Phantomjs: Event.popstate is fired on start any page

Created on 28 Aug 2014 · 8Comments · Source: ariya/phantomjs

var page = require('webpage').create();

page.onConsoleMessage = function(msg, lineNum, sourceId) {
    console.log('CONSOLE: ' + msg + ' (from line #' + lineNum + ' in "' + sourceId + '")');
};

page.open('data:text/html,'+
  '<body><script>window.addEventListener("popstate", function () { console.log("Event popstate")}); </script></body>',
  function (status) {
    console.log(status);
});

In chorme and firefox is event is fired only when the url to accessed was placed in the history with history.pushState or history.replaceState

This behavior on phantomjs is the same presenting in some old versions of chrome

stale

@alex-voigt kind of annoying, but i attached the listener using a timeout (just to fix my tests 😦 )

setTimeout((function() {
  window.onpopstate = function(event) {
    return window.location.href = window.location.href;
  };
}), 1000);

Due to our very limited maintenance capacity, we need to prioritize our development focus on other tasks. Therefore, this issue will be automatically closed (see #15395 for more details). In the future, if we see the need to attend to this issue again, then it will be reopened. Thank you for your contribution!
