edited November -1 in Sahi - Open Source
Hi Sumitra,

i am using the latest version of Sahi from 19.07.2011.

When i start the script, it only opens the new url and nothing then. And nothing is recorded anymore.
I tried it with firefox and everything was working fine. But in Safari it just open the new page and cannot record anything.

Ctrl+Hover - it is not possible to identify any elements. Only in firefox.

thanks.

Regards,
Pietro

    Hi Pietro,

    Could you please check if Ctrl+Hover on an element on IE works fine?

    Also, do the following steps:

    Do a “view source” on the page and search for “document.domain”. You may see something like:
    document.domain = "maindomain.com"

    This is done by the application developer, so that two frames/iframes from domains like a.maindomain.com and b.maindomain.com can communicate with each other via javascript.

    To make Sahi work correctly with this, open sahi/userdata/config/domainfix.txt and add
    *.maindomain.com maindomain.com
    Save, restart Sahi.

    Hi Pietro,

    Could you please delete the cache and check if it works fine.

    Also, can you post the url of your application?

    Hi Sumitra,

    url will not work for you because it is an internal web page which i am testing.

    But thanks a lot for your help, finally it is now working with RobotFramework.

    Best regards,

    Hi Pietro,

    If you are using Safari 5.0 or lesser, you need to use the machine name in the URL instead of localhost
    If you are using Safari 5.1 or later, neither localhost nor machine name will work. In this case, you need to modify your C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\host and add
    127.0.0.1 my.localmachine.com
    # or some such name

    (This basically creates a dummy host name pointing to your localhost, and fools Safari into believing that this is not localhost.)

    Then access your application via http://my.localmachine.com/ Then Safari will be able to automate it.
