I am trying to render a a javascript evaluated source code from a website using phantomjs. But every time I try i only get the source code as is (similar to view source from the browser). What I actually want is the javascript evaluated code (what we see from inspect element from google chrome browser). My code looks like this:

var page = require('webpage').create();
page.open('/', function (s) {
    console.log(page.content);
    phantom.exit();
});

Am I doing something wrong here?

This did the trick for me:

window.setTimeout(function () {
        page.render(output);
        phantom.exit();
    }, 1000);

Likely yes. In many cases, the JavaScript code on the web page is not executed immediately. You can take this into account by giving a little delay, e.g. using setTimeout, before taking the value of page.content.
