Casper Automation Script Stopped Working, Can't Login, Can't Submit Form

[Timothy Michael]

I've had a stable process working for the last month to check the status of my orders every day on samsclub.com. It stopped working on the 15th around noon.

The problem is the <Sign In> button can't be clicked after filling in the form. I've tried filling the form, using sendkeys, and about every other way imaginable to populate my email address and password, but then the button seems to be disabled and I can't click it or otherwise submit the form.

The interesting thing is, that if I don't fill out the form, the button clicks normally, and the form highlights the missing required fields. I can fill out one or the other (email or password) and attempt to submit, but when I fill out both, I doesn't submit.

Please take a look at the script and give me some feedback about how to get it working again. When you run the script, if you can actually submit the completed form, the page should indicate that your email address is not recognized.

Lots of servers have deprecated their support for SSL v3 lately, because of POODLE. You should pass this option to casperjs: --ssl-protocol=tlsv1

That did it!

Many thanks.

You can use a universal version too:

--ssl-protocol=any

I'm having the same problem with some different sites. I have tried ssl-protocol=tlsv1 and ssl-protocol=any, but it's not working. My app is running on Heroku, and here is the exact command (with some redactions):

vendor/casperjs/bin/casperjs /app/lib/services/redacted/website/js/redacted/redacted.coffee /app/lib/services/redacted/website/js/ --login_url="https://signin.redacted.com/redacted/redacted" --redacted="https://www.redacted.com/redacted/redacted/members/redacted.aspx" --redacted="508" --start="2014-10-19T20:20:00" --username="redacted" --password="redacted" --log_level=debug --user_agent="Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/31.0.1650.57 Safari/537.36" --ignore-ssl-errors=true --ssl-protocol=tlsv1

I guess that casperjs passes ssl-protocol and ignore-ssl-errors on to phantomjs without me doing anything else, but I would live to prove that. Is there any way to see the exact command line calls to phantomjs?

My app is falling apart because of this. I've got that sick-to-my-stomache feeling of helplessness.  Any suggestions are much appreciated.

I am using casperjs version 1.0.2.

I guess my problem is here:

https://github.com/n1k0/casperjs/blob/1.0/bin/casperjs#L22

It turns out that v1.0 does not support setting ssl-protocol.

So the obvious answer is to upgrade, right?  But I’m stuck there. When I change my executable to 1.1-beta3, I get this error:

Error: Cannot find module 'casper'

  phantomjs://bootstrap.js:289

  phantomjs://bootstrap.js:254 in require

I made a detailed post about it here earlier today:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26428017/cannot-find-module-casper-with-1-1-beta

I am very grateful of any suggestions to troubleshoot this.

I solved my problem by forking 1.0.2 and patching it, here:

https://github.com/timscott/casperjs/tree/ssl-version-support

It's deployed in production and working.

I'm still stuck upgrading to 1.1, but relieved for now that the bleeding has stopped.

Thanks --ssl-protocol=any solved my issue.
