I have been recently working with NightmareJS and I am now having a problem. It seems as though whenever I try to load a page using Nightmare and wait for a selector to exist, it hangs on the goto call. I have the following code and the only thing printed to console is "loading".
nm = new Nightmare({show: false});
console.log("loading");
nm.goto("https://www.google.com")
.then(() => {
return nm.wait(".gbqfba")
.then(() => {
console.log("search bar loaded, showing browser");
nm.show();
})
.catch((err) => {
console.log(err.toString());
})
})
.catch(error => console.log('An error occurred:', error));
(the class 'gbqfba' is a hidden part of the search bar that I wait for so I know the bar is loaded)
nightmare.show() is no more a function and you need to set it during initialize.To view nightmare's renderer window, you need to pass
var nightmare = Nightmare({ show: true });
Also, you can turn on the Developer tools, so that you can manually check if document.querySelector(".gbqfba"); is working.
var nightmare = Nightmare({
openDevTools: true,
show: true
});
