#1615 Error parsing page "Please update to a modern browser for the best Los Angeles Times viewing experience."

[Kunal Singh]

I am using HtmlUnit for text extraction.
final WebClient webClient = new WebClient();
final HtmlPage page = webClient.getPage("http://www.latimes.com/topic/politics/government/barack-obama-PEPLT007408-topic.html");
final String pageAsText = page.asText();
System.out.println(pageAsText);

It is giving me error:

Exception in thread "main" ======= EXCEPTION START ========
EcmaError: lineNumber=[11] column=[0] lineSource=[<no source="">]</no> name=[TypeError] sourceName=[http://www.trbas.com/jive/prod/common/javascripts/mainInit.1q2w3_13a2f8e11fc6a6ec0e18d71a6f3e8dd9.min.js] message=[TypeError: Cannot find function addEventListener in object [object HTMLDocument].

IE8 doesn't support it.

Please use:

    WebClient webClient = new WebClient(BrowserVersion.INTERNET_EXPLORER_11);

[Kunal Singh]

Hey,

Thanks for prompt reply, when I try with
WebClient webClient = new WebClient(BrowserVersion.INTERNET_EXPLORER_11);
final HtmlPage page = webClient.getPage("http://www.latimes.com/topic/politics/government/barack-obama-PEPLT007408-topic.html");
System.out.println(page.asText());

It returns:

Please update to a modern browser for the best Los Angeles Times viewing experience.
or, you can view an alternate view of this site on your current browser by clicking here.

Is that is the case that HtmlUnit works for particular browser?

[Ahmed Ashour]

I see, it would be better if you can isolate the root as hinted in http://htmlunit.sourceforge.net/submittingJSBugs.html

[RBRi]

Have done a test with the latest code from SVN. Now HtmlUnit is able to get the content of the page.

[Vernon Singleton]

I am still getting the error above. Using 2.19-SNAPSHOT. Using the same test page you used above. Looks like this is still a bug.

Please consider reopening this ticket.
Or if you like I will open another.

You have to specifiy a different browser (see Ahmed's comment above).

[Vernon Singleton]

I have tried with INTERNET_EXPLORER_11 and FIREFOX_31, as noted below, both fail with the same error noted above using 2.19-SNAPSHOT.

public class MyArtifactIdTester {

   private WebClient webClient = new WebClient(BrowserVersion.FIREFOX_31);;
   // private WebClient webClient = new WebClient(BrowserVersion.INTERNET_EXPLORER_11);

   @Test
   public void myArtifactIdTest() throws Exception {

      HtmlPage initialPage = webClient.getPage("http://www.latimes.com/topic/politics/government/barack-obama-PEPLT007408-topic.html");
      final String pageAsText = initialPage.asText();
      System.out.println(pageAsText);

   }
}

[RBRi]

Sorry Vernon, but i can't reproduce your problem with your code. Your sampel code works fine for me. Can you please check your classpath.

[Vernon Singleton]

Wow, please excuse my stupid. It was my fault. In addition to the above code, I also overlooked this block of code in my class:

   @Before
   public void setUp() {
      webClient = new WebClient();
      webClient.getOptions().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
      java.util.logging.Logger.getLogger("com.gargoylesoftware.htmlunit").setLevel(Level.OFF);
   }

Obviously, this causes the issue noted in this thread. As you said, you need to use a browser other than the default. Thank you for the quick response. So please ignore my previous request and keep this ticket closed as solved.

[RBRi]

Ok no problem. Enjoy using HtmlUnit.
