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.

How to start .js file from another .js file ?

I tried with bookmarking it but it didn't work. This was the error message:

Code: Select all

[Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80520001 (NS_ERROR_FILE_UNRECOGNIZED_PATH) [nsILocalFile.initWithPath]"  nsresult: "0x80520001 (NS_ERROR_FILE_UNRECOGNIZED_PATH)"  location: "JS frame :: resource://imacros/utils.js :: <TOP_LEVEL> :: line 192"  data: no], line: 188 (Error code: 991)

Hi Tom,

Just to add an answer here. Bookmarking the js file, then copying the link from bookmark and putting it into iimPlay("CODE: URL GOTO=bookmarlink") helped me. So the procedure would be:

1. Right click on .js file
2. Add to bookmarks
3. Copy the bookmark link
4. Open another .js file
5. Place bookmark link in iimPlay like this

Code: Select all

iimPlay("CODE: URL GOTO=bookmarklink")
or

Code: Select all

iimPlayCode("URL GOTO=bookmarklink")
6. Run the .js file and it opens another .js file

Thanks Colibry!

What version of Firefox and what version of iMacros are you currently using?

The reason I ask is because we discovered an issue with Firefox 25 that prevents iimPlay

Code: Select all

 from running a .js macro using this approach and are currently investigating a fix.
