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.

SET !ERRORIGNORE YES cancels out SET TIMEOUT_STEP

Post by Bfdtown » Thu Mar 03, 2016 11:11 pm

Hello, i'm using the imacros extension for Google Chrome on a computer that is a little bit slower so i like to
SET !REPLAYSPEED SLOW
SET !TIMEOUT_STEP 60

Which usually resolves most issues, but I am using a rather long anD complex macro and I would like to keep this slow process but also use

SET !ERRORIGNORE YES

When I do this, the macro doesn't wait anytime at all for elements to load, it ignores them and moves on. Is there anyway to use SET !ERRORIGNORE YES with a delay?

Is there a way to SET ERRORIGNORE with a delay?
FCIM...! :mrgreen:
=> iMacros for CR +...? Read my Sig...

Which 'TIMEOUT' Command are you talking about...!? (There are 6 or hum 8 actually different Commands, well 2 are deprecated, but still 4 or 6 different ones...)
Post a Script as Example, using your own Script or one of the Demos...

But no, you cannot set '!ERRORIGNORE' with a Delay, you can only toggle it ON/OFF at will during your whole Script...

- Script & URL help a lot for more "educated" Help...

Oh...!, now indeed, but you have been editing your OP while I was typing my previous Reply, there was only "TIMEOUT" mentioned when I quoted your Original OP which has been edited:

Your OP is now a bit clearer indeed than when I replied but still doesn't comply with "FCIM" (last time I ask...) and a mini-Script to reproduce your Pb is still missing..., even if hum, I guess I'll be able to add your 2 Lines to some Demo-Macro myself...

You could try running your Script on FF and/or IE as well to see if you notice a different Behaviour...
