My script seems to stop working at 13 loops. If I replay the script it'll stop at a different loop number so it's stopping at random. It just doesn't want to continue the script. See the screenshot I attached.
Code: Select all
VERSION BUILD=7220523 RECORDER=FX
SET !ERRORIGNORE YES
SET !TIMEOUT 5
SET !DATASOURCE C:\Documents<SP>and<SP>Settings\Administrator\My<SP>Documents\iMacros\extract.csv
SET !DATASOURCE_COLUMNS 1
' let {{!LOOP}} start with value 1
'fetch data from line no. {{!LOOP}}
SET !DATASOURCE_LINE {{currentLine}}
'use data from first column in the current line
URL GOTO={{!COL1}}

i've had this error a few times - workaround could be:
set firefox to noncheck in ur antivirus software - PLEASE DO NOT WITH YOUR MAIN FIREFOX INSTALLATION
use an extra installation/portable firefox with imacros to do this!
it seems this is a timing problem while reading/saving from/to local files

Hello Ruriko,
Another thing you should consider is calling your macro from a Javascript using the built-in
Javascript scripting interface. Then you can specify a timeout value to
iimPlay, check the return code to determine if your macro got stuck, and try playing your macro again.

I know nothing about javascript. Do you have a ready script to just play the macro over and over again?
I started using imacros again after a year, and my script with the csv from last year still works. BUT, only when I push Play. When using the Play (Loop) button it stops after just 1 loop. No matter what Max value I set it at.

Hello iopusnewb,
What value are you entering for Max? Max. needs to be greater than the starting value of !LOOP that you specify in your macro. For example, if you have SET !LOOP 55 in your macro to start processing at line 55 of your input file and you want to loop your macro 10 times, then you need to set Max. to 65.
