Node.js puppeteer - How to set navigation timeout?

Question

I'm using node.js and puppeteer to get some data. Some of the files I'm opening are quite large ... and then I get an error:

Error:

our error { TimeoutError: Navigation Timeout Exceeded: 30000ms exceeded     at Promise.then (/project/node_modules/puppeteer/lib/NavigatorWatcher.js:74:21)     at <anonymous> name: 'TimeoutError' } 

How can I ignore it or set a higher timeout?

That's my script:

await page.goto('url'+tableCell04Val, {waitUntil: 'load'}); 

Answer 1

You can use timeout: 0 to disable timeout errors if you're loading a heavy page.

Use it in your page.goto like:

await page.goto('url'+tableCell04Val, {waitUntil: 'load', timeout: 0}); 

You can see the PR made to Pupeteer here which added the change, along with documentation and the unit tests that implement it.

#UPDATE 2019

You can also change the page behaviour since V1.0.0:

page.setDefaultNavigationTimeout(0);  

The param is the timeout in milliseconds.
