browser.click("button[name=btnK]",wait_load=True)

[goog]

when I browser.load("https://www.google.com/webhp?hl=en&tab=ww") and browser.click("button[name=btnK]",wait_load=True) ,but the click didn't work with message: SpynnerJavascriptError: error on click: jq('button[name=btnK]').simulate('click'); Could you give me a hand , thanks in advance!

[kiorky]

use wk_click, see https://github.com/makinacorpus/spynner/blob/master/src/spynner/browser.py#L694

[kiorky]

basically, jquery.simulate which is under the hood of the click() method isnt supported anymore, the .click method is only there for historical and backward compatiblity purpose.

[kiorky]

Be aware that the selector is not a jquery one but a webkit (so more a strick xpath) one.

Hi, kiorky! spynner is a great python app! I'm a beginner to use it and want to make requests to google search , I have tried half a day but failed . my code is below: import spynner browser = spynner.Browser() browser.load("http://www.google.com") browser.create_webview() browser.show() browser.wk_fill("input[name=q]", "hola")

In [9]: browser.url

Out[9]: u'http://www.google.com.hk/'

browser.click("input[name=btnK]")

browser.wk_click("input[name=btnK]",wait_load=True)

when it runs to the last line, the ipython seems to do nothing and no result outputs.

Hey, pal! I tried browser.sendKeys('input#lst-ib', [Qt.Key_Enter]) just , yet didnt work ,the command line runs without error and the webview has no changes. Maybe there is something error in my development env (ubuntu12.04) or .....(BWT i click the search btn in the webview with mouse , it didn't go)

[kiorky]

[name=*] is not xpath.

[kiorky]

sendkeys is used to send raw keyboard letters, for the record.

[goog]

sorry,I am not familar with xml .XPath uses path expressions to navigate in XML documents (from w3c) . Is there a xml document or is it generated by some function? Pal, could you help me hack a example or give some tutorials? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

[kiorky]

For the Os environement, just check that your PyQT package is compatible with the QT libraries installed .

[kiorky]

just commited this sample code in the examples folder:

https://github.com/makinacorpus/spynner/blob/master/examples/anothergoogle.py

[goog]

Great ! Thanks very much!

[goog]

Hey,kiorky! this line :br.wk_fill('input[name="q"]', 'kiorky') , if I want to search an item like "谷歌"(a string 'google' in Chinese in utf8) , how to do it?

[goog]

Hi,kiorky! In browser.py line:957 element.evaluateJavaScript("this.value = '%s'" % value) ,when the value is a utf8(not a english query)string,it become messy code in webview , give a hand please!

[hakerjack]

Just found a workaround for this issue. Use trigger method of jQuery instead of simulate.

[goog]

Hey @hakerjack ! a workaround? how to do it?

[hakerjack]

Hi goog,

In the click method from the source code, try replace the jscode: "%s('%s').simulate('click');" to "%s('%s').trigger('click');

[goog]

Thanks! I tried the new version,filling u'string' is OK

[kiorky]

What did you tried ? spynner2.0 or hackerjack comment ? To be clear, Use spynner 2 and refers to pypi docs on how to click.

[goog]

It's spynner2 and a previous anothergoogle.py example

[kiorky]

And have you a problem with it ?

[goog]

now is ok , thx!
