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

WARNING: run.imacros.net and imacros://run no longer work

Post by fastviper » Thu Apr 07, 2011 1:13 pm

Since 7.2.0.x version of plugin (don't know which one, have lates .8) running macros with run.imacros.net and imacros://run stopped to work.
DO NOT UPGRADE IF YOU ARE DEPENDAND ON THIS TO WORK.

If anyone has old version of .xpi, please share the link. I carlessly upgraded my plugin in good faith and now I'm doomed.

iOpus: this is BAD. You should have at least warned your users.

Maybe it's not intentional of iOpis for this not to work. Latest plugin contains line:
this.runPattern=new RegExp('^(?:http://run\\.imacros\\.net|'+'imacros://run)'+'/\\?(code|m)=(.*)');
which would suggest that there might be just a bug in code somewhere.
In that case: please fix it ASAP.


EVERYONE: There is a archive of old versions of plugin:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en/firefox/a ... /versions/

Going back to 7.1.1.2 fixes the issue on Linux. Now testing if it works on Windows and if it breaks Scripting Edition.

I have my OS set to upgrade addons automatically. This morning iMAcros updated to V7.2.0.8 and since then, I receive an error when opening Firefox V4.0 in the iMacros window.

Firefox can't find the file at jar:file:///home/wayne/.mozilla/firefox/1jeoydwq.default/extensions/{81BF1D23-5F17-408D-AC6B-BD6DF7CAF670}/chrome/imacros.jar!/content/rec.xul.

Opening the iMacros.jar file with the archive manager and then the folder "Content" reveals the file rec.xul is not present.

Closing iMacros and reopening does allow using iMacros.

Is there a permanent fix for this issue?

Sadly under Windows when one has iMacros 7.22 installed, going back in Firefox to plugin 7.1.1.2 does not fix anything.
So this "bug" must be intentional. Please comment on this dear iOpus.

Yes, same here. This sucks, iOpus please fix it, and please create some automated tests before releasing an upgrade live :)


Going back to 7.1 x FIXED it for me in Firefox 3.6 and Windows.

With 7.2x I am getting error messages similar to this
http://forum.imacros.net/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=7045
maybe an old bug returned. :)

I investigated this further, run.imacros.net works fine with existing iim files like this

Code: Select all

<button onclick="top.window.location.href='http://run.imacros.net/?m=#Current.iim';" class='button'>RUN</button>
Yet it fails with base64 encoded files like this

Code: Select all

<button onclick="top.window.location.href='http://run.imacros.net/?code=Q09ERTpVUkwgR09UTz1odHRwOi8vd3d3LmlvcHVzLmNvbS9pbWFjcm9zL2RlbW8vdjYvZjEvZm9ybS5hc3A=';" class='button'>RUN</button>
or any of the base64 stuff here
http://forum.imacros.net/viewtopic.php?t=3604

A fix would be very much appreciated :)

Just realized I can download from the wiki page as well.

I can confirm it solves the issue.

This is truly appreciated. Thank you Tom and the dev team.

We uploaded it Monday to the Mozilla addons site, and it currently waits for approval. Typically it takes the Mozilla team around a week to review the addon.

=> ETA = early next week
