Does phantomjs regularly clear its cache automatically?

Question

I need to change the default time of automatic cache clear for Phantomjs if there is such a feature. Any idea?

Answer 1

Should be the feature that you are looking for:

https://github.com/ariya/phantomjs/issues/10357

page.clearMemoryCache()

Answer 2

Each PhantomJS process has its own in-memory cache, so there is no need to clear it between script executions. You can let PhantomJS save the cache in disk, so that it persists accross executions. See the --disk-cache option.

There is no way to clear the cache during a script execution.

localStorage on the other hand is persisted every time and you cannot turn it off. So you may need to add the following snippet before exiting PhantomJS.

page.evaluate(function(){
    localStorage.clear();
});
