It not working

Can you help me?

 

 

[Danp2]

You'll need to be more specific because I don't know how to fix "not working".  Is it just not launching Chrome or what?

What version of Autoit are you using? Ditto for Chrome.

I am using Atuoti v3

[Danp2]

Does the script just hang at that point? How long have you waited?

Please post the complete results of the Scite output window.

[NguyenLe]

My complete results:

_WDStartup: OS: WIN_7 WIN32_NT 7601 Service Pack 1
_WDStartup: AutoIt: 3.3.14.2
_WDStartup: WD.au3: 0.1.0.1b-1
_WDStartup: Driver: chromedriver.exe
_WDStartup: Params: --log-path=D:\New folder\New folder\auto4 V1.651\chrome.log
_WDStartup: Port:   9515
__WD_Post: URL=HTTP://127.0.0.1:9515/session; $sData={"capabilities": {"alwaysMatch": {"chromeOptions": {"w3c": true }}}}

 

[Danp2]

Ok... so you're running Autoit 3.3.14.2.   Now, how about Chrome? What version and is it installed in the default location?

Also, what happens at this point in the script? Is the script still running (it appears to be)? Does it just hang or pause? For how long?

[NguyenLe]

The version of Chrome which I am using is 63.0.3239.132

Nothing happens while running the code and the script is running

@NguyenLe Please answer the bolded portion of my earlier question. If Chome isn't installed in the default location, then ChromeDriver can't locate it in order to launch it. This can be addressed, but you then have to indicate this location to the ChromeDriver.

Also, check the chrome.log file located in the script directory to see if it gives any additional information that may help with this issue.

[NguyenLe]

The default location of Chrome: C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application

The version of Chrome:  63.0.3239.132

[Danp2]

@NguyenLe Please let me know if you did the follow as previously requested.

[NguyenLe]

Thank you Danp2.

I'm glad I was able to use it normally after rebooting.

Thanks for your answers

[NguyenLe]

How do I open multi Tab in Chrome?

Thank you very much

[Danp2]

Good question. Not sure to be honest. I'll post back if I come up with a good example.

[NguyenLe]

Ok, Thank you very much about your UDF.

[Danp2]

Looks like you can do it with the Execute Script feature --

_WDExecuteScript($sSession, 'window.open()', '{}')

Once the tab is created, you will need to switch to it using the correct commands before you can interact with it.

[Danp2]

Here's a helper function for creating a new tab and optionally switching to it --

Func _WD_NewTab($sSession, $lSwitch = True)
    _WDExecuteScript($sSession, 'window.open()', '{}')

    Local $aHandles = _WDWindow($sSession, 'handles', '')

    If $lSwitch Then
        _WDWindow($sSession, 'Switch', '{"handle":"' & $aHandles[UBound($aHandles) - 1] & '"}')
    EndIf
EndFunc

 

[NguyenLe]

Ok thank you

Can you add to your UDF for everyone to use?

[Danp2]

Yes. I'll continue to add functions as necessary to better enable to use of the UDF.

At this point, need to determine if these "helper" functions belong in a separate source file.
