Overview of this book

Puppeteer is an open source web automation library created by Google to perform tasks such as end-to-end testing, performance monitoring, and task automation with ease. Using real-world use cases, this book will take you on a pragmatic journey, helping you to learn Puppeteer and implement best practices to take your automation code to the next level! Starting with an introduction to headless browsers, this book will take you through the foundations of browser automation, showing you how far you can get using Puppeteer to automate Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. You’ll then learn the basics of end-to-end testing and understand how to create reliable tests. You’ll also get to grips with finding elements using CSS selectors and XPath expressions. As you progress through the chapters, the focus shifts to more advanced browser automation topics such as executing JavaScript code inside the browser. You’ll learn various use cases of Puppeteer, such as mobile devices or network speed testing, gauging your site’s performance, and using Puppeteer as a web scraping tool. By the end of this UI testing book, you’ll have learned how to make the most of Puppeteer’s API and be able to apply it in your real-world projects.

We also covered many page events we can wait for. But in the same way that a CSS selector won't cover 100% of cases, and an XPath expression cannot cover all other scenarios, the same happens with wait functions.

There are some scenarios where we need something more. Now we have the waitForFunction.

This is the signature of the waitForFunction function: page.waitForFunction(pageFunction, options, ...args).

The first argument is the pageFunction. It works in the same way as in the evaluate function. It can be a JavaScript function; it could also be a string; it can expect arguments, and so on.

The third argument, args, is the arguments that can be sent to the function. This is an optional list of values.

I didn't forget about the second argument. The second argument is...
