.end()
.then(function (result) {
console.log(result)
})
.catch(function (error) {
console.error('Error:', error);
});
restart

Just tried it out in the latest chrome and no action ever gets captured

[ChristosChristofidis]

Did you solve this?

[PManager1]

@ChristosChristofidis nope

[czechdave]

@ChristosChristofidis solved by deleting the plugin

[ThomasDotCodes]

Same issue here... I just installed the plugin for the first time on fresh install of chrome as well. Not sure if @czechdave is suggesting to delete and reinstall -- but that didn't have any effect.

For me, it depends on the site. For example it works on github.com but not www.bbc.co.uk/news.

Chiming in because I really want to use this plugin heavily, now, but it seems to be severely broken. Some environment details:

• OS: Mac High Sierra - 10.13.4 (17E202)
• Browser: Google Chrome Version 67.0.3396.62 (Official Build) (64-bit)

I've tried to use this on several sites (localhost projects, Github, Medium, Bugsnag) and I've only gotten it to record anything 2 times. Both were after restarting Chrome but now that isn't even working (on the same sites).

Is there anything else I can provide to assist in debugging this? Any workarounds to try? A fix in the pipeline?

Follow-up: The extension icon does highlight green when starting and turns black when stopping. I get the script pop-up but it contains the default, empty script. I can restart but no activity gets recorded.

const Nightmare = require('nightmare')
const nightmare = Nightmare({ show: true })

nightmare

.end()
.then(function (result) {
  console.log(result)
})
.catch(function (error) {
  console.error('Error:', error);
});

Exact same for me El El jue, 31 may 2018 a las 0:09, Zachary Abresch <notifications@github.com> escribió:

I'm also interested in having this plugin work again. I'm seeing it throws some errors when not on github.com (was able to make it work there). Is this project being actively worked on? If so, can this issue be escalated? It seems to make the extension unusable currently.

[CarlosDomingues]

Same issue, nothing gets captured besides typing.

Hey guys, figured out the issue. The script that registers "events" doesn't start until after you go to a new page or refresh. Until this can get fixed, this should work:

1. Start Daydream recording.
2. Refresh the page or go to a new page using the same window/tab.
3. Use as per normal.

[zacharyabresch]

WOW!!!! @MynockSpit you 🚀! I can confirm that this works. I tested it with a localhost domain, Github, & Google:

const Nightmare = require('nightmare')
const nightmare = Nightmare({ show: true })

nightmare
.goto('https://github.com/')
.click('.my-3 > .Box-body > .list-style-none > :nth-child(1) > .width-full > .mb-2 > :nth-child(2)')
.click('.reponav > :nth-child(2) > .js-selected-navigation-item')
.end()
.then(function (result) {
  console.log(result)
})
.catch(function (error) {
  console.error('Error:', error);
});

const Nightmare = require('nightmare')
const nightmare = Nightmare({ show: true })

nightmare
.goto('https://www.google.com/')
.type('#lst-ib', 'Daydream extension')
.click(':nth-child(8) > :nth-child(1) > .rc > .r > a')
.goto('https://github.com/segmentio/daydream')
.end()
.then(function (result) {
  console.log(result)
})
.catch(function (error) {
  console.error('Error:', error);
});

This seems like it could be a pretty straightforward fix but I've never peeked at the Daydream source so I really have no idea what the LOE would be. Either way, this is awesome and I'm gonna go automate all the things now.

BTW, I wouldn't consider this issue "closed" but that's really up to the repo owners.

[zacharyabresch]

There are still some serious issues with this extension picking up actions while navigating pages. Especially SPAs ... I rarely get more than one or two clicks before the tracking bails out. Pretty disappointing but hey, at least it's working so it's a step forward.

[MynockSpit]

Could be two things:

1. Clicks are only currently registered on button and inputs. Maybe you have onClick on divs?
2. goto takes a while to get registered -- seems like the page has to completely settle before it registers a goto.

And yeah, they're both pretty simple fixes. We just need someone to approve and merge PRs. :)
