So... if i dont research before post its a problem, if i research is a problem also...

Well, i used this udf in windows server 2012, windows 7, with the same script, also with your examples... But when i try in windows 10 doesnt work... maybe because autoit_chrome_native_messaging_host_install.exe... i dont know why but i tried in two different Windows 10 and doesnt work.

With the examples* provided in the first post.

ChromeStartUp works fine but when i try to send keys, _chromeeval or any function it doesnt work.

I can't get the Chrome UDF working. I have Windows 7 with Google Chrome up to date : Version 65.0.3325.181 (Build officiel) (32 bits)

Installation on Autoit Extention in developer Mode is ok (screenshot here).

These 3 functions are working :

• _ChromeShutdown
• _ChromeStartup
• _ChromeDocWaitForExistenceByTitle  (or due to timeout ?)

 

Other functions are not working, for example :

• _ChromeEval("alert('hello world');")

 

_ChromeEval("document.getElementById('content_reflink').innerHTML;")

returns @error:2 --> "there was no response from Chrome"

 

Any ideas how to make this work ?

The alternatives are in faq 31 described. Either uiautomation or webdriver can automate chrome.

A trick to get alert javascript or any other information is to do a sendkeys javascript:.... to the addressbar with that approach the sky is more or less the limit on automation.

I have the same problem - Win7 64, Chrome UDF does not work.
I looked for a problem with Chrome Native Messaging Host
In file  ..User\AppData\Roaming\AutoIt3\Chrome Native Messaging Host\manifest.json
It is necessary to specify the extension id " AutoIT for Google Chrome" in "allowed_origins"

  "allowed_origins": [
    "chrome-extension://leakmpklghcpopcfgkkjjfhmlkhocjlj/"
  ]

In windows 7 it is not enough, perhaps, security updates lock operation .
But In Windows XP it was launched

autoit-chrome-native-messaging-host.exe does not return any values in the output.txt file. Chrome version: Version 67.0.3396.79 (Official Build) (64-bit)

The Extension which has been provided does not install in the Chrome. Error: Apps, Extensions, and user scripts cannot be added from this website.

Please help...

I think the best way to interact with the latest version of Chrome is now the WebDriver UDF:

Hi JohnOne,

How do I get html code from a page with a frame or manipulate page elements? My English is not good, thank you!

The problem appears to be that the installer for the native messaging host is not registering the manifest file in the registry properly.

see: https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/nativeMessaging#native-messaging-host-location

Manually creating the registry entry fixed the problem for me.

# from a cmd prompt or Run command

REG ADD "HKCU\Software\Google\Chrome\NativeMessagingHosts\com.sean.consoleread" /ve /t REG_SZ /d "C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\AutoIt3\Chrome Native Messaging Host\manifest.json" /f

@seangriffin THANK YOU SO MUCH. . . .

Just to add, Developer mode must be on to make it work.

IE is no longer supported by the website I need to automate. Some controls (buttons, checkboxes, etc.) are already not functioning properly. I'm mentally preparing myself to rewrite my scripts for another browser.

How is this UDF holding up..?

Search For Webdriver Udf

It will accomodate all browsers(probably) (Chrome+FF+Opera+Safari) and no  more rewrite of scripts

Hola!

Currently I have Windows 10, version 1809,  I'm also running Chrome version 73.0.3683.86 and work correctly by only ensuring that after installing "autoit_chrome_native_messaging_host_install" and have the correct id of the Chrome extension to be used in the manifest file:

😄 \ Users \ <User> \ AppData \ Roaming \ AutoIt3 \ Chrome Native Messaging Host \ manifest.json

"allowed_origins": [

    "chrome-extension://leakmpklghcpopcfgkkjjfhmlkhocjlj/"

  ]

To know your extension id you must enable the developer mode and it immediately appears, after that you update the manifest and everything will work fine.

I hope it helps, greetings.

Hi Seangriffin,

I am using your "Chrome UDF for AutoIT 1.0" to try to automate a daily process on Chrome which the vendor website is stick to.

I made a very good progress. THANK YOU!

Now I have some challenges: 

1.  Cannot actually change the value of DatePicker on the web page even though the text is changed correctly. I used _ChromeObjSetValueByName("EndDate", "1/3/2019")

2. One checkbox on the web page only has ID but no name. I need to check it. There is function called _ChromeInputSetCheckedWithValueByName() but no _ChromeInputSetCheckedWithValueById().

3. How to click on a specific <nav> <ul> <li> menu item ?

Do you have new version for  "Chrome UDF for AutoIT"?

Thanks!

“AutoIT for Google Chrome.crx” and ”autoit_chrome_native_messaging_host_install.exe“，

For some reason (such as network Forbidden), I can't download the required plugins or extensions here. Which friends can upload them to the "https://github.com/" website? Thanks.....
