IRCheck

Post by Tony Dumpling » Sat Oct 24, 2009 9:42 pm

I'm getting an error on the second playthrough of my macro. I set it to loop 5 times and the first time works, the second time I get a box that says IRCHECK, anyone know what that means? Screenshot below.

A little more info. When it gets stuck in that IRCheck, I can click anywhere on the screen and it starts again.

I'm on a Mac running Windows XP SP3 in VMware Fusion if that makes a difference.

I've narrowed the problem down to one line (I think)...

Code: Select all

IMAGECLICK POS=1 IMAGE=twitterupdate.bmp CONFIDENCE=90
I tried the two other click methods and neither worked so I had to screenshot the button. It always works, but sometimes this method is was causes the IRCHECK hang. BTW, I let it hang for about an hour earlier, and nothing changed, just the number counted up.

IRCheck indeed means: checking for image in IMAGESEARCH/IMAGECLICK command.

Is there some site/macro we can use to recreate this issue?

if IRcheck means searching for image
Speculation!!
can it mean that the image wasn't loaded the second time
OR
the image name was changed

THat would make sense, every once in a while I get an error telling me it can't find the image. It ALWAYS works the first time. I've attached the image and code i'm using.

Code: Select all

TAG POS=1 TYPE=TEXTAREA FORM=ACTION:https://twitter.com/status/update ATTR=ID:status CONTENT={{!EXTRACT}} 
WAIT SECONDS=1
IMAGECLICK POS=1 IMAGE=twitterupdate.bmp CONFIDENCE=90
WAIT SECONDS=50
Any ideas why I would get an IRCheck error, but only sometimes?

ps - my file is a .bmp but the forum disallows bmp so I converted to a jpg.

Could you probably post the site's code as well?
Perhaps we can find a way that does not use IMAGESEARCH?

If you have a twitter account, just log in and go to twitter.com You won't see the update button unless you're logged in.

Here is the code from my page if it helps.

Code: Select all

 
 <textarea cols="40" rows="2" id="status" name="status" accesskey="u" autocomplete="off" tabindex="1"></textarea>
      <div class="status-btn">
        <input type="submit" name="update" value="update" id="update-submit" class="status-btn round-btn" tabindex="2" />
      </div>

Hey Hannes, thanks for the quick replies. I tried your code and it just skips over it, as if it worked, but the button never actually gets clicked. I tried putting in the full path C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\iMacros\datasources\twitterupdate.bmp but that gave me an error the first time.

Would it help if I sent you my whole macro?

Hey ocwill sorry I missed your reply. Are you actually running it while logged into twitter? I'm pulling from a datasource, running through a filter, then posting the content via !EXTRACT. I doubt that would make a difference since when it gets to twitter it's just a paste right?
