Prevent HtmlUnit 2.13 from executing JavaScript
html, htmlunit, java, javascript
Solution
Although `setJavaScriptEnabled(boolean)` was deprecated it was added to the `WebClientOptions` member of the `WebClient`. Here is the doc.
In order to disable JavaScript you should do this:
webClient.getOptions().setJavaScriptEnabled(false);
Additionally, if you you want to get the raw HTML code from the webpage you should take a look at this question:
How to get the pure raw HTML of a page in HTMLUnit while ignoring JavaScript and CSS?
Take into account that even the `asXml()` method change the formatting as well as the content of the web page you fetch (even if JavaScript is disabled).
Problem
Here is my code to get the page: ``` WebClient webClient = new WebClient(); HtmlPage page = webClient.getPage(url); ``` The problem is the `webClient` always executes javascript automatically and throws me a list of error. I just want to get the raw source. How can I prevent it from executing script? I've found there is a way in version 2.9: ``` webClient.setJavaScriptEnabled(false); ``` But `setJavaScriptEnabled()` function was deprecated. Anyone knows how to solve this problem? Please help me. Thank you so much.
