login');
casper.userAgent("Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_11_2) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/47.0.2526.106 Safari/537.36");
casper.then(function(){
// lots of code here, and a few more cassper.then()s
});
casper.run(function(){
console.log('\n\nFinished')
response.statusCode = 200;
var body = JSON.stringify({
phoneNumber: '1800-YOLO-SWAG'
})
response.write(body);
response.close();
});
});
You can now run scraper.js as a web server:
chmod +x scraper.js
./scraper.js
You should run it as a Linux service just like you would for a node app.
One solution (which worked for me) is to start and stop your server on a per-test basis. For example, I have a runtests.coffee which looks like:
http = require 'http'
glob = require 'glob'
spawn = require('child_process').spawn
db = require './db' # Contains all database stuff.
webapp = require './webapp' # Contains all of the Express stuff.
db.connect 'test' # Connects to the db server and creates an empty test db.
server = http.createServer webapp.makeApp()
server.listen 0, ->
port = server.address().port
process.env.URL = "http://localhost:#{ port }"
glob 'tests/*', (err, filenames) ->
child = spawn 'casperjs', ['test'].concat(filenames)
child.stdout.on 'data', (msg) -> process.stdout.write msg
child.stderr.on 'data', (msg) -> process.stderr.write msg
child.on 'exit', (code) ->
db.disconnect() # Drops the test db.
server.close()
process.exit code
And my CasperJS tests in tests/ look like:
URL = require('system').env.URL # Note, Casper code here, not Node.
casper.test.begin 'Test something', 1, (test) ->
casper.start "#{ URL }/welcome"
casper.then ->
test.assertHttpStatus 200
# ....
casper.run ->
test.done()
It basically means that your script can't find Casper; have you checked the path and made sure that
/opt/libs/casperjs
and:
/opt/libs/casperjs/bin/bootstrap.js
Are accessible by a website user ? considering the location it's probably not likely.
/opt is a unix path, but the website will be looking in {websiterootpath}/opt.
I'd create a subfolder 'casperjs' in the root folder of your website and copy the contents of
/opt/libs/casperjs
To there.
Then change your paths from
/opt/libs/casperjs
To
/casperjs
I tried to run casper by node cron job too,
here's my solution
in casper.js echo your response:
casper.then(function() {
var comments = this.evaluate(getComments);
this.echo(JSON.stringify(comments));
})
use node-cmd in node file casper_wrapper.js:
var cmd = require('node-cmd');
module.exports = function(url) {
return new Promise(function(resolve, reject) {
cmd.get(
'casperjs casper.js ' + url, // casper takes args to run the script
function(err, data, stderr){
if (err) {
reject(err);
return;
}
var obj = JSON.parse(data);
resolve(obj);
}
);
});
}
