    <p><strong>Overview</strong></p> <p>I am trying to create a very basic scraper with PhantomJS and pjscrape framework.</p> <p><strong>My Code</strong></p> <pre class="lang-js prettyprint-override"><code>pjs.config({ timeoutInterval: 6000, timeoutLimit: 10000, format: 'csv', csvFields: ['productTitle','price'], writer: 'file', outFile: 'D:\\prod_details.csv' }); pjs.addSuite({ title: 'ChainReactionCycles Scraper', url: productURLs, //This is an array of URLs, two example are defined below scrapers: [ function() { var results []; var linkTitle = _pjs.getText('#ModelsDisplayStyle4_LblTitle'); var linkPrice = _pjs.getText('#ModelsDisplayStyle4_LblMinPrice'); results.push([linkTitle[0],linkPrice[0]]); return results; } ] }); </code></pre> <p><strong>URL Array's Used</strong></p> <p>This first array <em>DOES NOT WORK</em> and fails after the 3rd or 4th URL.</p> <pre class="lang-js prettyprint-override"><code>var productURLs = ["8649","17374","7327","7325","14892","8650","8651","14893","18090","51318"]; for(var i=0;i&lt;productURLs.length;++i){ productURLs[i] = 'http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=' + productURLs[i]; } </code></pre> <p>This second array <em>WORKS</em> and does not fail, even though it is from the same site.</p> <pre class="lang-js prettyprint-override"><code>var categoriesURLs = ["304","2420","965","518","514","1667","521","1302","1138","510"]; for(var i=0;i&lt;categoriesURLs.length;++i){ categoriesURLs[i] = 'http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Categories.aspx?CategoryID=' + categoriesURLs[i]; } </code></pre> <p><strong>Problem</strong></p> <p>When iterating through <code>productURLs</code> the PhantomJS <code>page.open</code> optional callback automatically assumes <em>failure</em>. Even when the page hasn't finished loading.</p> <p>I know this as I started the script up while running an HTTP debugger and the HTTP request were still running even after PhantomJS had reported a a page load <em>failure</em>.</p> <p>However, the code works fine when running with <code>categoriesURLs</code>.</p> <p><strong>Assumptions</strong></p> <ol> <li>All the URL's listed above are VALID</li> <li>I have the latest versions of both PhantomJS and pjscrape</li> </ol> <p><strong>Possible Solutions</strong></p> <p>These are solutions I have tried thus far.</p> <ol> <li>Disabling image loading <code>page.options.loadImages = false</code></li> <li>Settings a larger <code>timeoutInterval</code> in <code>pjs.config</code> this was not useful apparently as the error generated was of a <code>page.open</code> failure and NOT a timeout failure.</li> </ol> <p>Any ideas?</p>

    1. COAs I just noted on GitHub, I can't reproduce the issue - I was able to retrieve the `productUrls` list without a problem. I don't think it's a Pjscrape problem - it sounds like a PhantomJS issue.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
