Currently, JSHandle.jsonValue() is implemented as in-page JSON.stringify
call and consequent JSON.parse in node. This approach proved to be
unfortunate for automation purposes: if page author overrode the
Object.prototype.toJSON method, then it's harder for puppeteer to
interact with the page.
This patch switches JSHandle.jsonValue to use protocol serialization
that ignores toJSON property. THis also changes the `page.evaluate`
behavior since it is based on JSHandle.jsonValue().
Fixes#1003.
BREAKING CHANGE:
`page.evaluate` no longer calls toJSON when generating return value.
For the old behavior, do JSON.parse/JSON.stringify manually:
```js
const json = JSON.parse(await page.evaluate(() => JSON.stringify(obj)));
```
This patch:
- introduces Target class that represents any inspectable target, such as service worker or page
- emits events when targets come and go
- introduces target.page() to instantiate a page from a target
Fixes#386, fixes#443.
Similarly to the `request.response()` method, this patch adds
`request.failure()` method that returns error details for the failed
requests.
Fixes#901.
This patch:
- changes `browser.close` to terminate browser.
- introduces new `browser.disconnect` to disconnect from a browser without closing it
This patch: fixes#918, fixes#989
BREAKING CHANGE:
`browser.close()` will always close a browser, even if it was initialized with
`puppeteer.connect`. To disconnect from a remote browser, use `browser.disconnect()` instead.
This patch starts generating input events for `keyboard.down`, addressing bullet 2 of
#723. With this patch, there's no longer any difference between `keboard.press('a')` and
`keyboard.press('a', {text: 'a'})`.
BREAKING CHANGE:
`keyboard.down('a')` starts generating input event (wasn't the case before).
References #723
This patch:
- deprecates injectFile as it was confused with the addScriptTag
- accepts an options object in addScriptTag which supports properties url, path and content.
- accepts an options object in addStyleTag which supports properties url, path and content.
Fixes#949.
BREAKING CHANGE:
- the addStyleTag/addScriptTag have changed;
- the injectFile was removed in favor of (addStyleTag({path:}).
This patch introduces `Page.queryObjects` and
`ExecutionContext.queryObjects` methods to query JavaScript heap
for objects with a certain prototype.
Fixes#304.
The page.plainText is confusing: it's unclear what kind of text it
returns, textContent or innerText. It's also easily polyfillable and
doesn't seem to be used.
BREAKING CHANGE: the page.plainText is not existing any more.
Instead, use `page.evaluate(() => document.body.innerText)`.
This patch:
- updates JSHandle.toString to make a nicer description for primitives
- excludes JSHandle.toString from documentation to avoid its abuse
References #382
This patch moves resourceType to be all small-caps. This aligns
with our convention that all string constants should be smallcaps.
BREAKING CHANGE: this patch changes the constants of the
request.resourceType to be all small-caps.
This patch:
- adds `ElementHandle.boundingBox()` method to get bounding box of element relative
to the page
- adds `ElementHandle.screenshot()` method to capture a screenshot of an element
This patch:
- adds input methods to ElementHandle, such as ElementHandle.type and ElementHandle.press
- changes `page.type` to accept selector as the first argument
- removes `page.press` method. The `page.press` is rarely used and doesn't operate with selectors; if there's a need to press a button, `page.keyboard.press` should be used.
BREAKING CHANGE: `page.type` is changed, `page.press` is removed.
Fixes#241.
This patch:
- introduces ExecutionContext class that incapsulates javascript
execution context. An examples of execution contexts are workers and
frames
- introduces JSHandle that holds a references to the javascript
object in ExecutionContext
- inherits ElementHandle from JSHandle
Fixes#382.
This patch allows passing 0 to disable timeout for the following methods:
- page.goto
- page.waitForNavigation
- page.goForward
- page.goBack
Fixes#782.
This patch introduces ConsoleMessage type and starts dispatching
it for the 'console' event.
BREAKING CHANGE: this breaks the api of the 'console' event.
Fixes#744.
This patch adds support for PUPPETEER_SKIP_CHROMIUM_DOWNLOAD
variable in npm config.
This aligns the variable with the rest of supported environment variables.
This lets the user pass `...args` into `page.waitFor`. It also clarifies that the docs that `options` is not optional if `...args` are specified.
Fixes#770
Since protocol ignores all HTTP headers that don't have string
value, this patch starts validating header key-values before
sending them over the protocol.
Fixes#713.
This patch:
- makes `browser.close()` return a promise that resolves when browser gets closed
- starts closing chrome gracefully if a custom `userDataDir` is supplied
Fixes#527
This patch:
- teaches `page.evaluate` to accept ElementHandles as parameters
- removes `ElementHandle.evaluate` method since it's not needed any
more
References #382
It's very bad to have 'unhandled promise rejection' that can't be
handled in user code. These errors will exit node process in a near
future.
This patch avoids 'unhandled promise rejection' while sending protocol
messages.
This patch:
- introduces `puppeteer:error` debug scope and starts using it for all
swalloed errors.
- makes sure that every `client.send` method is either awaited or its
errors are handled.
- starts return promises from Request.continue() and Request.abort().
- starts swallow errors from Request.contine() and Request.abort().
The last is the most important part of the patch. Since
`Request.continue()` might try to continue canceled request, we should
disregard the error.
Fixes#627.
This patch:
- adds `page.touchscreen` namespace, similar to `page.mouse` and `page.keyboard`.
- adds tapping to multiple layers:
- `page.touchscreen.tap`
- `page.tap` - convenience method which accepts selector
- `elementHandle.tap`
Fixes#568 and #569.
This patch:
- starts skipping chromium download if `PUPPETEER_SKIP_CHROMIUM_DOWNLOAD` env variable is set
- adds description of support env variables to the `docs/api.md`.
References #603
This patch:
- switches to objects instead of maps for headers (in Request, Response and
page.setExtraHTTPHeaders)
- converts all header names to lower case
Fixes#547, fixes#509
This patch bumps version to 0.9.1-alpha.
This should emphasize that the documentation is related to the tip-of-tree
version of puppeteer, not to the latest release.
This patch:
- adds a 'timeout' launcher option that constrains the time for chromium to launch.
- adds a 'handleSIGINT' launcher option that is `true` by default and that closes chrome instance
Fixes#363.
* Replace let with const in examples when appropriate.
* Unify spacing.
* Fix possible copy-paste artifacts.
* Eliminate one unhandled promise rejection ('Target closed').
This patch:
- removes the `page.uploadFile` method
- adds `elementHandle.uploadFile` method.
Motivation: `elementHandle.uploadFile` is rarely used, so it doesn't worth it
to keep it on page.
This patch:
- refactors Connection to use a single remote debugging URL instead of a
pair of port and browserTargetId
- introduces Puppeteer.connect() method to attach to already running
browser instance.
Fixes#238.
This patch starts emitting 'error' event when page crashes.
'error' events have special treatment in node, so page crashes
become observable for users.
Fixes#262.
This patch:
- split browser launching logic from Browser into `lib/Launcher.js`
- introduce `puppeteer` namespace which currently has a single `launch`
method to start a browser
With this patch, the browser is no longer created with the `new
Browser(..)` command. Instead, it should be "launched" via the
`puppeteer.launch` method:
```js
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');
puppeteer.launch().then(async browser => {
...
});
```
With this approach browser instance lifetime matches the lifetime of
actual browser process. This helps us:
- remove proxy streams, e.g. browser.stderr and browser.stdout
- cleanup browser class and make it possible to connect to remote
browser
- introduce events on the browser instance, e.g. 'page' event. In case
of lazy-launching browser, we should've launch browser when an event
listener is added, which is unneded comlpexity.
This patch:
- changes interception API so that it better aligns with what we'd like to see
in #121
- fixes the issue with redirect interception
Fixes#217.
These commands proved to be over-complicating the documentation source.
We should keep documentation source as simple to edit as possible to
make it friendly to contributions.
This patch keeps the gen:version command as it is non-invasive.
This patch implements 'autoRepeat' functionality for `keyboard.down`.
With this patch, the subsequent calls to `keyboard.down` would generate
an event with 'autoRepeat` flag set to true.
Closes#157
The motivation behind the patch:
- examples are probably the most valuable thing in the doc
- currently, one would need to navigate to `page.evaluate` and then
click to the `frame.evaluate` to see the example.
- with this patch, all the descriptions for the shortcut methods are
copied as well. So there's an example for `page.evaluate` right
away.
Drive-by: fix links for `page.$` and `page.$$`
The two tasks allow to copy text from one part of document to another.
This comes handy in organizing the documentation for our shortcut
methods, which should be exactly the same as the original methods.
The tasks work like this:
- the gen:copy(id) task saves a part of document under the name 'ID'.
- the gen:paste(id) task pastes text saved with id 'ID'
This patch also fixes a bunch of links in documentation, as well as
migrating `api.md` to use the two tasks.
This patch implements simple markdown preprocessor. The goal
is to generate certain parts of markdown, such as:
- puppeteer version
- chromium revision
- table-of-contents
- copy/paste parts of documentation (for shortcut methods)
This patch:
- teaches page.uploadFile() to resolve given file paths against
current working directory. This aligns paths handling with all the
other methods
- moves page.uploadFile() under Frame
- changes test to use relative path for file upload
