CasperJS: Open a new window

Have a link on the page:

<a id="quote" href="quote.html" target="_blank">Quote</a>

Click it in CasperJS, but I can't capture the page in new window.

casper.start('http://domain.com');
casper.thenClick('#quote');
casper.then(function() {
    this.capture('file1.png');
});

casper.run();

see also the documentation in casperjs about:

casper.waitForPopup();
casper.withPopup();

the new window(when clicking on link with target="_blank" attribute) can be considered as Popup.

document at: http://docs.casperjs.org/en/latest/modules/casper.html#waitforpopup

casper.start('http://domain.com');
casper.thenClick('#quote');
casper.waitForResource('file1.png' , function() {
this.capture('file1.png');
});

casper.run();

You should try to wait for all the resources to be loaded, then proceed with other job. This will always work.

CasperJS doesn't work with new windows. You have to manually remove the "target=_blank" before cliking on the link :

this.evaluate(function () {
    [].forEach.call(__utils__.findAll('a'), function(link) {
        link.removeAttribute('target');
    });
});
