Setting page and form with casperjs - casperjs

Question

Hello i need to scrape the result information in my site with browser automation. I have this script:
var casper = require('casper').create();
console.log("casper create OK");
casper.start("https://portale.spefin.it/anagraph/legalperson/atc", function() {
console.log("Connexion URL OK");
// set a wait condition to make sure the page is loaded (particularly iframe in my case)
//fill out the form
this.fillSelectors("form[name='login']",{
'input#username' : "XXXXXXXXX",
'input#pw' : "XXXXXXXX"
});
console.log("Renseignement login et pass OK");
// click the login button
this.click("button[type='submit']");
console.log("Passage bouton login OK");
// switch to iframe (won't be necessary for most)
this.page.switchToChildFrame('https://portale.spefin.it/anagraph/legalperson/atc');
console.log("Switch page OK");
this.wait(5000,function(){
console.log("Attente 5 sec OK");
this.fillSelectors("form[name='advancedFilterForm']",{
'input#tax_code' : "11057560150"
});
console.log("partita iva ok!");
// Test d'une zone sur la page pour valider la connexion
//casper.waitForSelector('.area-status', function() {
//console.log("Validation element sur la page OK");
//});
});
});
The problem is the page is not set and the form is not found....please help me!

Answer 1

first of all I would recommend using verbose and logLevel for testing like so:
var casper = require('casper').create({
verbose: true,
logLevel: "debug"
});
Also you could use the then promise more often. Trust me it helps a bunch.
Using waitForSelector for the rescue.
Bellow find a different version of your code.
casper.start("https://portale.spefin.it/anagraph/legalperson/atc").then(function(){
this.waitForSelector("form[name='login']", function(){
/*form found*/
//the [true] parameter will submit the form, no need for the button click
this.fillSelectors("form[name='login']",{
'input#username' : "XXXXXXXXX",
'input#pw' : "XXXXXXXX"
}, true);
this.then(function(){
//possibly no need for the wait but...
//if you really want to use it
this.wait(5000,function(){
//In my honest opinion you don't need the [switchToChildFrame]
//but instead use [waitForSelector]
this.waitForSelector("form[name='advancedFilterForm']", function(){
/*form found*/
//the [true] parameter will submit the form
this.fillSelectors("form[name='advancedFilterForm']",{
'input#tax_code' : "11057560150"
}, true);
this.then(function(){
this.waitForSelector(".area-status", function(){
/*element found*/
//do what you must perhaps get the info
require('utils').dump(this.getElementInfo('.area-status'));
}, function(){
/*element not found*/
})
});
},function(){
/*could not find advancedFilterForm*/
})
});
});
},function(){
/*form not found*/
});
});
Note: This code wasn't tested.
Hope it helps. :)
Good Scrapings
