[Question]: how can I access async response's body in the predicate?

[Yxue-1906]

Your question

I can simply do this with sync api but I have no idea how to with async api;
I've tried code like:

def check(response):
  body_text = response.text()
  # check if it is the response I need

async def foo():
  page = await browser.new_page()
  async with page.expect_response(url_or_predicate=check) as res:
    #other job

but only got error said coroutine returned by response.text() needs await;
if I change check to async function I got another error said check needs await.
what is the correct way accessing response's body with async api?

Based on the impl, it looks like the predicate cannot be an async function today.

As a workaround, you can create and await a Future instead of using the built in page.expect_response for this case:

# set up your listener and future
matched_response_fut = asyncio.Future()
async def is_matching(response: Response):
    body = await response.text()
    if body == "some text you're looking for":
        matched_response_fut.set_result(response)
page.on("response", is_matching)


# take your action(s) that will actually trigger the response
# e.g. navigation, clicking, etc.
# …

# await and use your matched response
response = await matched_response_fut
