Exception: Unable to load requested page

[kravietz]

Latest GitHub clone is unable to load more complex pages and it crashes on timeouts. Small pages load, but if the page has any external content (like images) I get this exception:

>>> g.open('http://example.com/glb_home/en/home.jsp')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/Ghost.py-0.1b2-py2.7.egg/ghost/ghost.py", line 560, in open
    return self.wait_for_page_loaded()
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/Ghost.py-0.1b2-py2.7.egg/ghost/ghost.py", line 774, in wait_for_page_loaded
    'Unable to load requested page')
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/Ghost.py-0.1b2-py2.7.egg/ghost/ghost.py", line 755, in wait_for
    raise Exception(timeout_message)
Exception: Unable to load requested page

Looking at sniffer output I see that Ghost actually requests all these external files (and receives them), but then it somehow crashes on a timeout. I tested it on many pages and it was consistent behavior.

Can you provide the real URL you have it crashing with?

I'm seeing this error for http://www.daftdrop.com/#!searchView?houseId=690094

I worked around it by increasing wait_timeout in ghost.py from 8 to 999.

Hi,

I'm having the exact same problem, with any url. I'm using the package from pypi.

Thanks

I just had this problem with a few URLs too and there were varying reasons. For those still having this problem, two recommendations:

1. Try curling the URL in a standard terminal first. See if any irregularities stand out.
2. (If no irregularities in step 1) @dregin's recommendation to increase wait_timeout is solid, but you don't need to edit ghost.py to accomplish this anymore. You can simply set wait_timeout during your Ghost instantiation. E.g., ghost = Ghost(wait_timeout=999)

Was this ever resolved?

[taliastocks]

Still having this issue. It looks as though this is related to https://github.com/jeanphix/Ghost.py/issues/32. The solution is not to use the command line to run ghost.

i get it on ghost.py-0.1b3-py2.7 and pyside 1.2.1 change the file ghost.py on line 915 add 'self.loaded=True' def wait_for_page_loaded(self): """Waits until page is loaded, assumed that a page as been requested. """ self.loaded=True self.wait_for(lambda: self.loaded, 'Unable to load requested page')

Doesn't work for me with OS X Yosemite and PyQt4 ("unable to load"). But strangely it does work after installing PySide ("brew install pyside").

[socrateslee]

the same as mintigo-efi on ubuntu 14.04, got the timeout exception with pyqt4 but working after installing pyside(apt-get install python-pyside).

Wow am I late to this party! I also had luck in setting the timeout higher than the default of 8. Some things must have also changed in the code since OP, because ghost = Ghost(wait_timeout=999) doesn't work. I am able to get it to work by doing the following: ghost = Ghost() session = ghost.start() session.wait_timeout = 999 session.open(your url)

@muddafugga Thanks! it works for me

[frank0718]

session.wait_timeout = 999 worked

[mickelfeng]

@frank0718 yes ,it works， but the process is blocked ,still waiting. I think selenium+ phantomjs is more stable than Ghost.py
