Hi

Ui vision for firefox 5.3.7 windows 7 Italian 64 bit

In the latest version of Ui vision open command was optimized.

I read this

  • Fixed: Firefox: Macros should run when about:config or about:blank is open.

Today i try this macro but do not give any error but do not work

  "Name": "open_site_new_tab",
  "CreationDate": "2019-12-9",
  "Commands": [
    {
      "Command": "bringBrowserToForeground",
      "Target": "",
      "Value": ""
    },
    {
      "Command": "XType",
      "Target": "${KEY_CTRL+KEY_T} ",
      "Value": ""
    },
    {
      "Command": "open",
      "Target": "http://www.google.com",
      "Value": ""
    }
  ]
}

But do not open any site, do not load any url but do not report any error and command open is in green (successfully)

Can help me to solve this ?

I remeber that firefox open command works in any internal page of firefox.

After some test I Known that Ui vision for 1 tab use the original tab when starting the works and ignore new tabs opened after by

XType | ${KEY_CTRL+KEY_T}  |  |

The command selectWindow do not works in this case because the new tab have not a website loaded and selectWindow need to work a tab with a site loaded.

Exist a solution to force ui vision to work in active selected tabs opened ?

If i need to run multiple macro one macro in one tab what is the best solution ?

This command usually open multiple tab (there are in the forum many report of this bug)

{
  "Command": "selectWindow",
  "Target": "tab=open",
  "Value": "http://www.google.com/"
}

I search a good solution to run one macro in one different tab.

Thanks

I confirmed the issue. Also, I get the same if I manually click CTRL+T to open a new tab. But if I open the new tab with a mouse click, the OPEN command plays in the new tab as expected.

I search a good solution to run one macro in one different tab.

Will selectWindow | tab=open | new url work? It opens a new tab, and now the macro (and all following macros) run in the new tab.

{
  "Command": "",
  "Target": "tab=open",
  "Value": "https://ui.vision"
},

Sometimes this command open multiple tabs, it’s random i search an alternative solution

In this code there is an error

{
  "Command": "",
  "Target": "tab=open",
  "Value": "https://ui.vision"
},
