Does not record actions on popup window
Hi,
I am trying to record an instance where I would be clicking a link, a popup will appear and I will select something from the popup. However, the think I am clicking in the popup does not record. Any ideas?

Re: Does not record actions on popup window
Hi chivracq,
I have found a similar post. http://forum.imacros.net/viewtopic.php? ... pup#p54449
But this post seems to be unanswered yet.
I am trying to automate the CRM WEB UI of SAP, and it seems to be using javascript popups.
So here are the steps I have done:
1. Go to the WRBUI and click on Normal Change under Create:
2. After clicking a Popup appears, and I should select SMMJ <- This step does not get recoreded
Hope this clarifies.
Thanks!

Re: Does not record actions on popup window
Browser Info still missing..., and it's confusing, because you mention using iMacros for FF but your PrintScreen shows Google Chrome...?
If using Chrome, Popup and Dialog Recording on Chrome is limited, it will work better with FF or IE (or the iMacros Browser). When dealing with tricky Popups, you should try to grab the URL of the Popup and open it "manually" with 'URL GOTO' (in a 2nd Tab), and that was indeed the Workaround as well in the other Thread that you mention (I had done some Testing on that other Thread, so I know the Case quite well).
There is a Wiki Page about dealing with tricky Popups and Windows...
I don't have access to any CRM WEB UI SAP System, so I cannot do any Testing for you..., but I would say, try recording in FF and IE (both Browsers handle Popups differently) or in the iMacros Browser and try to grab the URL (if any) of that Popup...

Re: Does not record actions on popup window
sorry for the confusion.. screenshot was from Chrome, but I am using firefox iMacro. anyway, thanks! will try that one out. apparently, that does not seem to work.. when I try to paste the link on a new tab, it prompts an error.

Re: Does not record actions on popup window
Another option is to install an extension in Chrome to open popups in a new tab (instead of window). You could then use the "TAB T=[x]" command in iMacros to direct your macro to the new tab. Start your macro by clearing all tabs and add the tab selector command after the TAG that opens the popup.
If the popup would normally disapear after you complete your actions in it (click Ok/Submit/Save), it will close the new tab and you'll be back to one. If not, you may have to add another "TAB" command to get back to 1 and "CLOSEALLOTHERS".
Hope that helps!
Code: Select all
TAB T=1
TAB CLOSEALLOTHERS
TAG [open popup]
TAB T=2
TAG [actions in new tab aka popup]
Hope that helps!

Re: Does not record actions on popup window
Sub-Forum and Thread were about FF and not CR, and Sub-Forum=FF means that the Pb was specific to FF only and @OP had tested in other Browsers where they didn't encounter the PB..., even if your Method sounds very Legit to me and can very probably be applied to FF as well..., chances are there is some similar Add-on for FF as well...thugmoney wrote:Another option is to install an extension in Chrome to open popups in a new tab (instead of window).

Would be interesting though if you could mention the name of your CR Add-on, and a direct Link would then be wonderful...
