Opening local html file with SlimerJS

I have a script that works in PhantomJS, but I am trying to migrate to SlimerJS. When I try to open a local file, I get an error:

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

page.viewportSize = { width: 2048, height: 1536 };
console.log('Processing',system.args[1]);
page.open(
  'simple.html',
  function start(status) {
    setTimeout(function(){
      page.render(system.args[2], {format: 'png'});
      phantom.exit();
    },1000);
  }
);

simple.html

is a file located in the same directory as the script. As a result, PNG says "Address not found", "simple.html not found. Please check the name and try again."

I've also tried:

  • full path to OS, for example /User/blah/blah/simple.html

  • File URI file:///Users/blah/blah/simple.html

They give a similar result.

I'd rather not have the script publicly available for various reasons. Can I run a local file using SlimerJS?

I do not think that's possible. Reading documents specifies the url.

I got around this by running a http server

python -m SimpleHTTPServer


Then access it via localhost.

page.open('http://localhost:8000/simple.html',...)

The file URI works. Something like file:///Users/name/project/file.html

.
