CasperJS: a navigation scripting & testing utility for PhantomJS

CasperJS is an open source navigation scripting & testing utility written in Javascript and based on PhantomJS — the scriptable headless WebKit engine. It eases the process of defining a full navigation scenario and provides useful high-level functions, methods & syntactic sugar for doing common tasks

Written on top of the previously mentioned PhantomJS

var links = [];
var casper = require('casper').create();

function getLinks() {
    var links = document.querySelectorAll('h3.r a');
    return Array.prototype.map.call(links, function(e) {
        return e.getAttribute('href')
    });
}

casper.start('http://google.fr/', function() { // search for 'casperjs' from google form
    this.fill('form[action="/search"]', { q: 'casperjs' }, true);
});

casper.then(function() { // aggregate results for the 'casperjs' search
    links = this.evaluate(getLinks);
});

casper.run(function() { // echo results in some pretty fashion
    this.echo(links.length + ' links found:');
    this.echo(' - ' + links.join('\n - ')).exit();
});

Also ships with a handful of tools to perform functional testing:

var casper = require('casper').create();

casper.start('http://www.google.fr/', function() {
    this.test.assertTitle('Google', 'google homepage title is the one expected');
    this.test.assertExists('form[action="/search"]', 'main form is found');
    this.fill('form[action="/search"]', {
        q: 'foo'
    }, true);
});

casper.then(function() {
    this.test.assertTitle('foo - Recherche Google', 'google title is ok');
    this.test.assertUrlMatch(/q=foo/, 'search term has been submitted');
    this.test.assertEval(function() {
        return __utils__.findAll('h3.r').length >= 10;
    }, 'google search for "foo" retrieves 10 or more results');
});

casper.run(function() {
    this.test.done(5); // checks that 5 assertions have been executed
    this.test.renderResults(true);
});
