I currently run browser tests via PhantomJS + Selenium in Python.
desired_capabilities = dict(DesiredCapabilities.PHANTOMJS)
desired_capabilities["phantomjs.page.settings.userAgent"] = ("Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_10_2) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/40.0.2214.115 Safari/537.36")
driver = webdriver.PhantomJS(executable_path="./phantomjs", desired_capabilities=desired_capabilities)
driver.get('http://google.com')
This works fine, unless the page I'm trying to get has a redirect on it.
Example:
https://login.vrealizeair.vmware.com/
In this case, the get doesn't work properly. The page source is empty: <html><head></head></body></html>.
This is a known issue with solutions posted that involve adding a snippet of code to handle redirects appropriately.
How/where do you add this code if you're running tests with Selenium (in my first code snippet)? Is it part of desired_capabilties?
Example:
page.onNavigationRequested = function(url, type, willNavigate, main) {
if (main && url!=myurl) {
myurl = url;
console.log("redirect caught")
page.close()
renderPage(url);
}
};
page.open(url, function(status) {
if (status==="success") {
console.log(myurl);
console.log("success")
page.render('yourscreenshot.png');
phantom.exit(0);
} else {
console.log("failed")
phantom.exit(1);
}
});
I tried it with PhantomJS 1.9.8 and 2.0.1-development.
It turns out the page couldn't be crawled due an error: SSL handshake failed.
The solution is to use the following line to initialize the driver:
driver = webdriver.PhantomJS(executable_path="./phantomjs", service_args=['--ignore-ssl-errors=true'])
