Fetching innerHTML

[ptriller1und1]

I am just in the process of upgrading selenium to the newest version and I am trying to switch to htmluit3 in this process
but I have not figured out how to get innerHTML with the new version

    HtmlUnitDriver driver  = new HtmlUnitDriver(false);
    driver.get("https://www.google.de");
    System.out.println(driver.findElement(By.tagName("body")).getAttribute("innerHTML"));

This works fine with the old htmlunit driver but returns null in the htmlunit3 verions

When tested it with htmlunit3-driver:4.20.0 it returns null
When I tested it with htmlunit-driver:4.13.0 it returns the innerHTML as expected

@ptriller1und1 interesting point - at the moment getting javascript properties (like innerHTML) are not supported if js is disabled.

Technically we only have to disable the support if the javascript engine is disabled (for more about the differences see https://www.htmlunit.org/javascript-howto.html#Enable.2FDisable_JavaScript_support).
Will think about that - maybe i have to adjust this...

As a workaround you can do something like

HtmlUnitDriver driver  = new HtmlUnitDriver(true);
driver.getWebClient().getOptions().setThrowExceptionOnScriptError(false);
driver.get("https://www.google.de");
System.out.println(driver.findElement(By.tagName("body")).getAttribute("innerHTML"));

@ptriller1und1 is think you are right in all point here - fixed now.

Will do a release later today.
