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

Using iMacros for Chrome's Settings Page

Post by Zyke » Thu Jun 02, 2016 2:16 pm

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to clear a few specific cookies from Chrome's settings menu. Because the settings menu gets loaded like an HTML page, I thought about using iMacros to automate the process, however, a Runtime Error states that "TAG command can not be executed because it requires a Web page loaded in active tab. Current page is chrome://settings/cookies/".
It works on normal web pages, but not on Chrome's built-in ones. Is this because iMacros doesn't support them? I'm guessing it is because they are not loaded like iMacros is expecting them to.
I tried to use the WAIT command and setting the TIMEOUT to 120 (like I read somewhere online), but to no avail.
I also read about the CLEAR command, but from what I've understood, it only clears ALL cookies, not just specific ones.

Here is what I wrote (not sure about the last line, but it never got executed, so I'll test it once I solve this issue)

Code: Select all

TAB T=1
URL GOTO=chrome://settings/cookies/
TAG XPATH=".//*[contains(@class, 'cookies-search-box')]" CONTENT="google"
TAG POS=1 TYPE=BUTTON ATTR=TEXT:"Remove all shown"
Thanks

For both, => Read the Forum Rules when you join a Tech Forum..., Reason I never reacted to @OP's OP (=> FCI missing), and again @Macrobat... :idea:

+ @M, give more Info, I approved your Post because [very clean IP :D ], but the Quality of your Post is very Low... :shock:
(I wouldn't have approved your Post because of its Low Qlt is your IP had not been 100% "Clean" (for Spam etc...))

=> Post your Script and what you've tried, "I'm having the same issue." is very vague..., URL from @OP's Script is not even valid anymore...! :roll: :idea:

>>>

" is not even valid anymore"
=> Tested in CR76 + iMacros for CR v10.1.1 'Trial' + Win10_x64.
(Current CR Version is CR91.)
- (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!)
- Script & URL help a lot for more "educated" Help...
