PhantomJS in non-headless mode - Google Groups

Post reply 9/16/11

Other recipients: I made a plugin for you called liveView, for PyPhantomJS. Please

remember it only works in master (1.3.dev).

You may find the plugin here.

http://dev.umaclan.com/projects/pyphantomjs/wiki/Plugins#LiveView

How to use:

To enable: page.liveView.show()

To disable: page.liveView.close()

Please also remember:

- The size of the dialog will only ever be as big as your

viewportSize. So if you to see more, make your viewportSize bigger.

- Also, there is no scrolling, as this behaves exactly as PyPhantomJS

would while in headless mode. There is a scrolling feature in the API

if you need to scroll.

- Lastly, this plugin was only made to see what was going on, and not

to control the web browser from your GUI window; as such, doing that

type of stuff is disabled. This plugin was only made to see what's

going on behind the scenes.
