FF.au3 (v0.6.0.1b-15) [End of life]

[GoldenMike]

Danp2,

 

It is showing TCP 0.0.0.0:4242 [CrashplanService.exe] - this is my backup service I am using. Should I just change the port # for MozRepl? Would that solve the problem? Thanks again for all the help. This stuff is way over my computer understanding.

[Danp2]

You will need to change the port for one of them. If MozRepl, then you need to specify the new port number when appropriate (_FFConnect, _FFStart, etc).

[GoldenMike]

Danp2,

That worked. Thank you for helping, I appreciate it. Have a good Day

-Mike

​Is the link to FF.au3 in the first post correct? I am having a problem when trying to download the file.

 

​

[Danp2]

Apparently the link is no longer valid (I'm guessing that it ceased working after the forum upgrade). I'll see what I can do to get it fixed.

Edit: Should be working now. Thanks for bringing this to my attention!

Missing Declaration of "$sRet"   in Function "_FFCmd" causes error if 'AutoItSetOption("MustDeclareVars", 1)'  is set.

Please add in FF.Au3 at line 2325: 

Local $sRet

Here's the latest version, which I've been running for a while. Let me know if you encounter any issues with it.

I'm trying to get the HTML table example from http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_tables.asp into an array but can't seem to get it to work.

Here's my error:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\Include\FF.au3" (2994) : ==> Array variable has incorrect number of subscripts or subscript dimension range exceeded.:
$aTable[$i][$j] = $aCols[$j + 1]
$aTable[$i][$j] = ^ ERROR

 

My whole code:

#include <FF.au3>
#include <array.au3>

_FFStart()
_FFOpenURL("http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_tables.asp")
_FFTabSetSelected()
_FFLoadWait()
$aTable = _FFTableWriteToArray(0)
_ArrayDisplay($aTable)

What am i doing wrong?

[Danp2]

I don't think you are doing anything wrong. Looks like a bug in the function.

[noobest]

I found this line within the _FFTableWriteToArray function

$aTmp = StringSplit(_FFCmd($sCMD), $sRnd, 3)

According to the documentation
https://www.autoitscript.com/wiki/StringSplit

Flag = 3 doesn't exist? Could this be the reason?

[Danp2]

That's not the issue. Flag value of 3 is just $STR_ENTIRESPLIT + $STR_NOCOUNT.

i have some issues with "_FFLinksGetAll()" - it read links from wrong (not currently active) tab in FF. Is there some kind of cure to this behaviour?

it mostly happen if tabs are: rearranged or opened/closed few times

[MarkLee]

How to get count tabs ? Please help me !. Thanks.

Take a look at the function _FFGetLength.

Is this UDF can control the new version of FireFox via MozRepl?

Upon installing MozRepl, I can't find how to start it, I can only "Enable" or "Disable" it, I guess there's no need to activate it on startup in the new version.

Upon debugging this code:

#Include <FF.au3>

_FFStart("http://ff-au3-example.thorsten-willert.de/")

If _FFIsConnected() Then
    Sleep(2000)
    _FFAction("presentationmode", True)
    Sleep(2000)
    _FFOpenURL("http://www.google.com")
    Sleep(2000)
    _FFAction("back")
    _FFAction("presentationmode", False)
    Sleep(2000)
    _FFOpenURL("chrome:bookmarks")
    Sleep(2000)
    _FFAction("alert", "Bye bye ...")
    _FFQuit()
EndIf

The Firefox starts with a specific URL but produce an error. This is what I'm seeing in the output:

__FFStartProcess: ""C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -new-window "http://ff-au3-example.thorsten-willert.de/"  "-repl 4242 "
_FFConnect: OS: WIN_81 WIN32_NT 9600 
_FFConnect: AutoIt: 3.3.14.0
_FFConnect: FF.au3: 0.6.0.1b-15
_FFConnect: IP: 127.0.0.1
_FFConnect: Port:   4242
_FFConnect: Delay:  2ms
_FFConnect ==> Timeout: TCPConnect Error: 10060
_FFConnect ==> General Error: Timeout: Can not connect to FireFox/MozRepl on: 127.0.0.1:4242
_FFIsConnected ==> Socket Error: -1

Upon testing the command "telnet" in the command shell of my operating system while my Firefox is still open, this is what I'm seeing:

'telnet' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

I'm using Windows 8.1, do I also need to turn on the Telnet Client under Windows Features to be able to control the browser via MozRepl, which means my clients also need to install the MozRepl and turn on the Telnet Client when they use the executable Firefox automation files that I'll going to compile? This looks hassle for my clients..

Upon installing MozRepl, I can't find how to start it, I can only "Enable" or "Disable" it, I guess there's no need to activate it on startup in the new version.

Look under the Tools > MozRepl submenu. There are options there to start / stop the service and also an Activate on Startup option.

There's no "Tools" menu in my updated Firefox.

Are you using the latest version? If you are, can you show me a screenshot?

It's there... you just don't see the menu by default. Try pressing Alt+T...

Can I use AutoIT with mozrepl in RDP environment (multiple users in the same time)? Mozrepl uses TCP port, should I set up other ports for every user? If MozRepl is installed on each user and I'm trying to connect via AutoIT UDF FF on some users i get error with timeout.

Can I open two tabs and operate on the one in the background without selecting it?
