Re: [Htmlunit-user] Error Accessing Page

[Marks, D. <Dav...@nr...>]

I figured that was probably at least part of my problem, yeah. After tinkering with it a bit more over the weekend, I managed to load and interact with the webpage via HtmlUnit successfully using this set of options in the WebClient:


setThrowExceptionOnScriptError(false);

setCssEnabled(false);

setThrowExceptionOnFailingStatusCode(false);

waitForBackgroundJavaScript(50000);

It seems likely only some functionality on the page was loaded successfully, but what I was targeting worked so this is good enough for me. Perhaps this set of options will help someone else in the future.

Hi,

VBScript is not supported by HtmlUnit, only JavaScript.

Subject: [Htmlunit-user] Error Accessing Page


Hello,

I'm a new user to HtmlUnit and am unfortunately receiving an error on the first page I tried to load. I'm not sure if the error lies with me or the page, but here are the details:

Code I am trying to execute


public void homePage() throws Exception {

try (final WebClient webClient = new WebClient()) {

final HtmlPage page = webClient.getPage("http://www.ukho.gov.uk/ProductsandServices/MartimeSafety/Pages/NMPublic.aspx");

} catch(Exception e) {

e.printStackTrace();

}

}


It's failing on the getPage call, saying "======= EXCEPTION START ========

Exception class=[net.sourceforge.htmlunit.corejs.javascript.EvaluatorException]

com.gargoylesoftware.htmlunit.ScriptException: syntax error (script in http://www.ukho.gov.uk/ProductsandServices/MartimeSafety/Pages/NMPublic.aspx from (714, 460) to (755, 10)#744)" followed by an impressively long stack trace. Lines 714-755 of the page seem to be snippets of code dealing with the browser context and the start of a VBSCRIPT block. Does this page have elements HtmlUnit can't handle currently or is my accessing approach incorrect?


Thanks for the help,

David Marks
