Sahi Pro - IE 10/Windows 8 - Browser Configuration

I am evaluating Sahi Pro on Windows 8 machine with IE 10.
When I launch Chrome browser, the expected Sahi Pro page is displayed and I can access the Controller.
When I launch IE, I get 'page cannot be displayed'.

Can anyone confirm what the browser settings should be in browser_types.xml and whether I need to make any changes to IE10 settings?

I can't seem to find a great deal of info about troubleshooting browser settings - other than 'use the default settings suggested'. Any help greatly appreciated.

  • Just to add to my own post, I do have a workaround for setting LAN/proxy settings manually once Sahi has launched IE 10 browser. This allows IE10 to display the Sahi pro page and launch the controller.

    Unfortunately, the browser settings are not retained once that browser window/Sahi is closed.

    Steps are outlined here for anyone that needs them:

    http://sahi.co.in/w/configure-browser-proxy

    I suppose my original question is more like: does anyone know how to permanently configure system so that proxy settings are set correctly for IE10?
  • Can anyone share with me the xml fragment "browserType" for the IE 10 configuration from browser_types.xml THAT IS WORKING on Windows 7 with IE10?
    I'm running latest Sahi OS version (as of 01/07/2014) and works with all browser I have except IE 10.0,.9200.16750.
    I've done both the manual config outlined at http://sahi.co.in/w/configure-browser-proxy and with that removed, tried jiggery-pokery with other stuff, like removing option section of browserType, changing using systemProxy to false .
    Running on Windows 7 with IE auto-detecting proxy for normal stuff with Windows Firewall turned off (have firewalls between me and the outside world, but its an internal site I'm trying to test with IE)
    With manual config, launching IE gives a This page can't be displayed for URL "http://sahi.example.com/_s_/dyn/Driver_initialized?browserType=ie"; and Alt-double-clicking gives nothing. Works fine with FireFox and Chrome, which is nice but not what I need.
    BrowserType XML fragment looks like:
    <browserType>
    <name>ie</name>
    <displayName>IE 10</displayName>
    <icon>ie.png</icon>
    <path>$ProgramFiles (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe</path>
    <options>-noframemerging</options>
    <processName>iexplore.exe</processName>
    <useSystemProxy>true</useSystemProxy>
    <capacity>5</capacity>
    </browserType>
    Lil Help please?

  • Success, in that I can now, like @danielallam above, launch IE10, reconfigure it, re-launch it (with the reconfigured tab still open to retain the proxy manual configuration) and successfully launch the Sahi Controller window with an Alt-double click.
    It's not perfect, but for my purposes, workable.

    Thanks Sahi, for a cross-browser testing tool!.

    I look forward to learning to do more modular testing. I've already saved the "Login function" script and am integrating it into my first test, so I can log into dev or test under various roles...
  • Hi orpac7,
    Is your machine a 64-bit machine?
    If yes, please try replacing the following line :
    <path>$ProgramFiles (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe</path>
    
    with:
    <path>$ProgramFiles\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe</path>
    

    Regards,

  • Hello everyone,

    I got the same problem - with IE10 and IE11. danielallam's manual configuration solution does work but it does not help to my case - I need my browser opened automatically opened and running test cases.

    I also tried Pratyush's suggestion but it does not help. The proxy configuration is still not retained.

    Anyone can help? Is there any workaround for this problem?
