Can't set headers about poltergeist HOT 12 CLOSED

This isn't possible at the moment but should be possible with the next version of PhantomJS.

Cool. I dig what you're doing with this project. Will happily give it another go in the future.

FWIW you could probably get around it by putting a Rack middleware around you app to set the header.

Unfortunately, headers aren't the only problem, it's just the problem I felt confident reporting an issue about. Currently, I can swap out capybara-webkit with selenium and all the tests pass. This is not the case with poltergeist, and I don't have the time to dig in further to find the actual problem. I've lazily resolved to give the project another shot sometime in the future.

If capybara-webkit solves your problems at the moment then I wouldn't suggest switching :)

Without more info it's hard to guess what might be the issue, but one key difference to c-w (and I think selenium) is that in poltergeist a click only works if the element is not obscured by another element (like in a real browser). I've added some code to master to detect whether a click will fail so if you're curious then give master a go.

I've looking at the code and i cannot set userAgent, not sure why.
Phantom now provides a: page.settings.userAgent = 'Something' which works, i've been looking at lib/capybara/poltergeist/client/web_page.coffee and for some reason

@native.settings.userAgent = "Something"

does not work.

Perhaps i'm missing something

@elcuervo sorry, I don't have any insight into your problem (though I haven't tried it myself)

FWIW PhantomJS now supports setting headers: https://code.google.com/p/phantomjs/issues/detail?id=452

But the code is in master - it's not supported in 1.5.0, so we'll need to wait for 1.6.0 to add this to Poltergeist.

Specifically i'm referring about doing something like this which works in 1.5.0: http://cl.ly/1q1j1Z1Z2S3Y22322V3a/Screen%20Shot%202012-05-04%20at%202.36.19%20PM.png

@elcuervo The .coffee files are compiled to .js in the client/compiled/ directory. I was able to override the user agent by adding:

this["native"].settings.userAgent = "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_7_3) AppleWebKit/534.55.3 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.1.5 Safari/534.55.3";

in between lines 9 and 10 (https://github.com/jonleighton/poltergeist/blob/v0.6.0/lib/capybara/poltergeist/client/compiled/web_page.js#L9)

Curious hack. Worked like a charm though. Kudos, defeated.

In terms of setting the user agent see this: https://github.com/carhartl/poltergeist/tree/user_agent

Closing this as header support was added and there is a separate bug for the user agent issue.
