Subject: field() failure
method "field" seems to be broken in 1.08, and Perl 5.8.5 on SUSE Linux 2.6.8-24.10-default. $mech‐>field( $name, $value ); Error: Can't call method "value" on an undefined value at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/WWW/Mechanize.pm line 1033. In other parts of my code, I call method "fields," but here I needed the option of leaving off unused field with an if statement. This is the actual line that breaks the module: $mech->field("album_name", "$album_name"); $album_name is correctly defined. Let me know if there is anything else I can send to clear things up.... or tell me what stupid thing I did wrong that I'm not seeing. Thanks, havoc

[guest - Mon Jan 10 18:13:14 2005]: Curious... The code for both field() and value() are unchanged between 1.04 (my previous working version) and 1.08 are completely untouched.... grr.

I just verified that rolling back to 1.04 does make this problem go away... havoc

I will bet a shiny new dime that 1) You're not checking the return code of your get(), and 2) the get() is failing. Post your code in its entirety, please. And check the FAQ. -- Andy Lester => andy@petdance.com => www.petdance.com => AIM:petdance

Subject: okay, looks like uri() is the culprit

You are correct, Sir! I got sloppy there. Show quoted text

I'm note sure why get() is failing. It's attempting to get() the wrong URL, but still a valid URL. Looks like uri() is either returning an incorrect URI, OR we're not correctly following a redirect, as stated in another bug report. I'm guessing it's a redirection failure. Show quoted text

I am SO ashamed of my code! Do I have to post it? havoc
