I have html elements on my page like this which is on a secure page post the form login
<h4 class="something" id="somethingelse1" style="display: none;">Some Name</h4>
<h4 class="something" id="somethingelse2" style="display: none;">Some other name</h4>
I want to be able to simulate the click of this element which then will load a new page. Once that new page is loaded, I want to take a snapshot of a div element within it. I have got part of taking a snapshot, but I am unable to find a way to click the element based on its text. Like for example simulating the click of the H4 element above where the text was 'Some other name'
This is what I have so far...
var casper = require('casper').create({
pageSettings: {
loadImages: true,
loadPlugins: true
}
});
casper.start('http://localhost/', function() {
console.log("page loaded");
this.fill('form#login-form', {
username: 'lbguy',
password: 'lbguypass'
}, true);
});
casper.thenOpen('http://localhost/MysecureSite/page1', function() {
this.echo(this.getTitle());
var query_xpath = '//*[@innerHtml="Some other name"]';
require('utils').dump(this.getElementAttribute(query_xpath , 'id'));
//casper.start('http://localhost/MysecureSite/page2', function() {
// this.captureSelector('pic.png', '#someelement');
//});
});
After the page title the console just outputs "Null". I'm not sure if this is the right approach as well. The objective is to simulate a click of the H4 element based on a selected text that I will send in programmatically, and then take a snapshot on page2 after that click action loads page 2 of a div called someelement.
UPDATE
The h4 elements are dynamically added to the page by jquery after the page has loaded.
Thanks
Try waiting for your h4
to have been actually added to the DOM, then click on it:
casper.waitForSelector("#somethingelse1").thenClick("#somethingelse1");
