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

I don't get error but when I start macro using JS file, the browser screen is frozen but the macro is still running behind. The screen will be updated every 10-15s.

I'm using Firefox 18, iMacros 7.6.0.2, Windows 8.

The same problem!
All is like a slide show!
Win 7 FF18 IM 7602
try this code to replicate:

Code: Select all

    iimPlay('code: URL GOTO=javascript:window.document.location="http://www.iopus.com"');
    if    (window.content.find('iOpus', false, false, false, false))
    {a = "next"}
    else { a = "stp"}
    while (a == "next")
    {
    try   {iimPlay('code: URL GOTO=javascript:window.document.location="http://www.iopus.com"\n WAIT SECONDS = 5\n URL GOTO="http://forum.imacros.net"\n WAIT SECONDS = 5');
       if    (window.content.find('iOpus', false, false, false, false))
             {a = "next"}
       }
    catch (e)
       {if (e) {alert ("Problem");
          a = "stop_err"
          }
       }
    }

I'm also having the exact same issue in FF18 with the viewer window being frozen, while the macro continues to run in the background.

I still have not been able to reproduce this issue. I've been testing on a fresh install of Firefox 18 with iMacros 7.6.0.2 (with no other add-ons installed) on Windows 7.

Please continue conversation about this particular issue on the following thread:

Browser screen freezes while macro runs in Firefox 18

We just released the latest beta version of iMacros-FX to address some of the Firefox 18 issues.

http://wiki.imacros.net/iMacros_for_Fir ... on_History

The issue related to SAVEAS and EVENT:SAVETARGETAS should now be fixed.

The issue related to the browser display freezing during .js playback is not yet fixed and remains elusive (c.f. Browser screen freezes while macro runs in Firefox 18).

This version also re-enables the ability to access the DOM from an iMacros .js script.

Please give the latest version a try and let us know here if there are other issues, thank you!
Regards,

Tom, iMacros Support

It works! the new beta works for me.

Before when I used the Take Screenshoot button of iMacros, it aks me for a save directory and I clicked Save but nothing appears in my save directory, also when I used the SAVE command give me an error, the same as the first post on this topic

Code: Select all

NS_ERROR_XPC_NOT_ENOUGH_ARGS: Not enough arguments [nsIWebBrowserPersist.saveURI], line: 7 (Error code: -1001)
Now, with the new beta works like it should, there is no error and screenshots are taken.

Command SAVEAS is executed but images are not saved. No message error appears.
Maybe you have

Code: Select all

SET !ERRORIGNORE YES
That's why you don't get the error

You are right !! :D

Open firefox. Then hit ctrl+o if is windows or cmmd+o if its mac osx or just go to file menu then open file. Then select the file from the dialog and then firefox will know how to install it

Hi senzaesclusiva, Just drag and drop the .xpi file inside the zip you have downloaded to a new tab on firefox then firefox will ask you for installation.

Ok, sorry for disturbing,
It comes from my unzip file on my mac.
It create a directory instead of the xpi file

I unzip the file under Windows and transfert it to mac and it works fine.

Thanks for your help.

This update is working, but.. it has created a new problem for me. While the Saveas/Savetargetas command works fine now, it seems the Click command isn't supported anymore :(

Is this only a beta issue ? I can't do without! There are some sites where the conventional method just don't work. I need my xy positions on those sites!
