nysus has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I'm trying to use the synchronize method like so:

$mech->get('http://example.com/wp-login.php');
$mech->submit_form( with_fields => {log => 'admin', pwd => 'password'}
+);
$mech->synchronize( 'DOMConentLoaded', sub {print Dumper($self->title(
+)); });
exit;

[download]

The title of the newly loaded page prints but then the script just hangs. It never exits. What am I missing?

$PM = "Perl Monk's";
$MCF = "Most Clueless Friar Abbot Bishop Pontiff Deacon Curate";
$nysus = $PM . ' ' . $MCF;

    You have a typo in your event:DOMConentLoaded is likely meant to be DOMContentLoaded.

    The program hangs because your callback never performs any action. The callback you pass to ->synchronize is supposed to click on a button.

    You are missing a valid event, you are waiting for an event that doesnt exist an will never occur check your spelking and try again

    Oops on the typo. But even without the typo, I have the same issue.

    $PM = "Perl Monk's";
    $MCF = "Most Clueless Friar Abbot Bishop Pontiff Deacon Curate";
    $nysus = $PM . ' ' . $MCF;

      So where does your callback perform an action, like clicking?

        OK, I reread your previous post. It has to click on a button? I will try that.

        $PM = "Perl Monk's";
        $MCF = "Most Clueless Friar Abbot Bishop Pontiff Deacon Curate";
        $nysus = $PM . ' ' . $MCF;

        Tried:

        $self->synchronize( 'DOMContentLoaded', sub { $self->click_button( nam
+e => 'wp-submit' ); } );

        [download]

        I still get same results. The next page loads but then browser hangs.

        $PM = "Perl Monk's";
        $MCF = "Most Clueless Friar Abbot Bishop Pontiff Deacon Curate";
        $nysus = $PM . ' ' . $MCF;

        Also tried $self->synchronize( 'DOMContentLoaded', sub { $self->click( {selector => '#wp-submit'} ); } );

        Same results.

        $PM = "Perl Monk's";
        $MCF = "Most Clueless Friar Abbot Bishop Pontiff Deacon Curate";
        $nysus = $PM . ' ' . $MCF;

        I've also tried the following:

        $self->synchronize( 'DOMContentLoaded', sub { $self->submit_form( with
+_fields => {log => 'admin', pwd => 'password'} ) } );

        [download]

        The submit_form gets called and the next page loads but then the script just hangs.

        $PM = "Perl Monk's";
        $MCF = "Most Clueless Friar Abbot Bishop Pontiff Deacon Curate";
        $nysus = $PM . ' ' . $MCF;
