Casperjs Fill Method make next function only run after the previouse function has finished

Question

heres my casperjs script

var ccommss = require('node_modules/ccomms');
var system = require('system');
var casper = require('casper').create({
    logLevel: "debug",
    waitTimeout: 10,
    stepTimeout: 10,
    verbose: true,
    viewportSize: {
        width: 1280,
        height: 960
    },
    pageSettings: {
        "userAgent": 'Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.10 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/23.0.1262.0 Safari/537.10',
        "webSecurityEnabled": false,
        "ignoreSslErrors": true
    },
    onWaitTimeout: function () {
        // casper.capture('./out/wait-timeout:_' + TimeTidy() + '.png');
        // throw new Error stuff;
    },
    onStepTimeout: function () {
        // casper.capture('./out/step-timeout' + TimeTidy() + '.png');
        // throw new Error stuff;
    }
});


var Visit = "https://example.com/login.html";
var use = {};
casper.start(Visit, function () {

    casper.then(function () {
        ccommss.CaptchaGet();
    });

    casper.then(function () {
        ccommss.Login();
        console.log(use.name + " " + use.pass + " " + use.turing);
    });

    casper.then(function () {
        this.echo(this.getCurrentUrl());
    });

});

casper.run();

the problem is when i run the ccommss.Login() function i have built wich is below the casper.then statment this.getcurrenturl() is ran before the page redirects

heres is my function

exports.Login = function() {

var line = system.stdin.readLine();
    var split = line.split (':');
    casper.fill('form[name="reg"]', {
           'login': split[0],
           'password': split[1],
           'turing': split[2]
        }, false);
casper.click("input#sbt.submit[type='submit']");

return use.name = split[0],
       use.pass = split[1],
       use.turing = split[2];



};

problem is when this runs

    casper.then(function () {
        this.echo(this.getCurrentUrl());
    });

it is useless as this function is still working

ccommss.Login();

and the url change has not happend yet i know i may be able to fix it with a callback of somekind can anybod help me fix this please

Answer 1

You set stepTimeout to 10 milli seconds. It is just not enough time to process anything in the login step. So my guess is that the login step is aborted and the next step is executed. By default the script would die , but you provided a stepTimeout callback which disables the die() .

Solution would be to increase the timeout to something like 5 seconds ( 5000 ). Btw, waitTimeout is also too short.
