Script hangs ... ???

Really strange...
If I just run it, it stops at ~line 69, however if i do the step through, it works fine. Could it be from the IE_Wait? Here's code:

Code: Select all

//Move the mouse cursor out of harm's way to avoid causing mouseover events to interrupt

Suggestions/ideas?

If it works during debug and not when run normally then that shouts "Timing". When you step through you are slowing the script down. So it's telling you you need a longer delay at some point.

Could it be from the IE_Wait

Probably needs more of them, or you need a Wait>. Sometimes the number of IE_Waits required differ at runtime to record-time. Could be something dynamic on the page which is hard to record. Try adding a Wait of a second or two.

So i updated my code with MessageModal checkpoints and added a 5 sec wait:

Code: Select all

SetFocus>Lexmark*
Press Tab * 14
Send Character/Text>firmware
IE_FormFill>%IE[0]%,str:FrameName,str:FormName,str:FieldName,str:FieldValue,0,r

Let>FrameName={"main content"}
Let>FormName={"codeupdate"}
Let>TagValue={""}
IE_ClickTag>%IE[0]%,str:FrameName,str:FormName,INPUT,NAME,str:TagValue,r

Wait>160

//End Firmware update
//Begin configuration
MessageModal>Beginning Configuration
Let>FrameName={"left"}
Let>FormName={""}
Let>TagValue={"Configuration"}
IE_ClickTag>%IE[0]%,str:FrameName,str:FormName,A,TEXT,str:TagValue,r

Wait>5
MessageModal>5sec wait over
Let>FrameName={"main content"}
Let>FormName={""}
Let>TagValue={"Network/Ports"}
IE_ClickTag>%IE[0]%,str:FrameName,str:FormName,A,TEXT,str:TagValue,r
MessageModal>clicked network

But it still does not work! It's like the %IE[0]% isn't working as a reference anymore, well, it works once and then fails. Does this have anything to do with using the SetFocus command? Does that mess up this %IE[0]% variable?

Edit:
Just tried incrementing the IE array var by 1 (%IE[1]%), but that failed with an Access Violation error. Is there a way to print the values of the %IE[x]% array?

Fixed the problem by just closing and reopening IE. That'll work for me.

It did the same thing later on in the code and I think the culprit is the page is 3 frames and the top frame is a printer status. Well that frame auto refreshes every x seconds and sometimes it 404s on the refresh. I think when this happens, it messes with the script's IE window variable or something, causing to not be able to interact with the window any further.
