Clicktag problem

Liberty · Post by **Liberty** » Fri Feb 24, 2012 12:44 pm

I have several problems with Clicktag.
Sometimes a script is working, somtimes both the script AND MacroScheduler hang.
To continue I have to stop MacroSscheduler by the Windows Taskmanager and restart. This is rather frustrating as the script is scheduled to start at night and the following scripts are then not running at all.

I have tried a lot of different things.
The code is trivial and the log gives nothing:

Wait>%Delay%
SetFocus>%xpage%
WaitReady>0
Let>FrameName={""}
Let>FormName={""}
Let>TagValue={"Main session"}
WaitReady>0
LibFunc>hIE,ClickTag,r,%IE [0]%,str:FrameName,str:FormName,A,TEXT,str:TagValue
Wait>%Delay%
WaitReady>0

What to do?
(I could email the the complete code separately - give then the email address)
Could I detect the hanging and do something about it?

I use 12.1.10

Most likely scenario is that the tag doesn't exist yet.

WaitReady will do nothing. It will not help with IE/WebRecorder scripts. You should use IE_Wait and Wait instead.

WR3 is better as it has WaitDocumentComplete function. Also WaitForText function so you have better ways of waiting. It also includes timeouts and will automatically wait until the tag you want to click exists before attempting to click it (or timing out depending on the timeout setting).

Thank you very much.

I will try but:

Where do I find descriptions for WR3, WaitFor etc?

(The "Main Session" tag appears immediately in the window, btw. Delay is now 4)

No reply to my important question.

Where can I find descriptions of the functions Marcus has teased(?) me with?

By WR3 I was referring to WebRecorder 3.0. And the functions I mentioned are functions provided by the WebRecorder 3.0 runtime. The documentation for them is in the WebRecorder 3.0 help file.

Thank you Marcus.

I did not know about WebRecorder 3, which is not included in the maintenance.

I will read about this program.

I have now used WaitPixelColor and it seems that this will solve the problem as well as for another case where I get Integer Overflow in a lot of small windows popping up at each second all over the screen - which is very irritating as there is also a sound coming from Windows as an error signal. In this latter case Task Manager has to be used to stop the process of windows popping up. In this case I use FindImagePos and LClick - probably also too early.
