Hi guys, I was hoping that someone could help me out with this. I am trying to test the scripting functionality of my local instance of this product, but even the most basic scripts don't seem to work. I have confirmed that my script works at webpagetest.org, but when I try the exact same script on my local instance, it fails. Could I be missing something in my configuration or has anybody else experienced this issue and knows of a fix. My script looks like this(tab-delimited, not spaces):
logData 0
navigate
http://www.mysite.com
logData 1
navigate
http://www.myothersite.com
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
*****Edit*****
I figured, I would add the errors that I am getting when I attempt to test this script on my local instance.
If i run it through the UI, I get the following error:
The testing completed but failed.
Timed out waiting for the browser to start.
Waterfall Screen Shot Video
First View: Test Data Missing
Repeat View: Test Error: Skipped repeat view, first view failed: Timed out waiting for the browser to start.
In reality, I am writing a simple php script using curl to start tests, collect the test results and store results in a database. An example of the curl call I am using to start the test is below:
$link = urlencode(file_get_contents('test.txt'));
$startTest = curl_init();
curl_setopt_array($startTest, array(
CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => 1,
CURLOPT_URL => 'http://www.mylocalinstance.com/runTest.php',
CURLOPT_POST => 1,
CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => array(
'location' => 'Office_wptdriver',
'f' => 'json',
'script' => $link,
'video' => 1
)
));
$response = curl_exec($startTest);
curl_close($startTest);
//The script continues from here to check the test status then collect the results once it has been completed.
If i remove the script option and manually specify single URLs, using the url option, the script runs fine and all data is stored correctly. However, when I use the script option and point to my URL encoded version of the script file I wrote, I get the following error:
{"statusCode":400,"statusText":"Invalid Script (make sure there is at least one navigate command and that the commands are tab-delimited). Please contact us if you need help with your test script."}
The URL encoded script looks like this:
logData%090%0Anavigate%09http%3A%2F%2Fwww.yahoo.com%0AlogData%091%0Anavigate%09http%3A%2F%2Fwww.aol.com%09%0A
I have also tested this without encoding my script file with the same results. There are definitely navigate commands in my script and they are tab-delimited so I'm not sure what I am doing wrong.
I have also verified that all necessary PHP modules from the installation documentation are installed on the server, so I don't believe that is a problem.
Logs don't seem to give me any truly useful information to narrow down the issue.
Anyone else experiencing or have experience this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
