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 wish that the update notice for the plug-in for Firefox would open in a new tab, not displace whatever I was working on in whatever tab happened to be open!
(N.B. Searched for: plugin update notice new tab, nothing found)

Here's a bug:

1. Create an html with this code:

<iframe src="" width="20" height="20">Frame1</iframe>
<iframe src="" width="20" height="20">Frame2</iframe>
<iframe src="" width="20" height="20">Frame3</iframe>
<iframe src="" width="20" height="20">Frame4</iframe>
2. Run this macro on it:

Code: Select all

VERSION BUILD=7300701 RECORDER=FX
SET !ERRORIGNORE YES
TAB T=1
URL GOTO=frametest.html
FRAME F=4
TAG POS=1 TYPE=A ATTR=TABINDEX:0

I would really like that the ONWEBDIALOG and ONERRORDIALOG commands to be supported and also that they can be global like !ERRORIGNORE.

that would really help me.

Web Page Dialogs are IE-specific dialogs, they do not exist in Firefox, and therefore the ONWEBPAGEDIALOG command is not needed in iMacros for Firefox.

ONERRORDIALOG is already supported in iMacros for Firefox.

Oh sorry Tom i didn't realize that, but there is another thing that i would like the next version of imacros firefox to use:

1. to add POS and/or TYPE to the SEARCH command in case a webpages source has more than one occurence of a specific string.

2. to include IMAGESEARCH in the new vesion.

I'm currently using many different macros to purchase a lot of items across the web for my company.

Each one is customized to work with a specific online reseller and it covers login, putting items in the basket, filling forms and then leading me to checkout and payment.

Since I use these macros dozens of times a day, I have seen them frequently stuck after WAIT and PROMPT commands, as you can see in attached screenshot.

I'm currently running:
- iMacros for Firefox 7.3.0.0
- Firefox 5.0.1 32bit and Nightly 8.0a1 64bit
- Windows 7 x64 SP1

As this issue occurs, a simple manual page refresh seems to wake-up iMacros and let it go ahead.
Macro is counting beyond the WAIT specified limit and waiting for an unknown event.<br />Same issue occurs after a PROMPT command.

1. Good suggestion!
2. See this post regarding DirectScreen/Image Recognition plans for Firefox.

Hello lanx,

For tricky issues like this, I usually recommend calling your macro using the built-in Javascript scripting interface. That way you can specify a macro timeout value to iimPlay(), then check the return code to determine if the macro took too long and automatically replay it.

Hi Tom,

thank you for your quick reply, but in fact it doesn't answer to my perplexity related to those "counts to wait for nothing" that always lead to execution quits with the same error.

Of course I can control error events through JS scripting interface, and also do a lot of many other interesting things... but WHY iMacros gets easily lost in those counts with no reason??

Can you provide a macro that reliably reproduces the issue? It's probably better to start a new topic for this specific issue rather than clutter up this thread. Or open a support ticket.

a really simple macro example that produces this issue is here just hit loop for like 10 times or so and the error will arise after its gone through the loop a few times..

VERSION BUILD=7361445
SET !ERRORIGNORE YES
SET !TIMEOUT_STEP 25
SET !REPLAYSPEED MEDIUM
TAB T=1
URL GOTO=http://www.tagged.com/meetme.html
WAIT SECONDS=6
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:BUTTON ATTR=ID:yes&&VALUE:*
WAIT SECONDS=1
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:BUTTON ATTR=ID:yes&&VALUE:*
WAIT SECONDS=1
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:BUTTON ATTR=ID:no&&VALUE:No
WAIT SECONDS=1
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:BUTTON ATTR=ID:yes&&VALUE:*
WAIT SECONDS=1
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:BUTTON ATTR=ID:yes&&VALUE:*
WAIT SECONDS=1
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:BUTTON ATTR=ID:yes&&VALUE:*
WAIT SECONDS=1
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:BUTTON ATTR=ID:yes&&VALUE:*
WAIT SECONDS=1
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:BUTTON ATTR=ID:yes&&VALUE:*
WAIT SECONDS=1
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:BUTTON ATTR=ID:no&&VALUE:No
WAIT SECONDS=1
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:BUTTON ATTR=ID:yes&&VALUE:*

this is a really common bug and its happend ever since the 6.215 i know alot of people who have gave up trying to fix it and in some cases stopped using imacros ff it seems to happen with most ajax type sites such as myyearbook,facebook and tagged ect i really do think somebody needs to look into this as ive seen numerous cases with people getting the same problem i do want to buy scripting edition but have been waiting for quite some time for this to be fixed before i do :) i have tried using differnt versions of firefox, stopping images from being displayed changing replay times everything and theres no way around it

some of the complaints ive seen recently are below if it helps :mrgreen:
