casperjs

I have a list of links that I have to simulate a click on using CasperJS. They all share the same class. However using this.click('.click-me') only clicks on the first link. What's the proper way of clicking on all the links? I'm thinking that maybe I should try to get the number of links via evaluate() and then use a for loop. But if I use evaluate() with the number of links I have to use messages to communicate back and that seems complicated. Is there a better way? Tyson Nero I ended up using the nth-child() selector to accomplish this. Here's how... Page: <ul id="links"> <li><a href="#1">1

I would like to automate the process of visiting a website, clicking a button, and saving the file. The only way to download the file on this site is to click a button. You can't navigate to the file using a url. I have been trying to use phantomjs and casperjs to automate this process, but haven't had any success. I recently tried to use brandon's solution here Grab the resource contents in CasperJS or PhantomJS Here is my code for that var fs = require('fs'); var cache = require('./cache'); var mimetype = require('./mimetype'); var casper = require('casper').create(); casper.start('http:/

I'm pretty new to CasperJS, but isn't there a way to open a URL and execute CasperJS commands in for loops? For example, this code doesn't work as I expected it to: casper.then(function() { var counter = 2013; for (i = counter; i < 2014; i++) { var file_name = "./Draws/wimbledon_draw_" + counter + ".json"; // getting some local json files var json = require(file_name); var first_round = json["1"]; for (var key in first_round) { var name = first_round[key].player_1.replace(/\s+/g, '-'); var normal_url = "http://www.atpworldtour.com/Tennis/Players/" + name; // the casper command below only

okay so i am running centos 6.5 with zpanel setup. this then has phantom js and casperjs both setup and working it the /usr/local/bin directory. i use this php command for phantomjs and casperjs echo exec('/usr/local/bin/casperjs --version 2>&1'); phantomjs works fine but casperjs gives me this error sh: /usr/local/bin/casperjs: Permission denied can anyone out there help me fix this problem it is just a pain output for ls -al casperjs [root@cyber-hosted ~]# ls -al casperjs total 100 drwxr-xr-x 10 apache root 4096 Feb 4 15:49 . dr-xr-x---. 5 root root 4096 Feb 4 15:49 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 root root

I'm trying to write a test using CasperJS for a scenario where pressing Enter in an input is the trigger for the page to do something with the text otherwise typed into the input. An abbreviated/simplified version of the CasperJS test: casper.start('http://localhost:3000/input-demo', function() { this.sendKeys('#demo-input', 'demo text'); this.sendKeys('#demo-input', '\uE007'); this.test.assertEquals(this.getHTML('#stage'), 'input demo'); }); casper.run(); (Where we run it as casperjs test this-test.js ) I've verified that sendKeys is getting the text into the input, but that text never shows

I am trying to scrape a webpage which has a form with many dropdowns and values in the form are interdependent. At many point I need the code to wait till the refresh of the page complete. Eg after selecting an option from the list, the code should wait till the next list is populated based on this selection. It would be really helpful if someone could give pointers because strangely my code is working only after I gave so much unnecessary logging statements which in-turn created some delay. Any suggestions to improve the code would be very helpful. var casper = require('casper').create({

How do I create a file in the file system and place the contents of this.getPageContent() inside it? var fs = require('fs'); fs.write(myfile, myData, 'w'); for saving daily scrapes I do: var currentTime = new Date(); var month = currentTime.getMonth() + 1; var day = currentTime.getDate(); var year = currentTime.getFullYear(); var myfile = "data-"+year + "-" + month + "-" + day+".html"; You could also append to a text file using the method below var casper = require('casper').create(); var fs = require('fs'); var fname = new Date().getTime() + '.txt'; var save = fs.pathJoin(fs.workingDirectory,
