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

It's an internal website so can't make it public (also only accessible from a certain ip), but macro has just ONLOGIN and URL GOTO . Testing it in Current.iim , main thing would be to add it to my javascript macro but still won't login.

Code: Select all

ONLOGIN USER=****** PASSWORD=******
URL GOTO=https://XXXXXX/XXX

Code: Select all

macro="CODE:";
macro+="ONLOGIN USER=****** PASSWORD=******"+"\n";
macro+="URL GOTO=https://XXXXXX/XXX"+"\n"
iimPlay(macro);
Have you tried adding a small delay (WAIT SECONDS=2) after the URL GOTO? Perhaps the macro is terminating before it has a chance to 'see' and handle the dialog.

Added waiting time after every command but it doesn't get to the last WAIT SECONDS command since it's waiting for page load which will only load after submitting proper user and pass

Hi rstancuna,

Thank you for the additional information. I confirmed that ONLOGIN does not work with legacy iMacros for Firefox and later versions of pre-Quantum Firefox (I only tested as far back as Firefox 52.9 and it does not work in that version either). Unfortunately, we do not provide fixes or updates for older/legacy versions of iMacros.

It does work with iMacros for Firefox 10 in Firefox Quantum (Firefox 57 and later).
Regards,

Tom, iMacros Support

Thank you for the update. If possible, please update the wiki with a note stating that it does not work with legacy iMacros.

No problem, I added a note here, and confirmed that it stopped working with the release of Firefox 51.0. So, if you are willing to downgrade your Firefox to v50.1, you can continue using legacy iMacros for Firefox with the ONLOGIN command.

Better Pale Moon, Waterfox (v56.x) or Basilisk with security/bugfix updates than old firefox v50.1. All firefox-based with XPCOM (XPI). :idea:

Hum..., 2nd Command that FF v51.0 had broken... (from v8.9.7 for FF): The 'FILTER' Command also got broken and rendered useless with/from FF v51.0. (I have reported it several times already, but never got "acknowledged"...)
- (F)CI(M) = (Full) Config Info (Missing): iMacros + Browser + OS (+ all 3 Versions + 'Free'/'PE'/'Trial').
- FCI not mentioned: I don't even read the Qt...! (or only to catch Spam!)
- Script & URL help a lot for more "educated" Help...

Sorry we missed that when you first reported it.

Reason: Issue was reported by chivracq very soon after the release of Firefox that broke this functionality.

Euh...!?, Post edited, ah-ah...!:
"Yeah, we are not very likely going to chase down breaking changes in older versions of iMacros due to browser releases. We simply don't have the time or resources to do that and need to give priority to current versions." :wink:
=> Yeah-yeah, I know, but that Command has been broken since that FF Version, and hum, my Mistake actually, it was actually still working in FF51, but "only" got broken in FF52 or FF53, and has always remained broken since... And the "easy Solution" was to not support it anymore in v10.0.2 for FF, ah-ah...! OK, fair enough...! :wink:

And yep indeed, I had reported it directly as soon as I had found about it:
- 'FILTER TYPE=IMAGES' crashes FF53/54...! (June 2017)
It is also listed in my List of EnhReq's, Item_15 about 'FILTER'..., and I must have mentioned it numerous times in nearly all Threads from the last 2 years related to 'FILTER'...

Pity it's not supported anymore (or got broken by FF), that's one of the Reasons I'm still staying @ v8.8.2 for FF on PM v26.3.3 for my "Prod" Env.... :oops:
I have some Workarounds, but the Toggle is not easy... (and slow)...
