iMacros Extension freeze

OS: Windows 10
iMacros version: Firefox Extension - 10.1.0.1485

Hi i think it is more about imacros issue itself and not macro problem
Hope someone can notify the developers of this issue as it is easy to reproduce

I've encountered this problem on several pages, but it happens every time on this one.
When I play my script a few times, it just freezes.
The only solution is to refresh the page or stop/start macro


case 1 (Works)
1. navigate manually to https://www.galeria.de/Spielwelten/G201 ... rt=0&sz=24

2. then run macro:

Code: Select all

TAG POS=1 TYPE=A ATTR=CLASS:gkk-product-hit-tile__thumbnail-link<SP>gkk-product-hit-tile__thumbnail-link--vue
TAG POS=1 TYPE=A ATTR=TXT:Produktdetails
TAG POS=1 TYPE=TD ATTR=TXT:Artikelnummer<SP>/<SP>EAN
TAG POS=R1 TYPE=TD ATTR=TXT:* EXTRACT=TXT
BACK
TAG POS=2 TYPE=A ATTR=CLASS:gkk-product-hit-tile__thumbnail-link<SP>gkk-product-hit-tile__thumbnail-link--vue
TAG POS=1 TYPE=A ATTR=TXT:Produktdetails
TAG POS=1 TYPE=TD ATTR=TXT:Artikelnummer<SP>/<SP>EAN
TAG POS=R1 TYPE=TD ATTR=TXT:* EXTRACT=TXT
BACK
TAG POS=3 TYPE=A ATTR=CLASS:gkk-product-hit-tile__thumbnail-link<SP>gkk-product-hit-tile__thumbnail-link--vue
TAG POS=1 TYPE=A ATTR=TXT:Produktdetails
TAG POS=1 TYPE=TD ATTR=TXT:Artikelnummer<SP>/<SP>EAN
TAG POS=R1 TYPE=TD ATTR=TXT:* EXTRACT=TXT
BACK

case 2 (not working - frezee after first loop)
1. navigate manually to https://www.galeria.de/Spielwelten/G201 ... rt=0&sz=24

2. then run macro in loop mode:

Code: Select all

TAG POS={{!LOOP}} TYPE=A ATTR=CLASS:gkk-product-hit-tile__thumbnail-link<SP>gkk-product-hit-tile__thumbnail-link--vue
TAG POS=1 TYPE=A ATTR=TXT:Produktdetails
TAG POS=1 TYPE=TD ATTR=TXT:Artikelnummer<SP>/<SP>EAN
TAG POS=R1 TYPE=TD ATTR=TXT:* EXTRACT=TXT
BACK
as for the task, it is the same code, but when it uses the loop variable, the script freezes

Hi lukasz,

Apologies for the late reply. I just tried your test macros (thank you for providing a simple test case with clear explanation!), however, both versions worked successfully for me. I then changed the repeat value to Max. 10 and re-ran the second macro, and it still completed all the loops for me without any freezes.

Are you still able to reproduce the issue on this site?

If so, a couple of suggestions...
  1. It might be a timing issue, try adding a small delay using the WAIT command before and/or after the BACK command
  2. Try clearing the browser cache and see if the issue persists
Regards,

Tom, iMacros Support
