Wait doesn't work anymore with chrome #616

Description

@ajoah

Since the 4.2.4 version, it seems that it is no longer possible to wait. Neither with wait--chrome file nor with the new settle parameter (see my comment: https://github.com/BBC-News/wraith/pull/578#issuecomment-506382831).

To tested this, i created a simple html file with a JS counter:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
	<head>
		<meta charset="UTF-8">
		<title>Test Wraith Waith</title>
		<script type="text/javascript">
			setInterval( function() {
				document.getElementById( 'counter' ).textContent = parseInt( document.getElementById( 'counter' ).textContent ) + 1
			}, 1000 )
		</script>
	</head>
	<body>
		<span id="counter">0</span>
	</body>
</html>

I used a wait of 10 seconds.

With wraith 4.2.3 :
4 2 3

With wraith 4.2.4 :
4 2 4

You can found my wraith settings below :

  • I have validated my config file against YAML Validator to make sure it is valid YAML.

  • I have run the wraith info command and pasted the output below:

  • I have run the command in verbose mode (by adding verbose: true to my config) and pasted the output below:

  • I have pasted the contents of my config file below:
##############################################################
##############################################################
# This is an example configuration provided by Wraith.
# Feel free to amend for your own requirements.
# ---
# This particular config is intended to demonstrate how
# to use Wraith in 'history' mode, which is best suited to
# making sure your site's appearance remains consistent over
# time.
#
# `wraith history history.yaml` # generate base screenshots
# `wraith latest history.yaml`  # take new shots and compare
#
##############################################################
##############################################################

# (required) The engine to run Wraith with. Examples: 'phantomjs', 'casperjs', 'slimerjs'
browser: "chrome"

# (required) The domain to take screenshots of.
domains:
  test: "https://test.example.com/"

# (required) The paths to capture. This particular config is using casperjs, so we can take screenshots of selectors rather than the entire page.
paths:
  test: "/"

settle: 10

# (optional) JavaScript file to execute before taking screenshot of every path. Default: nil
before_capture: 'javascript/wait--chrome.js'

# (required) Screen widths (and optional height) to resize the browser to before taking the screenshot.
screen_widths:
  - 1280

# (optional) Resize to each screen width (efficient), or reload at each screen width (costly). Default: 'reload'
resize_or_reload: 'reload'

# (required for history mode, otherwise optional) The directory that your base screenshots will be stored in.
history_dir: 'shots_base'

# (required) The directory that your latest screenshots will be stored in
directory: 'shots'

# (required) Amount of fuzz ImageMagick will use when comparing images. A higher fuzz makes the comparison less strict.
fuzz: '20%'

# (optional) The maximum acceptable level of difference (in %) between two images before Wraith reports a failure. Default: 0
threshold: 5

# (optional) Specify the template (and generated thumbnail sizes) for the gallery output.
gallery:
  template: 'slideshow_template' # Examples: 'basic_template' (default), 'slideshow_template'
  thumb_width:  200
  thumb_height: 200

# (optional) Choose which results are displayed in the gallery, and in what order. Default: alphanumeric
# Options:
#   alphanumeric - all paths (with or without a difference) are shown, sorted by path
#   diffs_first - all paths (with or without a difference) are shown, sorted by difference size (largest first)
#   diffs_only - only paths with a difference are shown, sorted by difference size (largest first)
# Note: different screen widths are always grouped together.
mode: diffs_first

# (optional) Choose to run Wraith in verbose mode, for easier debugging. Default: false
verbose: true

# (optional) Color to highlight the image diff. Default: 'blue'
highlight_color: red

# (optional) Parameters to pass to Phantom/Casper command line. Default: '--ignore-ssl-errors=true --ssl-protocol=tlsv1'
phantomjs_options: ''

Wait file :

var callback = arguments[arguments.length-1];
