I'm still working on scraping tasks.
During these tasks, I've picked up a few techniques for specific situations, and I'm nothing them down for future reference.

What I learned

  • It's better to use the method .click() when the targeted element has an attribute like href="Javascript:~". This ensures the click action is properly triggered.

  • When you want to input text into a pre-filled textbox, clear it first by using:

await page.$eval("selector", element => element.value = "")

This will help avoid appending text to the existing value.

  • The method page.waitForTimeout doesn't exist. In fact, .waitForTimeout is deprecated and shouldn't be used.
