// History
//
// 10/2012 v1.2 Ryan Izzo (ryanizzo.com)
// Updated to use new Southwest Check In page, added validation
//
// 7/2014 v1.3 Ryan Izzo (ryanizzo.com)
// Moved script to GitHub since UserScripts appears dead
//
// 10/2014 v1.4 JR Hehnly (@stormchasing)
// Added phone number entry to auto-text boarding pass docs to mobile device
//
// 3/28/2016 v1.5.1 Trevor McClellan (github.com/trevormcclellan)
// Fixed phone number entry system
//
// 9/2017 v1.6 JR Hehnly (@stormchasing)
// Initial changes to handle new Southwest confirmation lookup page
//
// 10/03/2017 v1.6.1 JR Hehnly (@stormchasing)
// Got the script to a state where check-in works, but no auto-text boarding pass yet.
// Have not determined what event listeners need to be triggered in the phone number form field.
// Submits sucessfully if last phone number character is manually typed, but fails validation if it's only filled by the script.
//
// 3/02/2018 v1.7 JR Hehnly (@stormchasing)
// Messy update to get this working somewhat reliably again.
// Removed the 'text boarding pass' feature that wasn't working
// Increased default start second from 02 to 04 since Southwest would complain about 'outside the 24 hour check-in window' when using 02
//
// 8/23/2019 v1.8 JR Hehnly (@stormchasing)
// Adjusted default seconds to :07
// Verified working with this setting
// General code cleanup
//
// TODO: Use Southwest's server's time instead of the client's clock.
// TODO: Test select passenger page.

Is this broken? I just tried in Chrome Incognito Mode and had several instances up to attempt checking in at different second intervals. All of them kicked off but were hung at "Checking In..." and didn't actually check in. I only got checked in after manually hitting the button and got into the B group...

Thanks for this! Is it me or does the delay not seem to work? It looks like it just immediately pressed the check in button when the minute turned over without any wait. I got an error and luckily was babysitting it so I could just rehit Check In.

I tried to "check-in" a second time and again, it clicked on Check In immediately.

edit: just realized, i guess it populates the seconds.

Still working well for me. I have v 1.7 running on Tampermonkey on Chrome. I set up multiple tabs and it checked me in at :06 past the hour according to my PC clock. I used it yesterday, too, to check someone else in, and that time it used the :08 delay. Thanks for the super handy programming!

I've used a version of these scripts in the past with no problems, but now, I can't seem to even get the timer fields to show up when running! I tried refreshing, new tab, and other tries, but still can't even get the input fields to show up with this script active in Tampermonkey Chrome.

I am new to this type of script. Where do you specify the confirmation number and passengers?

You navigate to the check in page in your browser, you might have to submit the form once and let it 'fail' in order for you to see the auto check in form.

Anyone else still using this successfully? I just tried today, and did not receive a Boarding Pass confirmation message as listed here: https://www.theartoftravelhacking.com/automatic-check-southwest-flights/ , so after a few minutes I went ahead and checked in via the Southwest mobile app, and still received A38 boarding. Not bad, and it could be that this is a low volume flight, or, the script worked and did not give me a confirmation (?).

RipVanW commented Nov 29, 2020

Worked again for me, using the default :04 delay with zero error messages. A50, which is good considering heavy travel around Thanksgiving, even in 2020. I'm still on v1.7--kind of apprehensive about updating since it's working flawlessly for me. I still have to go in to the app or the site and get my boarding pass, but that's no big deal to me. This time I used a standard Chrome window for my :04 delay, and had 4 incognito windows open with +2 sec delays for each. Didn't need them, unlike in the past.

Tried to use it to check in today and the initial check in click got triggered on time.

Then on the next page I got this error:

submitNow: An error has occurred: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'click')

I'm a Python programmer so not sure how to debug why submitNow() is triggering on the second page (which should be handled by autoPassengerPage()?).

No errors in the console either.
