# FormInputLuaScript

The path to a Lua script to use to complete an HTML form.

The Lua script must contain a function named `fillForm`. This function receives one argument, a `LuaClientSession` object. You can use the fillFormInput method to complete the form, for example:

Copy

    function fillForm(session)
        get_log():write_line(log_level_normal(), "Executing fillForm from Lua script")
        session:fillFormInput("input[id=text1]", "textvalue")
    end

When you set this parameter you can still set InputSelector and InputValue, but any field values that you set using the script override those in your configuration file. To submit the form, you must set SubmitSelector.

TIP: When you use the `get_log()` function in a form input Lua script, do not specify any arguments such as a log type. Form input Lua scripts are executed by the WKOOP process (which runs the connector's embedded browser), and the log messages are passed back to the connector and merged with the relevant log stream.
