Problem with ?submitting a form? about poltergeist HOT 8 CLOSED

Thanks for the bug report! I am highly amused because I did not really consider this "released" yet, I only put it on Github to get the CI set up ;) (which is still a WIP)

The screenshot shows only the part of the page that is "in view" according to the browser's scroll position. I should add an option to screenshot the entire page too.

In terms of the actual problem, what I think is happening is that when you try to click the button, Poltergeist scrolls the page so that the button is at the top left of the screen, and then tries to click the top left pixel of the button. But as your screenshot shows, the top left of the button is covered up by another element layered on top.

I am not sure what the best solution is, but perhaps it would be better to only scroll the minimal distance to bring the relevant element into view. (So in that case the button would be towards the bottom of the screen and presumably not covered up.)

Oh, that's interesting. I wouldn't have considered that to be a problem :)
So I'd guess that if I replaced the click_button() with a javascript eval of document.forms["myform"].submit(); it should work?

(can't test atm, will be back home in an hour or so)

Yeah, I reckon that should work.

Hm, nope doesn't seem to work. I'll try to gather some more data

Could you able to export a static version of the page please? (I.e. using Firefox 'Save page as...' so it gets all the HTML/CSS/images)

Ok, I am fairly sure your problem was due to the PhantomJS window size being quite small by default.

I have changed the default window size to 1024x768 which should work fine for this. You can also now change the window size yourself (see the README).

I have also added support for taking a full-page screenshot (again, see the README).

I am closing this for now, but feel free to let me know if it still doesn't work.

Working great!
