How to have PhantomJSCloud wait for imbedded javascript in content

I am passing an HTML string to PhantomJSCloud in the "content" of the page. The HTML has JS embedded in it inside script tags at the end of the string. When I return the jpeg that I am requesting from PJSC, the objects that the JS manipulates, have not been manipulated. I know the js works, because I can copy and paste the whole html string to a file, open it in chrome, and watch it happen.

It is using Chart.js, which has an animation option, but i have set it to false.

Currently my request JSON looks like this:

  "pages": [
    {
      "content": "$$$CONTENT$$$",
      "renderSettings": {
        "quality": 100,
        "selector": "[id='report']"
      },
      "requestSettings": {
        "ioWait": 5000,
        "waitInterval": 5000
      }
    }
  ]
}

Replacing the "$$$CONTENT$$$" with my actual HTML string. The whole request takes less than 5 seconds so the "waitInterval" doesn't seem to be what I'm looking for.

This turned out to not be an issue of whether it was waiting on the javascript. My javascript was manipulating text, and some of that text had a \n inside of it. It apparently needed a \\\n
