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

SAVEAS TYPE=CPL works in Firefox but not in iMacros Browser

Post by ecraigil » Fri Jan 27, 2017 12:11 am

Versions:
Windows 7 Enterprise
iMacros Browser V11.1.495.5175 Trial Version
Firefox 50.1.0
iMacros for Firefox 8.9.3 (not the latest, but 9.0.3 didn't detect when the page load was complete so I had to revert)

I have a macro that I recorded in iMacros for Firefox has worked properly in Firefox for the last several months. It doesn't do much:

Code: Select all

VERSION BUILD=8890130 RECORDER=FX
TAB T=1
URL GOTO=<URL hidden>
SAVEAS TYPE=CPL FOLDER="C:\\" FILE=a1.htm
The page has several frames populated by external HTML files. When the script is run in Firefox, all of these external HTML files are saved in the a1_files folder, but when the exact same script is run in the iMacros Browser, it doesn't save the HTML files. All other files, including graphics and JavaScript are saved in the iMacros Browser. I saw in the Wiki that TYPE=CPL isn't supported in Chrome, but it didn't say anything about the iMacros Browser.

We have a backend program that was written to parse and perform several calculations on the data in these HTML files that are missing, and the easiest solution would be to get this to work. We need to automate this process to run late at night, which is why I got the trial version. How can I get the HTML files from the frames to be saved in the a1_files folder from the iMacros Browser?
