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 also reported this issue to Bugzilla as it seemed to be related to changes in FF (37.0.2 works fine but 38.0.1 and subsequent don't work), see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1169910
Hi cellarman,

yes it seems to be the same problem. Thanks for reporting this issue as well to Mozilla Bugtracker. The problem is still present in FF 39. Maybe you can update that to the Tracker (so far I haven't got an account there).

Unfortunately there is still no feedback from Tom about the actual status of that bug...

@Tom: Is there anything I / we could do get some progress regarding that problem?
My 2cts, not surprised you still get the Pb in FF39 if you had it in FF38, no Update from TechSupport but 'Skippyto' (recently) mentioned some Workaround using some other (Login Manager) Add-on in some related Thread, I can't quickly locate it, not the Thread you referred to in this current Thread...

OK, found it...:
- Authentication issue since FF 38.0.1:

You can use an addon for automating authentication instead of using iMacros onlogin command : https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... /autoauth/

Hi KingTutt

Yes, FF 39.0.1 also doesn't work with my macro either. I've reported this to Bugzilla.

Hoping for a solution soon...

"According to the Code should give 5 laps, but just give me one."
=> Nope, "SET !LOOP 5" tells your Macro to start picking Data from your DataSource from Row 5...
I guess what you need is "SET !LOOP 1" and you specify 5 in the 'Max' Field for the 'Repeat Macro' Section in the iMacros Side Panel before running your Macro with the 'Play (Loop)' Button...

Thank you for posting the macro. I have confirmed the problem and have logged this issue for further investigation by the development team.
We just pushed out a new version of iMacros for Fireofx (v8.9.3) that fixes this issue. It will eventually be published in the official Firefox add-on repository, or you can download it now from our archive at:

i have a feature request, could you please change it so that when I play a macro in a loop and there is some error that I can see how many times the macro repeated successfully? Occasionally I will be running a macro in a loop and there will be an error loading page and then iMacros will stop and reset 'Current' to 1. I would like to know how many times the loop was successful. Thanks

Yep, I completely agree, I've been missing this Info many times...! +1
(For a few of my Macros, I have even implemented it myself with a mini-TEMP File where I keep track of '{{!LOOP}}' + Timestamp, but it's a bit cumbersome...)

Instead of "how many times the Loop was successful", it would be easier to get that Info about the current Loop together with the mini-Report about the RuntimeError in the form:
RuntimeError: element INPUT specified by ID:login was not found, line 14, in loop {{!LOOP}} of {{!LOOP_MAX}} (Error code: -921)
=> If the RuntimeError occurred during Loop 34 of 100, we then know that 33 Loops were successful...

And that allows me to ask again for a Built-in Variable called '!LOOP_MAX' that we could access (= get + set...!) programmaticly from our Scripts...!

I just downloaded version 8.9.4 BETA from the wiki (I did not find a version 8.9.3) and can confirm, that the beta fixes the login problem reported by me in combination with Firefox 41. Hopefully this version will be pushed to official Firefox add-on repository soon, as FF 41 complains about the missing signature (but still runs the add-on).
Thanks for fixing the bug!

iMacros for Firefox 8.9.4 has been fully reviewed by Mozilla and is now available in the Firefox add-ons gallery.

Hello!
After updating to iMacros for Firefox 8.9.4 my macros was not working properly.
After downgrading to the 8.9.2 version and comparing macro perfomance profiles on both versions I found out the following:

As it was properly on the version 8.9.2:
Macro: check-main.iim
started at 01:24:59.707 ended at 01:25:29.825
duration = 30.118 seconds
status: Page loading timeout, URL: https://by.e-konsulat.gov.pl/, line 6(-802)
As it is now on the version 8.9.4:
Macro: check-main.iim
started at 01:13:04.971 ended at 01:13:35.608
duration = 30.637 seconds
status: Page loading timeout, URL: https://by.e-konsulat.gov.pl/, line 6(802)
So now after page loading timeout macro finishes with positive return code 802 (it should be negative -802)

Hum, Tom, I see that you are Online, there is some Thread where Users have been trying to catch the attention of TechSupport for a long time without much success except once from 'Shital' but that's already from months ago (the Thread was opened in May 2015 already and the first and only Reaction from TechSupport came in June without any Follow-up...) and they are getting a bit upset...:
- Is ANYONE monitoring these forums?

The Thread about the Issue, in the CR Sub-Forum:
- iMacros for Chrome won't work after PC restart
- (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!)

Funny, I just looked at that post again a couple of seconds before seeing your latest reply here. I'm aware of the issue, it's just low priority for now.
