It probably is a matter of Promise:
Look at the since field of my return block, using an arrow function it doesn't return any result:
{
link: 'www.xxxxxx.com/1234',
name: 'jhon doe',
since: {}
},
instead to return directly the value, it works as expected!
Since i need to perform complex operations with selectors, I'd like to use an inline arrow function in that point, how can I fix to get the result out?
let rawMembers = await page.evaluate(() => new Promise((resolve) => {
....
//captute all the link
const anchors = Array.from(document.querySelectorAll('a'));
let result = anchors.map(x => {
return {
link: x.getAttribute("href"),
name: x.innerText,
//since : x.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.getAttribute("class") <--- this works
since: x => { <---using an arrow function, it returns and empty objecy `{}`
// i need a function here to do complex and multiline operations
return x.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.getAttribute("class");
}
....
resolve(results);
i've tried this as well but with the same result
since: x => new Promise((resolve) => {
// i need a function here to do complex and multiline operations
resolve(x.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.getAttribute("class"));
})
In since you have a reference to the arrow function itself, not to its result. Functions are not serialaizable, so you get an empty object. You need to call the function, i.e. to use IIFE:
since: (() => {
return x.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.getAttribute("class");
})()
