Puppeteer-IE\n\nHeadless **Internet Explorer** NodeJS API inspired by [Puppeteer](https://pptr.dev/).\n\n**[ Notice ]**  [Microsoft Edge](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/microsoft-edge) isn't supported by this package as it utilizes [ActiveX](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms693753),\nwhereas Edge uses the [WebDriver protocol](https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/webdriver/) \u0026 [DevTools Protocol](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/devtools-protocol/) for automation.\nSo you can control it by [Selenium](http://seleniumhq.github.io/selenium/docs/api/javascript/) or [Edge diagnostics adapter](https://github.com/Microsoft/edge-diagnostics-adapter).\n\n[![Build Status](https://dev.azure.com/shiy2008/shiy2008/_apis/build/status/TechQuery.Puppeteer-IE?branchName=master)](https://dev.azure.com/shiy2008/shiy2008/_build/latest?definitionId=1?branchName=master)\n\n[![NPM](https://nodei.co/npm/puppeteer-ie.png?downloads=true\u0026downloadRank=true\u0026stars=true)](https://nodei.co/npm/puppeteer-ie/)\n\n\n\n## Installation\n\n```Shell\nnpm install puppeteer-ie --save-dev\n```\n\n**[ Notice ]**  If you get some error at installing, try to execute the command below:\n\n```Shell\nnpm install windows-build-tools --global --production\n```\n([More about this](https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp#option-1))\n\n\n\n## Usage\n\nOnly change the Package Name, and then do as [Puppeteer does](https://pptr.dev/#?product=Puppeteer\u0026version=v1.5.0).\n\n**[ Recommendation ]**  Use [DayDream](https://github.com/segmentio/daydream) to record operation scripts in [Google Chrome](https://www.google.com/chrome/).\n\n**API document** accesses from https://techquery.github.io/Puppeteer-IE/, `npm docs` or `npm run help`.\n\n\n\n## Known issue\n\n 1. *Loading pages* of IE will be blocked if a *Web server* running in the same *NodeJS process*\n\n 2. *Loading pages* from `localhost` will lost the `window` object in *NodeJS process*\n\nFor the above reasons, I recommend using [KoApache](https://www.npmjs.com/package/koapache) to [host your Web pages for testing](https://github.com/TechQuery/Puppeteer-IE/blob/master/test/Page.js#L19) or other things.\n\n\n\n##
