What's new in CasperJS 1.0.4
Dec 7, 2013
- Fixed version number in package.json
New in CasperJS 1.1 Beta 3 (Dec 7, 2013)
- Important changes & bugfixes:
- Fixed #523 - Make CasperJS installable & usable from npm using:
- $ npm install casperjs
- Or if you want to install it globally on your system:
- $ npm install -g casperjs
- Notes:
- Only 1.1 beta versions are installable from npm;
- CasperJS is still not a NodeJS package, it needs either PhantomJS or SlimerJS to run.
- Fixed #728 - Prevent overriding of preconfigured casper instance in a test environment
- This was a hard decision to make, but too many people just don't read the docs and create new casper instance in a test env, overriding the preconfigured one which creates cumbersome and hard to understand situation.
- Hopefully this change will inform users right from the place they read docs the most, fatal error messages.
- Fixed #722 - Thrown step, complete and wait errors are no more silenced by default, though a new silentErrors Casper option is available if you want to reproduce the previous behavior
- Fixed #715 - Enhanced element visibility computation method
- Fixed #665 - Renamed --direct cli option to --verbose; --direct still works but is to be considered deprecated
- Fixed #596 - added a new .NET launcher for Windows environments; just switch to using bin/casperjs.exe today
- Note: The previous batchbin/casperjs.bat executable is deprecated and won't be maintained anymore.
- New features:
- Added an --auto-exit=no test runner option and an exit tester event to hook on before runner exits
- Added Casper#scrollTo() & Casper#scrollToBottom() scrolling helpers
- Added a resource-error event on resource loading failure (#649)
- Added a reset option to Casper#sendKeys()
- Added CSS selector support to Tester#assertField()
- Added a details property bag to waitFor.timeout events
- Added a new improved RPM package build script
- Minor fixes & enhancements:
- Fixed #639 - withFrame() now switches back to parent frame instead of main one
- Fixed #637 - checkStep() turns into an infinite loop when navigationLocked is true
- Fixed #699 - getPageContent() throws error when content is not HTML
- Fixed #666 - Ensure local options configuration override global configuration of Casper instance
- Fixed #631 - better .bind() polyfill
- Fixed #644 - better handling of deleted page objects
