Waterfox v2021/2020/2019
iMacros 8.9.7, 8.8.7, 8.8.2
MacOSX
FF takes a lot of CPU on Mac. I am trying FF alternative. Currently Waterfox is only option I can find installers. However, I run into problem with js loop.
Here's snippet of my js loop. It looks like iMacros ONLY stop current iim running not the entire js script. There's no such problem with Firefox v52 or v55.
This is causing Unresponsive Javascript problem on Waterfox.
What should I do? Do i have to give up Waterfox. What's best working combo if WaterFox versions and iMacros version?
Thanks.
function updateRow() {
iimPlay("updaterow.iim");
}
function updateMutipleRows(count) {
for(;i<=count;i++){
updateRow();
iimPlay("CODE:WAIT SECONDS=5");
}
}
updateMutipleRows(300);
Waterfox not stopping js loop completely

Re: Waterfox not stopping js loop completely
You can try windows or linux (as VM too) with Basilisk browser. Or see Pale moon and iMacros version?.

Without installer you can try a compile for Basilisk browser under your Mac system. (Good luck!)loveimacros wrote: ↑Sun Nov 07, 2021 10:09 amCurrently Waterfox is only option I can find installers. However, I run into problem with js loop.
Or you can try ui.vision in this case.
Incompleted snipped.
Endless loops without error handling is never a good idea and old browsers are not useful in the futures.loveimacros wrote: ↑Sun Nov 07, 2021 10:09 amIt looks like iMacros ONLY stop current iim running not the entire js script. There's no such problem with Firefox v52 or v55.
Better script in this case with enough errorhandling. (e.g. low iim commands, much javascript commands with checks every few seconds or auto restart)loveimacros wrote: ↑Sun Nov 07, 2021 10:09 amThis is causing Unresponsive Javascript problem on Waterfox.
Sometimes is the combo not the best solution but you can try all versions with portable edition.loveimacros wrote: ↑Sun Nov 07, 2021 10:09 amWhat should I do? Do i have to give up Waterfox. What's best working combo if WaterFox versions and iMacros version?
What is in the file "updaterow.iim" and why is "count" without declaration?loveimacros wrote: ↑Sun Nov 07, 2021 10:09 amfunction updateRow() {

Usually as workaround you can try auto restart with embedded htmlfile (or imacros://) as start helper if your script is good enough in this case.
Better loops like this:
Code: Select all
for (var i=1;i<10;i++){
iimSet("i",i)
iimPlay(macro)
}
