Node.js Question
Nightmarejs code stuck with evaluate/then
Based on the example from the github page I wrote the following code:
// There is some stuff before this that loads the page and do a few clicks but it's not relative to the problem
var selector = 'ContentPlaceHolder1_dtlA_lnkB_0';
nightmare
.evaluate(function (selector) {
return document.querySelector(selector).innerText;
}, selector)
.then(function(text) {
console.log(text);
})
However, when I run the code it gets stuck with no output. The browser doesn't even appear.

However, if I comment the .then section. The rest of the code goes fine and the browser appears and does all the steps.
HTML looks like this:
<a id="CContentPlaceHolder1_dtlA_lnkB_0" class="LinkButonDark" href="javascript:__doPostBack('ctl00$ContentPlaceHolder1$dtlA$ctl00$lnkB','')" style="color: #97c1e2; text-transform: capitalize;"><b>SOME TEXT I NEED TO CAPTURE</b></a>
What am I doing wrong?

In their example I always see .end() before .then().
Try this:
var selector = 'ContentPlaceHolder1_dtlA_lnkB_0';
nightmare
.evaluate(function (selector) {
return document.querySelector(selector).innerText;
}, selector)
.end()
.then(function(text) {
console.log(text);
})
