I'm using a headless browser (phantomjs) in conjunction with Mink to do some functional testing on my Website.
Now in this setting, files can not be downloaded regularly e.g: by clicking a link. So I have to extract the url from the link or the button, and download the file manually.
As I just stated sometimes there is no link () for the download, but a button in a Form (e.g: Inputting data for a report in the form, and receiving the report file on submission).
So what I need to do is simulate clicking the link or button and extract the Data for the Request that would have been sent, and use that data to download the file manually.
Is there a way to do this?
Note: I'm using guzzle to actually download the file.
Mmmm... I don't know if you solved this and only as an alternative to typical mink methods. As Phantomjs is a javascript based browser engine, did you tried with javascript?
You could try something like this:
public function getElementHref($element)
{
/* #var FeatureContext $this */
$function = "(function(){
//Javascript method to get the href.
})()";
try {
return $this->featureContext->getSession()->evaluateScript($function);
} catch (Exception $e) {
throw new Exception('Element not found');
}
}
You can find a method to do this in javascript here: How to get anchor text/href on click using jQuery?
Then use the URL returned with file_get_contents (depending on the file type) and that's it.

I built a Webview browser application on an Android 11 device that knows how to open all links perfectly! But it does not open the dynamic links of Google Forms either dynamically or directly (when I copy the final address that opens on my computer), the application completely crashes and closes! I did not find any useful information on Google only regarding dynamic links to Firebase - I added the functionality as required, but to no avail! For Dodge:
Dynamic: https://forms.gle/uJq3pGPJhqZGYzLC6
, Direct: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd8PZt648GmhALFyykBTflSiU8b9_e-h3gVfY6ZBcF9-N0HbQ/viewform
Dynamic: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScnkyROLo8VavCmaRagZb6eiucxjCdkOs6blijHwe34vFXO6g/viewform?usp=sf_link ,
direct: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScnkyROLo8VavCmaRagZb6eiucxjCdkOs6blijHwe34vFXO6g/viewform
I tried to add dynamic links to the firebase SDK, and In AndroidManifest.xml, add an intent filter to the activity that handles deep links for your app. And I also called to call the getDynamicLink() in OnCreate() but the links never reached this event.
Direct reading ON 'shouldOverrideUrlLoading' didn't help either because the application crashes before it gets here, that is, something goes wrong with the dynamic search and even in debugging it disrupts the URL completely:
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading (WebView view, String url) {
if(url.contains("https://docs.google.com/forms/") && url.contains("/viewform"))
{
try {
url= "https://"+ url.split("https://")[url.split("https://").length-1].split("viewform")[0].trim()+"viewform";
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, e.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
url = "https://www.google.com";
}
}
mWebView.loadUrl(url);
return true;
}
I have a pop up that is called through a java script, the same pop up without a JavaScript is an ctp page in cakephp. How can I hide that page from users and search engines going to access it like: /users/register
Is there anything that can be done in .htaccess or cakephp to prevent access to it through /users/register
Remove register.ctp file from users folder and create one in ajax folder users/ajax/register.ctp, then use RequestHandler component to inspect request type:
public function register()
{
if($this->request->is('ajax')){
// add registration code here
} else {
//Throw new error
}
}
I have FileResult Controller Action that can take a couple minutes to run under some circumstances. I would like to provide our users a visual indication that the Action is running, such as a message, a spinner, or a progress bar. The trouble is, I'm having a tough time figuring out how to "detect" on the front end that the Action has completed.
I have been toying with Ajax calls to the FileResult Action, but that doesn't work because Ajax can't return a file to the browser. I also looked at Asynchronous Actions and Tasks, but it looks like FileResult does not support the "await" keyword, which I think is necessary.
At this point, I don't know what to try next, and am very open to thoughts/ideas.
Edit:
I got this working as bobek suggested. Basically, I saved the PDF file to disk, and returned the file path as an ActionResult Content(fullFilePath). Then, on my page, I used something like this to display a little spinner gif while the Action executed, and then a link to the file after it completed.
var img = $("img#reportLoadingIcon");
var link = $('a#exportedFileLink');
link.hide();
img.show();
$.ajax({
url: url,
success: function (result) {
link.attr({target: '_blank', href: result});
link.show();
img.hide();
}
});
You could make it a regular POST action called via AJAX, and instead of returning a File you can return path to file and redirect the user to that path.
I'm trying to automate an application that uses form security in order to upload a file and then scrape data from the returned HTML.
I started out using the solution from this question. I can define my steps and get through the entire workflow as long as the last step is rendering the page.
Here are the two steps that are the meat of my script:
function() {
page.open("https://remotesite.com/do/something", function(status) {
if ('success' === status) {
page.uploadFile('input[name=file]', 'x.csv');
page.evaluate(function() {
// assignButton is used to associate modules with an account
document.getElementById("assignButton").click();
});
}
});
},
function() {
page.render('upload-results.png');
page.evaluate(function() {
var results = document.getElementById("moduleProcessingReport");
console.log("results: " + results);
});
},
When I run the script, I see that the output render is correct. However, the evaluate part isn't working. I can confirm that my DOM selection is correct by running it in the Javascript console while on the remote site.
I have seen other questions, but they revolve around using setTimeout. Unfortunately, the step strategy from the original approach already has a timeout.
UPDATE
I tried a slightly different approach, using this post and got similar results. I believe that document uses an older PhantomJS API, so I used the 'onLoadFinished' event to drive between steps.
i recomend you use casperjs or if you use PJS's webPage.injectScript() you could load up jquery and then your own script to do form input/navigation.
Is there an option in DOJO where files can be uploaded by Drag and Drop from desktop to the browser?
No I dont believe so. As outlined here and here its not really possible to do without using a plugin.
Old post, but still one of those posts being found by google easily. For those interested how to do this:
Have a look at this SO answer
Dojo overview of how to use its Uploader (styled as a button)
Use addDropTarget to link a dropArea for that uploader (for HTML5-enabled browsers -- see also first link))
To make the drop target visibly react to drag events, I had to connect directly to browser events like ondragenter or ondragleave (see code snippet below)
createUploader: function() {
// ... define uploader and droptarget
d_on(this.dropArea, "dragover", d_lang.hitch(this, this.dropAreaOver));
d_on(this.dropArea, "dragleave", d_lang.hitch(this, this.dropAreaLeave));
d_on(this.dropArea, "drop", d_lang.hitch(this, this.dropAreaLeave));
}
dropAreaOver: function(evt) {
evt.preventDefault();
domClass.add(this.dropArea, "dropAreaOver");
},
dropAreaLeave: function(evt) {
evt.preventDefault();
domClass.remove(this.dropArea, "dropAreaOver");
}
