Ruby
1

I’m trying to connect automaticaly to a website using Mechanize.

I read searched the internet but I can’t find any solution to my
problem,
which is why when i write nothing in, value = “”, I get *Incorrect Login
or
Password * but when i write my password i get nothing ?

agent = Mechanize.new{ |a| a.log = Logger.new(“mech.log”) }
@agent.user_agent_alias = ‘Linux Firefox’
login_page = agent.get(‘http://xxxx.org/?op=my_files’)
login_form = login_page.forms.first
login_field = login_form.field_with(name: “login”).value =
“MyLogin”
password_field = login_form.field_with(name: “password”).value =
“MyPassword”
home_page = login_form.submit
puts home_page.content

the code HTML

I can’t say for sure what’s going on here.

I do notice this:

agent = Mechanize.new{ |a| a.log = Logger.new(“mech.log”) }
@agent.user_agent_alias = ‘Linux Firefox’

Is agent an attr_accessor or something? You’ve used a bare word ‘agent’
above and below, but set the user agent alias on an instance variable
‘@agent’.

login_page = agent.get(‘http://xxxx.org/?op=my_files’)
login_form = login_page.forms.first
login_field = login_form.field_with(name: “login”).value = “MyLogin”
password_field = login_form.field_with(name: “password”).value =
“MyPassword”
home_page = login_form.submit
puts home_page.content

Maybe check agent.current_page at this point, as well? It should be
the
same as home_page, but…

title=“username” tabindex=“4” type=“text”>

From the log, it certainly looks like it succeeded.

I have a similar sort of thing in one of my scrapers at:
