Randon #101 errors and ipcPromise

[PT7]

On version 7.0.14 I’m still getting random 101 errors and now I have this error…

Executing: | open | ${webpage} | |
[error] Line 53: ipcPromise: onAsk timeout 3000 for cmd “PANEL_CALL_PLAY_TAB”, args {“ipcTimeout”:100,“ipcNoLaterThan”:3310716965592,“payload”:{“command”:“HACK_ALERT”,“args”:{}}}
[info] Macro failed (Runtime 255.26s)

I loop the macro indefinitely. Sometimes it’ll go for 16000 seconds before failing.

I seem to have a clear run for a while, then get a series of errors. The errors are always after a selectWindow (tab= or open) or when using an executeScript. It’s hard to say the new versions are helping as the errors are so random, on different tabs and websites. It seems to be a Chrome thing, rather than specific to the website.

I was putting 500ms pauses after every page load / tab change. That seemed to work. But I’d removed them again when a new version came out.

Any suggestions welcome.

Hi, thanks for the report. Do you have a test macro for us? Or does it happen with any macro?

I’ve been getting this message too…
“Could not establish connection. Receiving end does not exist.”
When it fails the macro has done one executeScript, then failed on the next executeScript.

Admin: Do you want to message me and I’ll give you the macro and page links so it works for you.

Still getting lots of 101 errors. Every workaround I come up with fails in the end! Very random, and this one now…

I suspect the ‘bringBroswertoForeground’ would have fixed these earlier problems.

Error #101 Solution

The real winner command has been adding the bring browser to the foreground command to every cycle. My code has now passed the 48 hour mark. I’m happy, happy, happy after weeks of trying workarounds including different computers, browsers and OS. The ui.vision extension is starting to have a big memory footprint (2.8Gb) and combined processes are sitting at 92% of memory. So it probably will fall over soon. But I’m happy. bringBrowsertoForegound

Error #101 Solution

I realise this could be a ‘false positive’. I went through my code and compared line by line with the previous version and found a Pause 2000 after I transferred to a tab with Whatsapp. This could also be the cause of my good fortune.

I think you just saved me after 2 weeks of trial and error, the “bringBrowsertoForeground” seems to have fixed the ipcPromise: onAsk timeout 3000 I was experiencing.
I’ll confirm after further testing but a big thank you.

Also, check out my startup sequence…

Error #101 Solution

After my code ran for 48 hours I had 4 days where I couldn’t get it to run for more than 10-20 minutes. And that is the same code! I was going nuts. I then tweaked it with a lot of pauses, slowed the execution, etc. - with no joy. But then I found it was my startup sequence that did it. If I got an error, the error would show again in a few minutes, unless I did this simple sequence. I now do it every time and it’s been several days with my code running 12 hours+. I then stop it manually and re…
