# Scraping and verification
-Playwright allows verifiying state of the page and catching abnormal behavior by:
- - evaluating JavaScript code snippets in the page
- - capturing screenshots (png or jpeg)
- - listening console messages
- - observing uncaghut exceptions in the page
- - observing page crashes
- - etc

-## Listening console messages
+## Page events
-Listen all console messages in a page and dump _errors_ in to the terminal:
+You can listen for various events on the `page` object. Following are just some of the examples of the events you can assert and handle:
+
+#### "`console`" - get all console messages from the page
```js
- // Get all console messages from the page.
- page.on('console', msg => {
- // Handle only errors.
- if (msg.type() !== 'error')
- return;
- console.log(`text: "${msg.text()}"`);
- });
-
- await page.evaluate(() => console.error('Page error message'));
+page.on('console', msg => {
+ // Handle only errors.
+ if (msg.type() !== 'error')
+ return;
+ console.log(`text: "${msg.text()}"`);
+});
```
-Get access to the console message arguments:
+
+#### "`dialog`" - Handle assert, confirm, prompt
+
```js
- page.on('console', msg => {
- for (let i = 0; i < msg.args().length; ++i)
- console.log(`${i}: ${msg.args()[i]}`);
- });
+page.on('dialog', dialog => {
+ dialog.accept();
+});
+```
+
+#### "`popup`" - Handle assert, confirm, prompt
+
+```js
+const [popup] = await Promise.all([
+ page.waitForEvent('popup'),
+ page.click('#open')
+]);
```
