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

iMacros should do that by default. Can you point us to a site where iMacros fails to wait long enough?

Here you can see a page where Imacro fails with a timeout.
The page simulates a continuous loading and in this way the macro goes in timeout after the upload of a photo:

How can I solve this ?
Thanks

Initially I though that the macro continues before the site was loaded, but now it looks like the opposite is the problem: the macro times out even though the site is already loaded.

Here, the typical workaround is as follows:
1) Set !TIMEOUT to a low value
2) Set !ERRORIGNORE to ignore the timeout
3) Call the problematic command
4) reset !TIMEOUT and !ERRORIGNORE
