using getHtmlSource in Selenium after following a link on the initial page

Question

I opened a page and am following a couple of links with the click() method.

$this->selenium->open("test.html");
$this->selenium->click("link=testlink1");
$this->selenium->waitForPageToLoad("10000"); 
$this->selenium->click("link=testlink2");
$this->selenium->getHtmlSource();

Now I want to get the HTML source of the current page that I am on, but getHtmlSource seems to only get the source of the initial page from the open() call.

How do I get the HTML source of the page from 'testlink2'? The last link I followed and the current page I'm on.

Answer 1

Ok, so it appears if you do this, things work.

$link2 = $this->selenium->click("link=testlink2");
$this->selenium->getHtmlSource($link2);

Now, I'm running into a problem that getHtmlSource doesn't seem to returning everything. Looks like it has some sort of buffer limit :(

Also, it doesn't look like this technique will work on links to pages that require authentication. So if you login first, then click on some links, it doesn't work.

Answer 2

getHtmlSource should return the current page's HTML source. Your example might need an additional waitForPageToLoad between clicking the link and getting the page source.
