nom cli fails to fetch meta

[hemanth]

nom url 'meta[http-equiv="refresh"]' does not fetch anything even though the url has few many meta tags, but nom url 'head' works fine.

Does nom url meta work? I could imagine that the dash in http-equiv causes the bug.

nom url meta does not work aswell. But this is probably an issue of cheerio.

@silvinci does not seem like a cheerio issue, but more of a CLI issue @matthewmueller help!

[buschtoens]

Can't see a problem in the cli source. Have you tried $.html("meta");?

[hemanth]

@silvinci That works in the script, but how do you do the same on the CLI?

nom url head works but nom url head > meta nor nom url meta works...

[buschtoens]

This is interesting since the selector gets directly passed.

So basically, if it doesn't work in the cli, it should not work in the script. Just can't test it right now.

[hemanth]

@silvinci You are right. There seems to be no return values from html() or text() for meta.

Something as simple as :

if(selector === "meta"){
   console.log($(selector));
}

Is doing the trick for me, but this is just a silly hack, need to paw at cheerio and check why html() is failing for this.

[buschtoens]

So, it's a cheerio issue. Cross-link it here and close? :)

@silvinci Cya there ;)
