Hi Monks, I am facing an issue with www::mechanize::firefox Click. I am clicking a button but it is hanging there. and it is not processing any next codes. Can you pls check the below codes pls,

use strict; use WWW::Mechanize::Firefox; my url= "**************************************"; my $mech = WWW::Mechanize::Firefox->new(timeout => 2 ); $mech->allow( javascript =>1); $mech->get($url); sleep(3); $mech->click({ xpath => '//span[@class="paginate_button"]' }, { xpath +=> '//*[contains(text(),"2")]' }); #print "First click ok" ; sleep(3); $mech->click({ xpath => '//span[@class="paginate_button"]' }, { xpath +=> '//*[contains(text(),"3")]' }); sleep(3);

Here it is hanging at the first click and not doing any next process. Here it stuck on $mech->click({ xpath => '//span[@class="paginate_button"]' }, { xpath =>  '//*[contains(text(),"2")]' }); and not coming out of that. I tried giving timeout also, but it is not taking. Is there any other way for this? The Url I tried on is  http://psacareers.gtisolutions.co.uk/VacancyPosting/Search?SearchText=&VacancyPostingFramework=&VacancyBusinessArea=&VacancyRegion=&submit=Search.

Thanks In advance Monks.

I just want the script to come out of that first click and do the rest process. Is there any other way to give timeout? I mean in www::Mechanize we can give like $mech->timeout(2); (but in www::mech::firefox I think we cant!)Thanks Monks.

Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
