How to increase the timeout in CasperJS
26,451
Solution 1
As said here,
The signature is
waitFor(Function testFx[, Function then, Function onTimeout, Number timeout])
So, there is an additionnal argument to specify the timeout.
casper.waitFor(function check() {
//...
});
}, function then() {
//...
}, function timeout() {
//...
}, TIMEOUT_IN_MS);
Solution 2
Use that to increase the timeout of every wait() functions : casper.options.waitTimeout = 20000;
(20sec)
Solution 3
If you want to increase timeout while leaving the default error message, pass null
as the third argument and number of milliseconds to wait as the fourth argument:
casper.waitFor(function check() {
return this.evaluate(function() {
return this.evaluate(someFunction, 'variable 1','variable 2','variable 3') === 'yes';
});
}, function then() {
console.log('Done');
}, null, 10000);

I am using
waitFor()
. The code as below:casper.waitFor(function check() { return this.evaluate(function() { return this.evaluate(someFunction, 'variable 1','variable 2','variable 3') === 'yes'; }); }, function then() { console.log('Done'); });
Am getting this as console output
Wait timeout of 5000ms expired, exiting.
How can I increase the timeout?
EDIT: I have changed the code to
casper.waitFor(function check() { return this.evaluate(function() { return this.evaluate(someFunction, 'variable 1','variable 2','variable 3') === 'yes'; }); }, function then() { console.log('Done'); },10000);
It's giving me the following error:
CasperError: Invalid timeout function, exiting. C:/filename:1720 in _check

Ryguy over 10 yearsYou can also set an option to increase the timeout. This will be the default for all timed functions. See the following link: link

user2129794 over 10 yearsPlease see Edit. I have updated the code but am getting the error as shown in the edit

Cybermaxs over 10 yearsyes, in fact the third argument is onTimeout callback. Timeout value is the fourth.

gumuruh almost 8 yearsthis value will be used for the command of waitFor() and also wait() all in commons @Fanch ?

Fanch almost 8 years@gumuruh : yes ;) docs.casperjs.org/en/latest/modules/casper.html#waittimeout
Default wait timeout, for wait* family functions.
