puppeteer-ie v0.5.8

Puppeteer-IE

Headless Internet Explorer NodeJS API inspired by Puppeteer.

Notice Microsoft Edge isn't supported by this package as it utilizes ActiveX, whereas Edge uses the WebDriver protocol & DevTools Protocol for automation. So you can control it by Selenium or Edge diagnostics adapter.

Installation

npm install puppeteer-ie --save-dev

Notice If you get some error at installing, try to execute the command below:

npm install windows-build-tools --global --production

Usage

Only change the Package Name, and then do as Puppeteer does.

Recommendation Use DayDream to record operation scripts in Google Chrome.

API document accesses from https://techquery.github.io/Puppeteer-IE/, npm docs or npm run help.

Known issue

1. Loading pages of IE will be blocked if a Web server running in the same NodeJS process

2. Loading pages from localhost will lost the window object in NodeJS process

For the above reasons, I recommend using KoApache to host your Web pages for testing or other things.
