You have two isssues:

(1) You're not invoking that hasCookies function, so are not evaluating against its return value, rather it's type (of function which will evaluate to true)

(2)hasCookies is most likely being returned as a string 'false' or 'true' rather than a Boolean literal of true or false.

When javascript does a comparison with non boolean literals it will do a conversion from the data type into boolean type.

The following values are converted to false:

null;
NaN;
0;
empty string (""); < -- this one applies to you here
undefined.

So when you expect "false" to evaluate to false in a ternary expression, it actually resolves to true.

Hello Everyone!

I am trying to do do a web-crawler with node-horseman, that make easier do work with phantomJS. But I am stuck at one point.

Apparently, i can't run for loops inside .evaluate, is it right?

The gist with my code:

As you can see, if i run exactly the same code in the browser, everything works fine, like in this image:

The thing you are missing is that phantom.js is running javascript in a different environment than node. Like many browsers, not all of the nice es6 language features are available in this environment (yet).

If I run your code , I get errors from phantom.js with the use of let. Changing those to var makes your code work for me.

Also, it's a good idea to add .catch() after the promise, because then you'll get better errors, which may have been useful in this situation.

If you're hosted on Azure App Service, be aware of this wiki here - https://github.com/projectkudu/kudu/wiki/Azure-Web-App-sandbox#unsupported-frameworks

Other scenarios that are not supported:
PhantomJS/Selenium: tries to connect to local address, and also uses GDI+.

Deploy your application to Cloud Services or a VM instead. App Service on Linux should also work if you bring your own container (with PhantomJS and all dependencies).

When working with PhantomJS-like libraries it's very important to get the concept of two main different contexts: one is the context of the script (which you write to automate dealing with a target site) and the other is the context of the target site's page. These contexts to do not intersect, they have different variables and capabilities.

Everything that happens inside of page.evaluate(), happens in the context of a browser page. You can actually visualise that code as being executed in console of your (Chrome|Firefox|Safari) browser at that site.

You can execute this in console at Google login page
