Simon 5 is coming soon!
Simon version 5 is currently in beta testing. It is a massive update, introducing a much-requested feature: syncing the Simon data between multiple Macs, plus a Simon Status service, a Link Checker filter, improved Find filter, iMessage and Speak Error notifiers, a new app icon, and much more.
Important: please note that Simon 5 requires a minimum of macOS 10.12 (Sierra), and will be a paid upgrade from Simon 4 after the beta. Purchasers since September 1, 2020 automatically get a version 5 license (that also works in previous versions).
Re: Help: Need to check for content dynamically populated into d
What portion of that page is dynamically generated?
Simon's Smart Change Detection feature is useful to check just a portion of the source, but if the content is dynamically loaded into the page after loading, that does make it harder. Simon just fetches the source, it doesn't render it (at least in the current versions; that may change in the future).
You could instead check the URL of the dynamic content, to see if that is outputting the correct content.
the dynamic content is
the dynamic content is delivered by an embedded AJAX client that makes a call to our Convert profiling server (to determine what content to deliver to the DIV)... so there's no real URL to query (unfortunately). I'm assuming that adding rendering is a fairly major endeavor?
Thanks! Great software.
Re: the dynamic content
Yes, adding rendering checking would be a major change. As mentioned, it's something I'm thinking of adding in the future (maybe even later this year)... but no promises.
In the meantime, there may still be a way to monitor it, if you can somehow extract out the server query (e.g. perhaps a Port-based service to query the server from Simon?).
