How to maintain session in casperjs? - casperjs

Question

In CasperJS how do you maintain session when using casper.thenOpen()
For example:
var casper = require('casper').create();
casper.start('http://chaseonline.com/', function() {
this.echo(this.getTitle());
this.evaluate(function() {
document.getElementById("userid").value = "a#b.com";
document.getElementById("password").value = "asdf";
});
this.click("#btnSubmit");
});
casper.thenOpen('http://chaseonline.com/section/1/module/2/abc.jsp', function() {
// now this page never loads because the page requires a logged in session
// but casperjs doesn't appear to automatically propagate the session
this.echo(this.getTitle());
});
casper.run();

The session is still open in your example. Probably you are not logged in correct.
Could be if it works Step by step (seems the site i see is not the one in your example, there is no login):
var casper = require('casper').create();
var x = require('casper').selectXPath;
casper.start('http://youraddess.com/', function() {
casper.then(function() {
casper.waitForSelector(x("xpath_selector"));
});
var data = {};
casper.then(function() {
data["//input[#id='userid']"] = "a#b.com";
data["//input[#id='password']"] = "asdf";
casper.fillXPath(x("//form[]"), data, false);
});
casper.then(function() {
casper.click(x("//button[#id='btnSubmit']"));
});
casper.then(function() {
casper.waitWhileSelector(x("xpath_selector"));
});
});
casper.thenOpen('http://chaseonline.com/section/1/module/2/abc.jsp', function() {
// now this page never loads because the page requires a logged in session
// but casperjs doesn't appear to automatically propagate the session
casper.then(function() {
casper.echo(this.getTitle());
casper.capture('test.png');
});
});
casper.run();
The session is till the run() always the same. There are possiblities to open new ones, but thats hard.
