document.write for javascript returns error on IE8

briagn

Hi,

I have been getting an error from IE8 saying "Syntax error". I do not see this when viewing the page without using sahi or viewing any other pages that don't have the following document.write javascript statement with sahi. This problem appears for both http and https url in the address bar. This issue makes testing become more time consuming as we have to click for the details of the error every time to make sure there is no real or new errors introduced. Is there a way to at least suppress this error? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Sorry, I had to replace the . with (dot) so that I can post the message.

Thanks!

Hi briagn,

It looks like some problem in the content-type of the JS file, and Sahi is injecting code into it.

Add
https://xxxxxx[.]xxxxxxx[.]com/xxxxxx
to sahi/userdata/config/exclude_inject.txt,
Restart Sahi, and check.

You can also disable the error popup by unchecking
IE -> Tools/Gear Icon -> Internet Options -> Advanced (Tab) -> Uncheck "Display a notification about every script error"

Restart IE and the alerts should go away.

Regards,
Narayan

Hi narayan,

Thanks so much for your quick reply. It works!

I guess I did tried putting in the url in the exclude_inject.txt earlier through the Sahi Dashboard's Configuration, but probably I never restarted the Dashboard and the setting didn't got kicked in. Now, everything is running smoothly.

Thanks a lot for your help on this awesome application!!
