HTML source

steve64

Is there a way to get the HTML source of a document after loading with Webview?
I tried something like:
web:eval('document.documentElement.outerHTML')
but with no success...

Beware that the Webview:eval() method return a Task, so you have to wait for it to finish to get the result, like this :

local html = await(wv:eval("document.documentElement.outerHTML"))

I also tried that, but the await does not return, it seems that the task remains in sleeping status (I'm on 1.9.0)

This is my test:

require 'webview'

local win = ui.Window('web test', 'dialog', 300, 200)
local web = ui.Webview(win, '', 0, 0, 300, 200)
web.align = "all"

function web:onReady()
  web.url = 'https://wttr.in'
  print('ready')
end

function web:onLoaded(success, status)   
  print('onLoaded', success, status)
  html = await(web:eval('document.documentElement.outerHTML'))
  print(html)
end

win:show()
while win.visible do
  ui.update()
end

Yes that's because you are awaiting the Task inside an ui event.
It's part of a major bug described here : [Login to see the link]

I have it fixed internally, it will be available in final LuaRT 1.9.0 release
