bahmutovclean-console
Quickly loads a remote page using phantomjs to check if there are any JavaScript console errors.
Install and use
npm install -g clean-console
// assumes phantomjs is installed
clean-console -i <url>
Note: only actual exceptions will be logged, failed console.assert statements DO NOT
cause a true browser error (unlike nodejs).
A good pattern to unify nodejs/browser assertion handling is to wrap assertions into helper method:
function really(condition, message) {
console.assert(condition, message); // stops nodejs execution
if (!condition) {
// stop execution in a browser
throw new Error(condition.toString() + ' failed, ' + message);
}
}
Update
Seems the latest PhantomJs 2 generates errors when using console.error
and console.assert by default.
