submit() doesn't seem to work for an aspx page

[vinbrown2]

Tech stack:
asp.net web forms
.NET Framework 4.0

Steps to reproduce:

1. create an aspx form with a username and password field and a submit button
2. create a test (here's my sample)
   module.exports = {
   'I can log in': function(test) {
   test
   .open('myLogin.aspx')
   .assert.url().is('myLogin.aspx', 'At the login page')
   .type('#oUserID', 'John', 'user name is')
   .assert.val('#oUserID', 'John', 'text has been set')
   .type('#oPwdID', 'pswdpswd1', 'password name is')
   .assert.val('#oPwdID', 'pswdpswd1', 'password has been set')
   .submit('#frmLogin')
   .done();
   }
   };
   
3. Test hangs/becomes unresponsive after the submit step.

From what i see, your test looks good.
Could you change your test in a way, that you don't use the submit function and instead make a "real" click
on your submit button? This would help me to track down the error a bit.

'I can log in': function(test) {
  test
    .open('myLogin.aspx')
    .assert.url().is('myLogin.aspx', 'At the login page')
    .type('#oUserID', 'John', 'user name is')
    .assert.val('#oUserID', 'John', 'text has been set')
    .type('#oPwdID', 'pswdpswd1', 'password name is')
    .assert.val('#oPwdID', 'pswdpswd1', 'password has been set')
    .click('#my-button')
    .done();
  }
};

Also, I don't have an .aspx compatible env here to reproduce everything.
If you could post the generated HTML (or at least a skeleton), that would be very helpful for me to check.

Thanks for testing dalek & reporting the issue.

I've tried the click() method but still no luck. Here's the markup of the login page (my humblest apologies for the ugly markup. It's webforms. It's by design). It seems this forum actually renders the html, but hopefully you can get the markup by viewing source. Let me know if you need anything else.

    <div class="wrapper_OneColumn interimWrap" id="loginSection" style="display: block;">
        <h2>Member Login</h2><table id="memberlogin" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" class="columns" style="color:#4A4A4A;">
<tbody><tr>
    <td><div class="badLogin" style="display:none; float: left; padding: 2px 10px 5px 2px; width: 95%; color:#cc0000; border: solid 2pt #cc0000;"><div class="badLoginInner" style="margin:5px; margin-top: 0px; float: left;"><img src="/images/general/alert_icon_anim.gif" width="20" height="20" alt="Warning!" style="margin-right: 5px;"></div><div style="float:left; width: 90%"><span id="warningMsg">Your account is currently locked due to too many unsuccessful log in attempts.

</tr>

</tr>

Looking for how to join?

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">document.forms[0].action="/Login.aspx"</script>

Ok, I've got a bit more info. It seems there are multiple issues here.

1. setValue() doesn't seem to work at all in any browser
2. type() doesn't seem to work if the field is styled display:none.

I have changed the login form to not hide the text field and it now works! I had to use the click() method to submit the form though. submit() still doesn't work. Not sure if you want to close this issue or not, but at least I have a workaround.

Hey,
could you please update to dalek 0.0.2 & test this again, maybe with the -l 5 flag which will now output the raw webdriver communication. If there still is a problem, that will extremely help to track it down.

[vinbrown2]

Sure. I'll try it again either today or tomorrow and let you know what
happens. I've got a tight deadline at the moment, so just have to finish up
with the task at hand first.
