Update 5.1.0 : imacros is broken

Post by geleto » Thu May 10, 2012 6:30 pm

Hello, I see people have been having problems with 5.0.1 - today my imacros updated to 5.1.0 and this broke my scripts. I am not sure whether the previous version was 5.0.1 or 4.x, but it was working fine.
Here's a sample script:

Code: Select all

VERSION BUILD=7300701 RECORDER=FX
TAB T=1
URL GOTO=http://ready.arl.noaa.gov/READYcmet.php
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:TEXT FORM=ACTION:/ready2-bin/main.pl ATTR=ID:Lat CONTENT=40.13
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:TEXT FORM=ACTION:/ready2-bin/main.pl ATTR=NAME:Lon CONTENT=25.95
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:SUBMIT FORM=ACTION:/ready2-bin/main.pl ATTR=VALUE:Continue
TAG POS=1 TYPE=SELECT FORM=NAME:NoFormName ATTR=NAME:m CONTENT=2
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:SUBMIT FORM=NAME:NoFormName ATTR=VALUE:Go
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:SUBMIT FORM=ACTION:/ready2-bin/metgram1.pl ATTR=VALUE:Next>>
Works fine in Firefox

Today the iMacro extension on chrome auto-updated. Promptly all my macros stopped working. It hangs at line 7 (Wait seconds = 3) and just stops. Is there some fix for this or can I go back. I'm dead in the water until this is resolved. :shock:

The issue is :ERROR_ABORTED confirmed... we are working on it!

Snortles: I could not recreate the wait issue, as the macro requires a login. do you see the issue somewhere else, too?

I only use macros with the wait statement in them on getglue.com so I don't know if it would work elsewhere. The same macros work fine on firefox. It's a stumper as it's just a wait statement... if it was some fancy command I'd be less surprised for it to cause a problem. If I get time I'll try and write some dummy script that just spins around and does some waits, but it seems clear to me there's something a miss in it working with Chrome.

I may try using the extension on IE and see what happens there as well.

I wrote a dummy test for the wait statement below and it seems to run fine. Still no go with the other one I posted. I assume now that though it hangs on the wait statement in all my other macros it must be something else a foot. The same macros are running fine still under firefox.
