navigate_to is not navigating but giving about:blank

[Junaid Farooq]

my deps are

      {:hound, "~> 1.0"},
      {:floki, "~> 0.18.0"},
      {:httpoison, "~> 0.13.0"}

And I have started the phantomjs webdirver as

phantomjs --wd

In config file

config :hound, driver: "phantomjs"

and my module is

defmodule ThreeScrapper do
  @moduledoc """
  Documentation for ThreeScrapper.
  """
  use Hound.Helpers

  def start do
    IO.puts "starting"
    Hound.start_session
    navigate_to "https://login.three.ie"
    submit_element(el)
  end
end

My issue is: When I do any navigation, It dont navigate,
for exampel I navigate_to "https://login.three.ie"..
page source is 3 html tags and current url is about blank?

Hi, what version of Phantomjs are you using?

[Sergiy Kukunin]

I have the same issue. My phantomjs 2.1.1

[Sergiy Kukunin]

Was able to fix this issue. Hound doesn't run the server automatically, and if there is no server running, phantomjs returns 'about:blank'. Setting server: true in config/test.exs made phoenix starting the server on every mix test that fixed the problem.

yeah, im having issues navigating to these https sites.
There's no problem with http sites.

[Daniel Perez]

Could you provide more information please? I am not able to reproduce the issue.

same here with https sites

Simple test:

  test "get https page" do
    navigate_to("https://www.google.com.br/") #I was testing the url https://sistemas.anac.gov.br/bav/FormConsultarVraInternet.do

    IO.inspect(current_url())
    IO.inspect(current_path())
    IO.inspect(page_title())

    assert page_title() == "Google"
  end

Output

$ mix test
."about:blank"
"blank"
""
...
