Error when running JSDOM.fromURL on a website using jQuery

[vkaelin]

Basic info:

• Node.js version: 12.10.0
• jsdom version: 16.2.2

Minimal reproduction case

const { JSDOM } = require("jsdom")

const options = {
  runScripts: 'dangerously'
};

// Example url
const url = 'https://skillpvp.fr/'

JSDOM.fromURL(url, options)
  .then((dom) => {
    const wantedValue = dom.window
  })
  .catch(() => { })

Explanations

When I run this code on a website using Jquery, the wantedValue variable is fine, I get the value I want. But my Node.js console is full of Error: Uncaught [ReferenceError: $ is not defined].

The catch doesn't seem to work here. Is it possible to catch errors from external scripts like this ? Or to pass jQuery as dependence to jsdom ?

Errors:

(I get multiple times this same error).

[domenic]

I can't reproduce this because you have not provided a real URL, or an example of the output.

[vkaelin]

@domenic Sorry for that, I've updated the issue.

[Jacobboogiebear]

I get the same issue when running code like this

let jsdom = require('jsdom');
let { JSDOM } = jsdom;


JSDOM.fromURL("https://www.us-proxy.org/", { runScripts: 'dangerously' }).then(dom => {
  console.log(dom.serialize());
});

[aarock1234]

Can confirm behavior. I am running on sites anger many different errors no matter what way I try.

[Ron-SSG]

Having the same issue.

[bmamouri]

Have the same issue:

    const dom = await JSDOM.fromURL(homepage, {runScripts: 'dangerously'});
    console.log(dom.window.jQuery);

It returns undefined and this error is shown:

[furkanalptokac]

I have the same issue. I'm so surprised that this issue has not been answered for so long.

Error message is same with yours, starts with Error: Uncaught [ReferenceError: $ is not defined].

And also the error message repeats twice.

My code is:

axios.get('https://covid19.saglik.gov.tr/').then(response => {
    const html = response.data;
    const window = new JSDOM(html, {
        runScripts: 'dangerously',
    }).window;
});

[MrSelfisH01]

How is this still not answered? Still getting this error. And no solution to be found.

[loudar]

Also getting this error. Appears to have been one since 2012. No fix in sight?
