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

Below I have a macro to log in to iMacros forums and it halts after about 6 seconds with the login page completely loaded:

Code: Select all

WAIT SECONDS=1
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:TEXT FORM=ACTION:http://forum.imacros.net/ucp.php?mode=login ATTR=ID:username CONTENT=User

Hi,

It works fine here. On which line does it halt on your end?

Best regards,

This is the full error, which only appears sometimes when my issue happens:

Code: Select all

RuntimeError: element INPUT specified by ID:username was not found, line: 4
In my macro, of course, I have my username in the correct place.

Hi,

This will happen if you are already logged in and there is no "login" input box.

Best regards,

works perfectly here. Will cleaning the cache help?

No, in fact I think that clearing that cache is the problem.
