Hi,

I'd like to zombie.js, mocha and should.js to perform functional testing for on web app. However, I can't figure out how to get multiple page visits to work. For example I'd like to login, navigate to a page, and check some data. I can login but I can't seem to visit another page after that. I'm not sure what I have to do to get this to work.  Am I just not waiting long enough for things to process? Do I have to use cookies to save my session?

Here's an example test that doesn't work. I'm getting logged in but the second browser.visit() generates a "getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND".

describe 'Login and visit another route on the site', ->

    browser = null
    loginUrl = null
    pageUrl = null

    beforeEach (done) ->
        loginUrl = "http://localhost:11000/#/login"
        browser = zombie.create()
        browser.visit loginUrl, ->
            browser
                .fill("#email", "em...@email.com")
                .fill("#password", "password")
                .pressButton "#signIn", ->
                    browser.wait ->
                        browser.visit pageUrl, ->
                            done()

    it 'should login and get to the other page', (done) ->
        browser.query("#anotherPageID").should.exist
        done()

Here's some code that DOES work... I go to google, then I go to facebook:

describe 'Zombie performing multiple page visits via callbacks', ->

    browser = null
    url = null
    anotherUrl = null

    beforeEach (done) ->
        url = "http://google.com"
        anotherUrl = "http://facebook.com"
        browser = zombie.create()
        browser.visit url, ->
            browser.visit anotherUrl, done

    it 'should create a browser and visit google then facebook', (done) ->
        browser.query("#facebook").should.exist
        done()


Thanks!

Where is locationhost defined?

Sorry, locationHost was a type. I meant local host. I'm using an express server running locally for this testing.

That was your ENOTFOUND error. It’s what happens when your computer can resolve a DNS name.
