try {
let window1 = yield openWindow('about:');
console.log(window1.uri);
yield delay(5); // sleep for 5 seconds
let promise = window1.runScript(uri => {
location.href = uri;
return 42;
}, 'about:buildconfig');
yield window1.waitForReload();
console.log((yield promise), window1.uri);
yield delay(10.5); // sleep for 10.5 seconds

Asynchronous helper utilities
const {run} = require('zombie/async');
run(function* () {
try {
let result = yield new Promise(...);
} catch (e) {
// rejected
}
throw new Error();
})
.then(function (result) {
// generator is finished
})
.catch(function (e) {
// an error in generator
});
const {run} = require('zombie/async');
run(function* () {
try {
let result = yield new Promise(...);
} catch (e) {
// rejected
}
throw new Error();
})
.then(function (result) {
// generator is finished
})
.catch(function (e) {
// an error in generator
});
Open and control Web-browser windows
require('zombie/webbrowser').openPrivateWindow('about:')
.then(window => {
console.log(window.uri);
})
.catch(e => {
console.exception(e); // failed
});
// writable since 0.4.0
window.uri = 'about:';
window.waitForReload()
.then(...)
let promise = w.runScript(function (arg1, arg2) {
console.log(document.title);
return 'result';
}, 'arg1', 'arg2');
w.screenshot().then(dataURI => {
w.uri = dataURI;
});
