Steps

  1. register page.on('console', msg => { ... }) before navigating, so messages logged during page load are also captured
  2. call msg.text() to get the human-readable log text, and msg.args() to access underlying JSHandles for structured logged objects
  3. register page.on('pageerror', err => { ... }) to capture uncaught exceptions thrown in the page context, separate from console.error calls
  4. assert in the test that no unexpected 'error'-type console messages or pageerror events occurred during the flow
  5. collect messages into an array across the whole test and flush/report them at the end rather than asserting on each event individually
