Login to new bugzilla

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

Hi, I am currently working at the script which would login to new bugzilla 2.23 and do the other things, but I just stuck at the beggining, I am using www::mechanize to do these things, my script looks like this:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use WWW::Mechanize;
my $link = "https://localhost/query.cgi?GoAheadAndLogIn=1";
my $login = "x\@gx.com";
my $pass = "xx";
my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new();
$mech->agent_alias( 'Windows IE 6' );
$mech->get( $link );
my %login = ( "Bugzilla_login"=> $login,
"Bugzilla_password"=> $pass);
$mech->set_fields(%login);
$mech->click( 'GoAheadAndLogIn' );

# ./bug.pl
No such field 'Bugzilla_password' at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/WW
+W/Mechanize.pm line 1265
[download]

And the problem is that www::mechanize cannot found form called Bugzilla_password, but Bugzilla_login finds with no problem, can you suggest what might be wrong ?

Run the `mech-dump` utility that installs with WWW::Mechanize and see what that says the fields are. $ mech-dump http://perlmonks.org/ GET http://perlmonks.org/? node= (text) <NONAME>=Search (submit) POST http://perlmonks.org/? [login] node_id=131 (hidden readonly) op=login (hidden readonly) user= (text) passwd= (password) expires=<UNDEF> (checkbox) [<UNDEF>/off\|+10y/remembe +r me] login=Login (submit) POST http://perlmonks.org/? node_id=131 (hidden readonly) foo=Refresh (submit) POST http://perlmonks.org/? displaytype=display (hidden readonly) node_id=607758 (hidden readonly) vote=0 (radio) [0/obsessively\|1/often\|2/ +infrequently\|3/-ged, but I quit\|4/I'm tempted to\|5/I never considered + it\|6/I can't imagine doing that\|7/What's "blog"?] <NONAME>=Vote (submit) [download]	[reply] [d/l]

I used the mech-dump utility as You suggested, and it showed the forms which I would like to use: `% mech-dump "https://localhost/query.cgi?GoAheadAndLogIn=1" GET https://localhost/buglist.cgi quicksearch= (text) <NONAME>=Find (submit) POST https://localhost/query.cgi [login] Bugzilla_login= (text) Bugzilla_password= (password) GoAheadAndLogIn=1 (hidden readonly) GoAheadAndLogIn=Log in (submit) GET https://localhost/token.cgi a=reqpw (hidden readonly) loginname= (text) <NONAME>=Submit Request (submit) GET https://localhost/buglist.cgi quicksearch= (text) <NONAME>=Find (submit)` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Perhaps you may want to dump the HTML of the page to be certain of your field names? Also, just because it reported the error on field `'Bugzilla_password'`, that doesn't mean that it accepted `'Bugzilla_login'`. Since you're passing `set_fields` a hash, there are no guarantees about the order that `set_fields` will get them out of the hash. ...roboticus	[reply] [d/l] [select]
