How to call a button's onClick() method in PhantomJS?
This is NOT a duplicate. I have looked at the answers in PhantomJS; click an element and the OP said that the answer was to call the "onClick()" method assigned to element that needs to be clicked, but the OP does NOT say HOW they accomplished this. Also there are no accepted answers.
I am trying to automate the submission of Android apps to Amazon's App store with a PhantonJS script. I have these steps so far:
- Open the developer console URL: https://developer.amazon.com/login.html
- Login to my developer account
- Click on the add_new_app_link
Populate the First App submission form and then call the onclick method defined on this element:
< input id="submit_button" type="submit" class="button large primary one-click-submit" name="save" value="Save" onclick="sanitizeManifestURL()">
It is step 4 that is giving trouble. Here's the code:
function(apptitle,category){
page.evaluate(function(apptitle,category){
document.getElementById('title').value=apptitle;
var sel = document.querySelector('select');
sel.selectedIndex = 16;
sanitizeManifestURL();
},apptitle,category);
page.render('step4.png');
console.log(page.content);
},
I dump out the resulting HTML with console.log() and it is rather long so I created this pastebin: http://pastebin.com/kjg6XqSW
Here is the screen shot I generate.
Another thing I should note is that I can get the button to work via Chrome browser's developer console.
UPDATE 1:
Thanks Igor, but I am still not able to get the button to click. Here's the whole script:
//
// Run this script like so:
//
// phantomjs --cookies-file=cookys.txt example_amazon_login.js '[email protected]' 'mypasswordshhhh'
//
// You may need to execute the script twice so that the cookys.txt file gets data written to it.

PhantomJS exits before the work is done.
We need to wait, after the steps is complete.
