t.getBrowserConsoleMessages Method

Returns messages posted to the browser console. Cannot be chained with other methods of the test controller.

t.getBrowserConsoleMessages() → Promise<Object>

This method returns an object that contains the following fields.

Field	Type	Description
error	Array of String	Error messages printed in the console.
warn	Array of String	Warning messages printed in the console.
log	Array of String	Log messages printed in the console.
info	Array of String	Information messages printed in the console.

Note that this method returns only messages posted via the console.error, console.warn, console.log and console.info methods. Messages output by the browser (like when an unhandled exception occurs on the page) will not be returned.

Example

// check-console-messages.js
import { t } from 'testcafe';

export default async function () {
    const { error, log } = await t.getBrowserConsoleMessages();

    await t.expect(error[0]).notOk();
    await t.expect(log[0]).eql('Typed name is Name');
}

// test.js
import checkConsoleMessages from './check-console-messages';

fixture`TestController.getBrowserConsoleMessages`
    .page`./index.html`
    .afterEach(() => checkConsoleMessages());

test('Send name', async t => {
    await t
        .typeText('#name', 'Name')
        .click('#button');
});
