Java - Get error when trying to login to a website with selenium webdriver (htmlunit)

Question

I tried the below code with actual credentials for Indeed.com, and I get an error: Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchElementException: Unable to locate a node using //*[@id="signin_email"]

I get a similar error when I use By.id instead of By.xpath, any idea what's going on?

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.htmlunit.HtmlUnitDriver;


public class Testing {

public static void main(String[] args) {

                WebDriver driver = new HtmlUnitDriver();

                driver.get("https://secure.indeed.com/account/login?service=my&hl=en_CA&co=CA");
                driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id=\"signin_email\"]")).sendKeys("[email protected]");
                driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id=\"signin_password\"]")).sendKeys("needHelp");
                driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id=\"loginform\"]/button")).click();  
                driver.quit(); 

 } 
}

You need to enable java script, see the updated code.

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.htmlunit.HtmlUnitDriver;


public class Testing {

public static void main(String[] args) {

                HtmlUnitDriver driver = new HtmlUnitDriver();
                driver.setJavascriptEnabled(true);
                driver.get("https://secure.indeed.com/account/login?service=my&hl=en_CA&co=CA");
                driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id=\"signin_email\"]")).sendKeys("[email protected]");
                driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id=\"signin_password\"]")).sendKeys("needHelp");
                driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id=\"loginform\"]/button")).click();  
                driver.quit(); 

 } 
}
