shell) headlessly on linux server through Nightmare.js
I am building a scraper to make JS single page applications easily crawlable.
After some incredible frustration with PhantomJS (memory leaks, outdated webkit, undead processes, among many other problems) I decided to switch to NightmareJS which can do the same things but uses Electron under the hood. Electron has a lot of advantages (uses latest chromium , is a lot faster) but it needs an X server to run.
As I need to make it work under ubuntu server, I followed this gist . Now I have a great EC2 instance with everything ready to run an headless electron
xvfb-run electron
The point is that I need to run this through nightmareJS (which I will use in a node.js server script). I was wondering how I could pass parameters to nightmare in order to start electron through svfb
我不知道是否有更好的方法，但至少对我的作品使用xvfb-run命令运行主流程：
$ xvfb-run node --harmony simple-service.js
