iMacros EOL - Attention!

The renewal maintenance has officially ended for Progress iMacros effective November 20, 2023 and all versions of iMacros are now considered EOL (End-of-Life). The iMacros products will no longer be supported by Progress (aside from customer license issues), and these forums will also no longer be moderated from the Progress side.

Thank you again for your business and support.

Sincerely,
The Progress Team

This bug has existed for quite a long time. The problem is, we have not been able to reproduce it in our labs, and no user has been able to provide us with a distinct set of steps to reliably reproduce it. Without a clear-cut test case that recreates the problem, I'm afraid this issue will remain illusive.

The bug can be easily reproduced if only C: is set as the folder in Options > Paths :mrgreen:

The bug that was mentioned in my post above is the recursive-folder bug (the case where it seems iMacros is creating a deeply nested recursive folder structure on the hard drive). Do you have a specific set of steps that reproduces this issue?

Or do you have a different case that results in the "TypeError: mtree is null" error?

In my own usage, I have found that if the path set for the Macros folder has too many subfolders and/or files, then iMacros for Firefox fails to load it, or only loads a portion of it in the sidebar. But I did not receive "TypeError: mtree is null" when setting the folder to C:\ on my machine.

Yup, I'm getting
TypeError: mtree is null
too today

FF plugin 8.9.7
FF46

Steps
Uninstall and reinstall plugin into FF
In the sidebar you will see
Favourites
Demo-Firefox

I think the issue is with the path - this Favourites folder seems to equal the \iMacros\Macros folder
If I point to another location for a Macros folder, for instance C:\iMacros\Macros, then the plugin will not see the new location and stop working

Everything was fine until yesterday 8 June, for me a least
Firefox free plugin, last version
Win7
