I installed PhantomJS in C:\xampp\htdocs\phantom and also I installed CasperJS in this folder C:\xampp\htdocs\casper
When I tried to run these sample code on casper site using phantomjs test.js
command:
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();
}, '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();
It gives me an error telling me that:
Error: Cannot find module 'casper'
What did I do wrong?
If you want to run CasperJS through PhantomJS (since you invoke phantomjs test.js
) you need some bootstrapping code at the beginning of the script:
phantom.casperPath = 'path/to/node_modules/casperjs';
phantom.injectJs('path/to/node_modules/casperjs/bin/bootstrap.js');
Keep in mind that even on windows, you need to use a forward slash.
If you need the test environment then you also need the line:
phantom.casperTest = true;
Everything is taken from this question: Running 'casperjs test' in phantom
Although this is possible you shouldn't do it. You should invoke CasperJS directly through its executable/batch file in node_modules/casperjs/batchbin.
okay i know what i did wrong i had a mistake on the path i used for casperjs, i should have used "C:\xampp\htdocs\casper\batchbin" instead of "C:\xampp\htdocs\casper\bin". i will not delete this post, this might help other newbies to casperjs just like me.
You should run your program by the following command line:
casperjs test.js
