When the jQuery code $('.reply_button').click() for clicking a button is executed on the Chrome browser, a menu popups as expected. However when the same jQuery code is executed within a this.evaluate in CasperJS, the webpage shows a loading screen instead.

Why is the page reacting differently, and how can we get the popup the way we would when using the Chrome browser?

CasperJS Code

var casper = require('casper').create()

casper.options.pageSettings = {
    loadImages:  true, 
    loadPlugins: false,
    userAgent: 'Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X)'
}

casper.start("http://raleigh.craigslist.org/apa/5167043093.html", function() {
    this.evaluate(function() {
        $('.reply_button').click()
    })
})


casper.wait(5000, function() {
     this.capture('1.png')
})

casper.run()

Trying a native click instead of synthetic click

Still triggering captcha

casper.start("http://raleigh.craigslist.org/apa/5167043093.html", function() {
    var rect = casper.page.evaluate(function() {
        return $('.reply_button')[0].getBoundingClientRect();
    });
    casper.page.sendEvent('click', rect.left + rect.width / 2, rect.top + rect.height / 2);
})

  • What PhantomJS version do you use? Please register to the `resource.error`, `page.error`, `remote.message` and `casper.page.onResourceTimeout` events ([Example](https://gist.github.com/artjomb/4cf43d16ce50d8674fdf)). Maybe there are errors. – Artjom B. Aug 11 '15 at 15:08
  • @ArtjomB. Updated post with the details. What may have caused the SSL error? Why do you think CasperJS/PhantomJS triggers the recaptcha check, but not when using the actual Chrome browser? – Nyxynyx Aug 11 '15 at 15:35
  • Seems like it. Maybe it is sufficient to use a [native click](http://stackoverflow.com/a/24026636/1816580) event instead of a synthetic jQuery click. `page` is available as `casper.page` in CasperJS. – Artjom B. Aug 11 '15 at 15:44
