Re: saveResources_future and tab in WWW::Mechanize::Chrome

in reply to saveResources_future and tab in WWW::Mechanize::Chrome

This is weird. The documentation says:

    my $file_map = $mech->saveResources_future(
        target_file => 'this_page.html',
        target_dir  => 'this_page_files/',
    )->get();
[download]

... and the target_dir value is used to create the directory where to save the resources. Can you maybe show some code that demonstrates the behaviour?

Despite my regression tests, tab => 'current' seems to be broken for many people. This is still an issue under investigation unfortunately.

Dear Corion, I only tested the code from the documentation (exactly as written above). And 'this_page.html' and all files will be placed in the working directory. I can change target_file location and save somewehere else but whatever location I use for target_dir, all files are always saved in the working directory. I am still using WWW::Mechanize::Firefox and would like to migrate to Chrome. Just for your information, I was not able to install WWW::Mechanize::Chrome with ActiveState Perl running despite your advice to force the installation of Imager::File::PNG if screenshots are not necessary. I tried to force the installation of Imager::File::PNG as well as WWW::Mechanize::Chrome using cpanm but it did not work. Now I am using Strawberry Perl Best regards 1nelly1	[reply]

Thank you for making me revisit my assumptions! Indeed, the parameter for specifying the download directory was never used. This will be fixed in the next release of WWW::Mechanize::Chrome, which I will likely release this evening.	[reply]

Thank you! I think it was here: `$names{ $resource->{url} } \|\|= File::Spec->catfile( $target_dir, $names{ $resource->{url} });` Best regards 1nelly1	[reply] [d/l]

Dear Corion, regarding the tab problem I just want to emphasize that I have two separate Chrome windows when calling $mech->get. Best regards 1nelly1	[reply]
