Issues logging in

Hi

I have a Moodle website that I want to log into and then measure a page load speed.

I have been using the following script to achieve this:

logData 0
navigate https://edu.eupati.eu/login/index.php
sleep 15
logData 0
setValue id=username xxxxxxxxxxxxx
setValue id=password xxxxxxxxxxxxx
submitForm name=login
sleep 15
logData 1
navigate https://edu.eupati.eu/mod/book/view.php?id=1197&chapterid=773

I replaced the username and passwords with the actual username and password or should they be encoded?

I cannot seem to get past the login page.

Any help you can give me is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
J

So I mostly use the exec script command to manipulate DOM elements when I script these days so I’d do something like this for the above case

logData 0
navigate https://edu.eupati.eu/login/index.php
sleep 15
logData 0
exec document.getElementById(‘username’).value=‘xxxxxx’
exec document.getElementById(‘password’).value=‘xxxxxx’
execAndWait document.getElementById(‘loginbtn’).click()
sleep 15
logData 1
navigate https://edu.eupati.eu/mod/book/view.php?...pterid=773

Thanks a million for your help Andy.

Your script is working as intended now.

Thanks again

This is an excellent example, thank you for posting this. It would be worth adding this as an example in the docs - https://sites.google.com/a/webpagetest.org/docs/using-webpagetest/scripting#TOC-MyAOL-Authenticated-profile
