Why doesn't puppeteer wait for page to load??

ketchupmessi63

I'm really struggling to get accurate screenshots using Puppeteer. Every time I try, the images aren't fully loaded, and the styles aren't applied. It's super frustrating because I can't find the right balance between waiting too long and not waiting long enough😡How can I make Puppeteer wait until the page is completely loaded before taking a screenshot? I need some reliable methods to ensure everything is fully rendered.

I totally understand your frustration. Puppeteer can be tricky when it comes to waiting for pages to fully load. One method you can try is using the waitUntil: 'networkidle0' option. This makes Puppeteer wait for there to be no network activity for at least 500ms, which helps ensure all resources like images and styles are loaded.

Another approach is to wait for a specific element to appear on the page using page.waitForSelector(). This way, you can wait until a particular element that you know will be present when the page has finished loading becomes visible. This is especially useful if you're dealing with elements that load dynamically. Give these methods a try and see if any of them helps.
