const extractArticle = importer.import("extract llm article")
const getClient = importer.import("selenium client")

async function testExtractor(startPage) {

    startPage = 'https://tsakraklides.com/2025/02/05/in-the-age-of-infinite-consumer-choice-the-only-choice-is-collapse/'

module.exports = testExtractor

What the code could have been:

const { extractLlmArticle, getWebDriver } = require('./importer'); // Import functions directly for clarity

/**

 * @param {string} [startPage] The URL of the article to extract.
 * @returns {Promise} The extracted article data.
 */
async function testExtractor(startPage = 'https://tsakraklides.com/2025/02/05/in-the-age-of-infinite-consumer-choice-the-only-choice-is-collapse/') {
  // Initialize the Selenium client
  const driver = await getWebDriver();

  try {
    // Extract the article data from the webpage
    const result = await extractLlmArticle(driver, startPage);

    // Return the extracted article data
    return result;
  } catch (error) {
    // Handle any errors that occur during the extraction process
    console.error('Error extracting article:', error);
    throw error;
  } finally {
    // Quit the Selenium client when done
    await driver.quit();
