This is the basic step in this Puppeteer tutorial as any action like scraping elements can be done only after a website is launched. Once we start the execution, the browser is launched on headless mode, and it directly sends a get request to the web page and receives the HTML content that we require as explained below in steps.
You definitely would have to scrape more than 1 element from a webpage and you can get it done by following the following step. Select a querySelectorAll to get all the elements matching the selector, and create an array as heading elements are a type of Node List. Once the execution is over, we can easily set the debugger in the automation process and get a current page Dom file in ChromeDev tools by using the below code.
Another useful feature is the ability to take screenshots when the browser is running. These screenshots can be taken by using the puppeteer Node library. Furthermore, we can make some special requests to manipulate the layout and make some rearrangements of the HTML elements. In the command, we have defined the format to be A4.
Many people might encounter difficulties if their work demands several tabs. So we thought the code to open a link in a new tab in puppeteer would come in handy, and added it to this Puppeteer tutorial. We can also click on any element or button in the puppeteer, but the only challenging aspect here would be to find the element. Once you have found the element, you can just fire up the click function as shown below. The checkbox is another element that we can handle by assigning two inputs as shown in the code.
Here, the first input is taken as the selector, which is the option we want to select, and the second input as the click count. The --disable-gpu flag is a temporary work around for a few bugs. You won't need this flag in future versions of Chrome. See crbug. Headless Chrome doesn't use a window so a display server like Xvfb is no longer needed.
You can happily run your automated tests without it. What is Xvfb? Xvfb is an in-memory display server for Unix-like systems that enables you to run graphical applications like Chrome without an attached physical display. Many people use Xvfb to run earlier versions of Chrome to do "headless" testing. Check out lighthouse-ci.
Headless Chrome is similar to tools like PhantomJS. Both can be used for automated testing in a headless environment. The main difference between the two is that Phantom uses an older version of WebKit as its rendering engine while Headless Chrome uses the latest version of Blink. For bugs against Headless Chrome, file them on crbug. For bugs in the DevTools protocol, file them at github.

I find this move interesting because it provides a better feedback loop to the software. Our browser scripts are now closer to the headless browser. Puppeteer has several concepts but 2 of them are of our interest when automating browser actions:. We can navigate in a page, intercept browser requests before they even reach a page and click on elements.
