Maybe just use sleep to wait for three seconds?

Is there a different arrangement of methods you recommend? Do you have an example that does something like this?

> Sleep between the call to the get method and the call to the decoded_content method? I tried that. No change to the content.

I can't find any decoded_content method documented in WWW::Mechanize::PhantomJS (?)

Maybe try $mech->content( %options ) ?

Otherwise are you sure your JS-App really works inside PhantomJS? It wouldn't be the first case of browser incompatibilities.

update

The HTTP::Response object returned by WWW::Mechanize has a decoded_content method, I don't know how and if subclassing was done here, but I wouldn't expect that to work with JS.

You're right. It's a WWW::Mechanize method, so I just presumed it worked with WWW::Mechanize::PhantomJS as well. I'll give content a try. Thanks!

UPDATE: No difference. Same exact result as the decoded_content method.

Yeah, I don't know. That's a good point. Maybe not?

UPDATE #2: OK, so I think that's the problem. I added print $_->{message},"\n" for $mech->js_errors(); to my code, and I'm getting a mess of TypeError: undefined is not a function (evaluating ...) JavaScript errors that I don't see in any major web browser.

How very disappointing. I guess I'll have to try to get WWW::Mechanize::Firefox working...

Or maybe I can inject some polyfills? Seems others have encountered this sort of problem with PhantomJS:
https://github.com/tom-james-watson/phantomjs-polyfill
https://github.com/mathiasbynens/String.prototype.startsWith

I might try that first... I'm thinking the best way to do that is to copy ghostdriver/src/main.js and add the polyfills to that?
