Login to page not working

[codebyoul]

I have poster a question in stuckoverflow, but no response yet i have tried many configuration but also not work.
question: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/59693423/htmlunit-login-to-page-with-redirection
there is my senario:

• Request page of categories: https://sycm.aliexpress.com/api/public/categories?lang=en_US (for information the response is a json)
• Page requested is secure, so a redirection to login page is made

here is the code:

`package com.test.report;

import com.gargoylesoftware.htmlunit.;
import com.gargoylesoftware.htmlunit.html.;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Value;

import java.io.IOException;

public class TestLogin {
static String categoriesUrl = "https://sycm.aliexpress.com/api/public/categories?lang=en_US";
static String loginUrl="https://sycm.aliexpress.com/api/public/categories?lang=en_US";
static String loginForm = "login-form";
static String loginId = "fm-login-id";
static String passwordId = "fm-login-password";
static String btnSubmitId = "fm-login-submit";
static String login = "mylogin";
static String password = "mypass";

public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
    WebClient webClient = new WebClient(BrowserVersion.BEST_SUPPORTED);
    webClient.getOptions().setThrowExceptionOnFailingStatusCode(false);
    webClient.getOptions().setThrowExceptionOnScriptError(false);
    webClient.setAjaxController(new NicelyResynchronizingAjaxController());
    HtmlPage page1 = null;
    try {
        page1 = webClient.getPage(loginUrl);
        webClient.waitForBackgroundJavaScriptStartingBefore(10000);
        webClient.waitForBackgroundJavaScript(10000);
        String htmlBody = page1.getWebResponse().getContentAsString();
        System.out.println(htmlBody);
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    HtmlForm form = (HtmlForm) page1.getElementById(loginForm);
    HtmlTextInput textField = (HtmlTextInput) page1.getElementById(loginId);
    textField.click();
    webClient.waitForBackgroundJavaScriptStartingBefore(10000);
    webClient.waitForBackgroundJavaScript(10000);
    textField.type(login);
    HtmlPasswordInput textField2 = (HtmlPasswordInput) page1.getElementById(passwordId);
    textField2.click();
    webClient.waitForBackgroundJavaScriptStartingBefore(10000);
    webClient.waitForBackgroundJavaScript(10000);
    textField2.type(password);
    //HtmlSubmitInput button = (HtmlSubmitInput) page1.getElementById(btnSubmitId);
    try {
        HtmlButton button = (HtmlButton) form.getButtonByName("");
        HtmlPage page2 = button.click();
        webClient.waitForBackgroundJavaScriptStartingBefore(10000);
        webClient.waitForBackgroundJavaScript(10000);
        String htmlBody = page2.getWebResponse().getContentAsString();
        System.out.println(htmlBody);
        webClient.close();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

}`

can you please provide valid credentials (via private mail) to give me a chance to try out

[codebyoul]

Please check your email

[codebyoul]

also the login page is:https://login.aliexpress.com/seller.htm

@rbri :i think i found what is the problem, there is a slider but i dont know how to slide with htmlunit ?

[rbri]

Ok,i was able to input using you credentials. Looks like the slider is there to prevent automatic login.
Will have a look at the inner workings of the page and come back to you.

Hi rbri
i found a solution but with different login page url ? you still need the credentials ?

[codebyoul]

Great, will close this.
Enjoy using HtmlUnit.
