Chrome not working correctly
Hi,
I've just downloaded a trial version of Sahi Pro. When I click on the Chrome Icon in the Sahi Dashboard nothing happens. If I remove the below options line, Chrome opens, however because the proxy-server info isn't passed in the page doesn't load.
Could you please advise what the alternative option could be for the below folder as it doesn't exist on my machine:
<options>--user-data-dir=$userDir\browser\chrome\profiles\sahi$threadNo
I am using Windows 7 Service Pack 1 and have administration access.
Below are my Chrome browser settings.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Devon

If you're using an older version of Sahi, I would suggest you to move to 5.0.2 which is the current latest released build.
$userDir refers to the sahi/userdata/ folder which will exist where you have installed Sahi on your system.
If you face the same issue even after using 5.0.2, please let us know what message is shown on your Sahi console.

I have version 5.0.2 installed. Still have the same problem. The console message is as follows:
Jun 03, 2013 8:14:09 AM net.sf.sahi.text.ProcessHelper execute
INFO: "c:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" "http://sahi.example.com/_s_/dyn/Driver_initialized?browserType=chrome";

Can you please try the following steps tell me what happens?
1) Open command prompt.
2) Go to your installed folder of chrome.exe.
2) Enter the following command:
chrome.exe --user-data-dir=<path_to_your_sahi>\userdata\browser\chrome\profiles\sahi$threadNo --proxy-server=localhost:9999 --disable-popup-blocking --always-authorize-plugins --incognito http://sahi.example.com/_s_/dyn/Driver_initialized?browserType=chrome
Here, <path_to_your_sahi> is where sahi is installed on your system.
eg.
On execution of this command, the Sahi start page should come up with the Sahi proxy.
Please let me know what happens.
I entered the above command from the Chrome\Application folder. When I hit enter nothing happened.
If I just run chrome.exe, the chrome browser opens.
Thanks
