I'm using Hound (with PhantomJS) to scrape a web page. The page in question lazily loads some of the content I need with Javascript.

This is what I'm doing currently.

def movies do
  Hound.start_session

  navigate_to(url())

  :timer.sleep(6000)

  # Do stuff with page_source()
end

How can I get Hound to wait for the page to be fully loaded without having to hard code an arbitrary timer?

  • This is not a duplicate. The other answer doesn't take Javascript into account. – jordelver May 31 '16 at 09:57

not sure if its the best solution but i did this way 


  def wait_until_page_is_loaded() do

    case execute_script("return document.readyState") do
       "loading" ->  wait_until_page_is_loaded()
       _ -> true
     end
  end
