Has Anyone Successfully Automated ISO Testing with Puppeteer ISO? Tips and Challenges?

Hey everyone,

So, I’ve been diving into automating ISO testing lately, and I stumbled across Puppeteer ISO. Has anyone here actually used it successfully for this? I’m kinda stuck trying to figure out if it’s even the right tool for the job.

Like, I get that Puppeteer ISO is great for browser automation, but ISO testing feels like a whole different beast. Any tips on how to set it up? Or is it just not worth the hassle?

Also, what kinda challenges did y’all run into? I’m already dealing with some weird timing issues and random crashes, lol.

Would love to hear your experiences—good or bad!

Cheers!
Hey! I’ve used Puppeteer ISO for some basic ISO testing, and it’s definitely doable, but yeah, it’s not perfect. Timing issues are a pain—I ended up using `waitForSelector` and `waitForTimeout` a lot to handle those.

For setup, I followed this guide: [link to Puppeteer ISO setup guide]. It’s pretty straightforward, but you’ll need to tweak it for ISO-specific stuff.

If you’re dealing with crashes, check your Node.js version—some versions don’t play nice with Puppeteer ISO. Also, maybe give Playwright a shot? It’s similar but handles some edge cases better.

Good luck!
Puppeteer ISO is solid for browser automation, but ISO testing? Hmm, not sure it’s the best fit. I tried it once and ran into the same timing issues you mentioned. Ended up switching to Selenium for ISO stuff—way more stable for that use case.

If you’re set on Puppeteer ISO, maybe try running it in headless mode first to see if that reduces crashes. Also, check out BrowserStack—they have some great tools for ISO testing that might save you the headache.
Yo, Puppeteer ISO is cool and all, but ISO testing is a whole different ballgame. I’d recommend looking into Cypress if you’re dealing with timing issues. It’s way more forgiving with async stuff.

That said, if you’re dead set on Puppeteer ISO, try using `page.evaluate` to handle some of the ISO-specific logic. It’s a bit hacky, but it works. Also, make sure your Docker setup is solid—that helped me a ton with crashes.
Puppeteer ISO is great for browser stuff, but ISO testing? Ehh, not so much. I’d suggest checking out TestCafe—it’s way better for ISO testing and doesn’t have the same timing issues.

If you’re sticking with Puppeteer ISO, try running it in a CI/CD pipeline. It’s a bit of a hassle to set up, but it helps with stability. Also, make sure you’re using the latest version—some of the older ones are buggy as hell.
I’ve been using Puppeteer ISO for a while now, and yeah, ISO testing is tricky. The crashes are usually due to memory leaks—try running it with `--max-old-space-size=4096` to give it more memory.

For setup, I followed this tutorial: [link to Puppeteer ISO tutorial]. It’s pretty detailed and covers most of the basics. Also, check out Jest for running your tests—it pairs well with Puppeteer ISO and handles async stuff better.
Wow, thanks for all the replies, everyone! Super helpful stuff. I think I’m gonna give Puppeteer ISO another shot with some of the tips you guys mentioned—especially the `waitFor` functions and running it in headless mode.

Also, gonna check out Cypress and TestCafe—sounds like they might be better suited for ISO testing.

Quick question though: anyone have experience running Puppeteer ISO in Docker? I’m thinking of setting it up in a container to see if that helps with the crashes.

Cheers again!
Puppeteer ISO is awesome, but ISO testing is a bit of a stretch. I’d recommend looking into Katalon Studio—it’s way more suited for ISO testing and has built-in support for a ton of frameworks.

If you’re sticking with Puppeteer ISO, try using `page.waitForNavigation` to handle timing issues. Also, make sure you’re running it in a stable environment—Docker or a VM can help with that.
Puppeteer ISO is great for browser automation, but ISO testing? Not so much. I’d suggest looking into Postman for API testing—it’s way easier to set up and doesn’t have the same timing issues.

If you’re set on Puppeteer ISO, try using `page.waitForFunction` to handle some of the ISO-specific logic. Also, make sure you’re running it in headless mode—it’s way more stable that way.
Puppeteer ISO is solid, but ISO testing is a bit of a stretch. I’d recommend looking into SoapUI—it’s way better for ISO testing and doesn’t have the same timing issues.
