Update on stock availability at stores: .. we are currently experiencing supply delays due to COVID-19
Intro
So instead of manually checking if an item is in stock every few days or so (what fun is that?), I decided to learn how to use Puppeteer to write a Node JS script that would programmatically control Chromium (open source project that Google Chrome is based on) to add an item to cart, type in the ZIP code we want and check if there’s the item we want in stock..
Overture (Composing the Script)
I love doing less work whenever I can, so I installed the Headless Recorder extension on my Chrome and started recording my steps. It won’t generate perfect code, but it’s good enough to get iterating and results. Hit ‘Record’ on the extension and run through your scenario above, you should get something like these:
Fugue (Testing)
Testing on Puppetteer is fairly easy, simply keep running the script, watch and make sure it’s working, test the positive and negative, any other edge cases (what if the network times out? What if IKEA starts blocking your IP?) was fairly manual for me.
Postlude (Deploying)
This was easy enough, I just had to copy the file to my old college laptop (that I have running as a Plex media server), open screen and run node ikea.js after running npm install or manually installing the dependencies if I didn’t have a package.json.
Fin
Unsurprisingly, with my procrastination and life in general, IKEA has since updated the website (around Jan 15 2020), thereby breaking my script in the process. I’ve fixed it. Really good reminder to also set up a process that emails you when things break. Since I only found out after SSH -ing in to check on the status.
Order it online
If a product is not available in-store, check to see if it’s available online. Items you buy online, however, are not reserved until you complete the purchase and have received an order confirmation.
Check another IKEA store
If a product is not available in the IKEA store you visit, you could also try checking its availability in another IKEA store.
Check another delivery option
If a product is not available with your preferred delivery option, check if it is available with alternate delivery options.
Check availability in an IKEA store
If a product is not available online with any delivery option, you could also try checking the availability in an IKEA store of your choice. There you’ll have to option to sign up for a back in stock notification when the product is back in stock at that store.

Sweet. Now with that out of the way, let’s then use Headless recorder to generate the other use-cases: Item is in stock, or with many items in the bag and some are out of stock, you’ll get told to remove the items. You can then combine these generated scripts and start refactoring there. Wh…
