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,

WAIT SECONDS=#DOWNLOADCOMPLETE#

Post by SVD » Fri Dec 07, 2007 11:53 am

Hi,

i wrote a litte macro and included

WAIT SECONDS=#DOWNLOADCOMPLETE#

'cos i want the next macro-steps to be run AFTER the DL is completed.

It ran the marco 4 times successfully and the 5th time (and from that time on) an errormessage pops up:

Error# 809: WAIT Parameter must be the time in seconds

You find me confused... Why was it workin 4 times and then stopped?

thx for help

This is the default behavior now. No wait command is required in this case.

Hello Tech Support,

Thank you for your answer here; I know it was confusing to me. It seems like the WIKI is inconsistent with this answer so it might be good to update that document.

Hmm. I just installed the plugin for the first time. Without a WAIT command I get the following error:

RuntimeError: element A specified by TXT:Toolbox was not found

With WAIT, it works fine. It doesn't appear to me that it's by default waiting for the page to be completely loaded.

I also tried WAIT SECONDS=#DOWNLOADCOMPLETE# and got the following error:

BadParameter: expected SECONDS=<number>as parameter 1, macro line 6

This really has me scratching my head, as the documentation states this is correct. Anyone know what's going on?

I'm using iMacros 6.0.6.5 on Firefox 3.0.1

Thanks!

#DOWNLOADCOMPLETE# is not support (and not required) in Firefox. I updated the Wiki accordingly.

This feature needs to be re-added for Firefox, My scripts fail due to it not waiting for the download to finish if I add a wait time in manually in seconds the scripts work again. Something is flawed in the firefox implementation.

This feature SHOULD be enabled in Firefox. Definetely. I dont see the reason why this one was removed.

The feature is working for me, I am using Mozilla Firefox Portable 3.0.10 and the add-on of iMacros 6.2.1.5 (of-course there is a newer version available).

So, the command

Code: Select all

WAIT SECONDS=#DOWNLOADCOMPLETE#
isn't working, and gives an error message (like described above by others),

but the folowing code works perfect for me, waiting for download to complete:

Code: Select all

ONDOWNLOAD FOLDER="{{!VAR1}}" FILE=* WAIT=YES
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:IMAGE FORM=NAME:dlf ATTR=SRC:http://rs*.rapidshare.com/img*/download_file.jpg
' I saw that next command will wait for download to complete
WAIT SECONDS=1
the whole code looks something like this:

Code: Select all

'VERSION BUILD=6210326 RECORDER=FX
TAB T=1
WAIT SECONDS=1
URL GOTO=http://www.filecrop.com/search.php?w=2009+dialogys&pos=1&opt_t=1&opt_d=0&order=score&mod=dec&size_i=&size_f=&c=100
TAG POS=1 TYPE=A ATTR=TXT:{{myfile}}
TAG POS=1 TYPE=A ATTR=TXT:http://rapidshare.com/files/*/Dialogys_3.72r.part*.rar
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:SUBMIT FORM=ID:ff ATTR=VALUE:Free<SP>user
' We should wait another 100seconds
WAIT SECONDS=101
set !VAR1 C:\Dokumente<SP>und<SP>Einstellungen\p3ds\Eigene<SP>Dateien\IOJ\
add !VAR1 Manuale<SP>auto\Manuale<SP>Renault\Dialogys<SP>3.72r\

ONDOWNLOAD FOLDER="{{!VAR1}}" FILE=* WAIT=YES
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:IMAGE FORM=NAME:dlf ATTR=SRC:http://rs*.rapidshare.com/img*/download_file.jpg
' I saw that next command will wait for download to complete
WAIT SECONDS=1

' folowing command isn't required
'ONDOWNLOAD FOLDER="{{!VAR1}}" FILE=* WAIT=YES
' folowing command isn't required
'WAIT SECONDS=1
' we will close the tab now
TAB CLOSE
' wait until download is completed
' next command doesn't work in Firefox
'WAIT SECONDS=#DOWNLOADCOMPLETE#
' so we will use this one... 40min = 2400sec
' later edit: folowing command not anymore necessary
'WAIT SECONDS=2400
' and then wait the Rapid Share waiting time of 15min = 900sec
WAIT SECONDS=900
and all this code is repeated using this javascript:

Code: Select all

//imacros-js:showsteps no

var i, j, s;

for (j = 17; j < 60; j++) {
	s = "Dialogys_3.72r.part" + j + ".rar"
//	iimDisplay ("Current to download : " + s);
	iimSet ("myfile", s)
// We will create a new TAB and that will be the active tab.
//	javascript:void(window.open("url"))
	gBrowser.selectedTab = gBrowser.addTab("");
	i = iimPlay("#Current.iim");
}

Ionut
