I'm using PhantomJS and poltergeist to emulate a browser, however I'm not sure how to specify a proxy to use in the code:
require 'capybara'
require 'capybara/dsl'
require 'capybara/poltergeist'
task :experiment => :environment do
Capybara.run_server = false
Capybara.current_driver = :poltergeist
Capybara.app_host = "http://something.com"
include Capybara::DSL
# set_proxy('12.13.14.15', '4521')
visit('posts')
page.include?('foo')
end
Also, for some reason, i get undefined method page
when using poltergeist, can anyone advise?
You need to pass the --proxy
option to PhantomJS, see the API docs
With Poltergeist, you can use the :phantomjs_options
configuration option to specify command line options for PhantomJS.
Putting it together:
Capybara.register_driver :poltergeist do |app|
Capybara::Poltergeist::Driver.new(app, phantomjs_options: ["--proxy=12.13.14.15:4521"])
end
Try to run it in controller action, so when it will control through controller level it will update the new proxy ip. Like this way
def index
options = {
:js_errors => false,
:debug => true,
:phantomjs => "/Users/Umer/Desktop/phantomjs-2.0.0-macosx/bin/phantomjs",
#:phantomjs_options => ["--proxy=#{proxy.ip}:#{proxy.port}", "--proxy-auth=#{proxy.username}:#{proxy.password}"]
:phantomjs_options => ["--proxy=88.150.136.178:3128"]
}
Capybara.register_driver :poltergeist do |app|
Capybara::Poltergeist::Driver.new(app, options)
end
Capybara.default_driver = :poltergeist
Capybara.javascript_driver = :poltergeist
Capybara.default_wait_time = 20
Capybara.ignore_hidden_elements = true
Capybara.run_server = false
Capybara.app_host = 'http://mxtoolbox.com'
session = Capybara::Session.new(:poltergeist)
session.visit('/WhatIsMyIP/')
file = File.new("test3.html", "w+")
file.write(session.body)
file.close
session.driver.quit
end
