PhantomJS/CasperJS crash on clicking a link

Which version of PhantomJS are you using? 1.8.1

What steps will reproduce the problem? casper.start('https://www.peco.com/_layouts/peco/login.aspx');

casper.thenEvaluate(function (user, pass) { $('input[id$="txtUserName"]').val(user); $('input[id$="txtPassword"]').val(pass); }, Username, Password);

casper.thenClick('a[id$="lnkSignIn"]');

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? Crash occurs, but only with valid credentials. Javascript navigates to a page and then redirects to another page. Sorry, I obviously can't provide credentials here

Win 7 64 bit SP1

Did you use binary PhantomJS or did you compile it from source? Latest Binary

Verified that crash occurs even without using CasperJS

Reproduced the issue without needing valid credentials:

casper.start('https://www.peco.com/Pages/Home.aspx');

casper.thenClick('a[id$=\"lnkSignIn\"]'); //crashes here

casper.run();

does not crash on ubuntu 12.10

does not crash on win7 64bit version 1.7, but crashes on 1.8 and 1.8.1. Seems to be a regression between 1.7 -> 1.8

have noticed a similar issue crashing also after [debug] [phantom] Navigation requested: url=about:blank, type=Other, lock=true,isMainFrame=false . also on 1.8

I'm also experiencing this issue. About 50% to 60% of the time, casper hangs when I click a link. The output in verbose mode shows that it hangs right before the "Successfully injected Casper client-side utilities" step.

[debug] [phantom] opening url: http://xxx, HTTP GET [debug] [phantom] Navigation requested: url=http://xxx, type=Other, lock=true, isMainFrame=true [debug] [phantom] url changed to "http://xxx" SOMETIMES HANGS HERE [debug] [phantom] Successfully injected Casper client-side utilities

(Note: I removed the url)

Has there been any progress on this issue? Thanks!

[heylookltsme]

FWIW, I solved the problem I was having by separating all my link clickthru tests into separate files and executing them one by one.

@heylookltsme Please try with version 1.9.1.

[heylookltsme]

@ariya Just tried and it's still an issue for me, unfortunately. Still freezes up in the same spot - right after the "url changed" step.

[ariya]

@heylookltsme Can you come up with a reproduceable test script? Even better if it is using PhantomJS directly.

Hi evryone.

i'm having a issue with a casperjs script. I'd be very glad to find some help. Then let me explain what happens to me:

i'm trying to log in on a website hosted in my computer, the mail and password are correct but i can not reach the proper page after i have submited the form. Here is the script I wrote:

var casper = require('casper').create({ verbose: true, logLevel: "debug", localToRemoteUrlAccessEnabled: true, loadPlugins: true, XSSAuditingEnabled: true });

casper.userAgent('Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)');

//Le bloc ci-dessous vérifie que sur la age atteinte, le contenu de la balise tilte soit Nuke // dans le cas contraire elle affiche le message page Nuke indisponible

casper.start('http://nuke.dev.brandministry.fr/login', function() { this.evaluateOrDie(function() { return 'Nuke'.match(document.title); }, 'Page nuke indisponible'); });

//le bloc ci-dessous remplit les champs email et password de la page de loginn casper.then(function() { this.fill('form', { 'email': 'abdelwahid.benslimane@brandministry.fr', 'password': 'jshshshslhih'

}, true);

});

casper.then(function() { this.echo('on est sur la page: '+this.getCurrentUrl());});

casper.run();

and this is the output:

wahid@pluton:~$ casperjs testpage.js [info] [phantom] Starting... [info] [phantom] Running suite: 4 steps [debug] [phantom] opening url: http://nuke.dev.brandministry.fr/login, HTTP GET [debug] [phantom] Navigation requested: url=http://nuke.dev.brandministry.fr/login, type=Other, lock=true, isMainFrame=true [debug] [phantom] url changed to "http://nuke.dev.brandministry.fr/login" [debug] [phantom] Successfully injected Casper client-side utilities [info] [phantom] Step 2/4 http://nuke.dev.brandministry.fr/login (HTTP 200) [info] [phantom] Step 2/4: done in 238ms.

the current url should be http://nuke.dev.brandministry.fr/lhome?1 or http://nuke.dev.brandministry.fr/lhome?2 or http://nuke.dev.brandministry.fr/lhome? followed by any number, instead of http://nuke.dev.brandministry.fr/login;jsessionid=7D9EAD0DBE80379A5BB0295B3067D6BB

I really don't why it doesn't work, this is my first script, i'm trying to learn using casperjs becaus it would be helpful for my job. Thanks in advance

[wahidparis]

has it anything to do with cokies enabling? so how do we enable cookies in a casperjs script? i tried phantom.cookiesEnabled = true; but it doesn't work
