Unable to save/use macros

[GeneralSan]

Hi,

I am trying to record a macro, that includes 120 clicks (filling a farm in a game
When I click stop, I see the recorded contents in a fresh window, the macro content seems fine.

When I am trying to save, nothing gets saved.
It doesn't matter what storage I choose.

When I click Files, I get a red text (indicating an error, I presume) "Error occurred while building file tree: Error: Error calling method on NPObject."
When I click Bookmarks, I get a list of files that I can find in the indicated directory in Preferences. The filename, that I used to save the macro exists, sometimes with extension .iim (shown in the macros window), sometimes without the extension (only shown in the macros window, cannot be found in the directory). But when I click "edit", It always is empty.
When I click play, it doesn't do anything (probablu because it is empty).

I am using iMacros for chrome 3.5.3.
Chrome 14.0.825.0 dev
Mac OSX 10.6.8

(The installation of iMacros for chrome did not include any demo macros.)

My preferences are set like this:
Macros directory path (I created this folder manually, and it contains the macro files mentioned above, with extension .iim): /Users/username/iMacros/Macros/
Logs directory path: /Users/username/iMacros

I have attached the log file, found in the iMacros folder.
I have also found a log file in the /Users/username/ folder. (but I have experimented with the previous beta as well, so I don't really know which version generated which file). I attached this one as well. (zipped both first, because .log is not allowed in your forum)

Hello GeneralSan,

Can you try it with a non-development release of Chrome?

Tom,

I am running:
OS X Lion (10.7)
Chrome: 13.0.782.112
iMacros: 3.5.3

When I click on the iMacros button on the toolbar, I get the following error in the iMacros window:
Error occurred while building file tree: Error: Error calling method on NPObject.

This used to work fine earlier - I am not sure what broke it. I tried changing the Macros directory path but it doesn't seem to make a difference.

Thanks for your suggestions in advance.

Hello,

Thanks for the report imacros_newbie. Unfortunately I am unable to test on OS X at this time, but will keep you posted.

I have Windows 7, Chrome 13.0.782.215, iMacros build 3520704

When I try save a macro as a file, it closes but does not save the new file. It just loses any and all changes.

I can save as a bookmark okay, but it seems buggy when I run it- it says SAVEAS is an unknown command.

Hi ztodd,

SAVEAS for saving web pages is not supported, as the Chrome API does not expose this feature (yet). Please see the following:

Thanks Tom. Do you know if that applies also to the EXTRACT version of the SAVEAS command?

I do this command first, and it runs ok and pops up a dialog showing the extracted code:

TAG POS=1 TYPE=DIV ATTR=ID:d_sectors EXTRACT=HTM


but then it gives the syntax error when I try to save it to file when I do:

SAVEAS TYPE=EXTRACT FILE=GT.CSV

If it won't save to file, I wonder if there's a way to copy it to clipboard? Or some other way to get to it?

Hi ztodd,

Currently, the only way to "get" the extracted data is if you are using the iMacros Scripting Edition to automate iMacros for Chrome, then you can retrieve the extracted data by calling iimGetLastExtract() in your script.

The SAVEAS functionality is going to be implemented in the next major release of iMacros for Chrome, but unfortunately I don't know the time frame just yet.

Yep, copying it to clipboard works.
