How to script a HTTP transaction that generates new browser windows

[Former Member]

Hello,

I am starting (again) with recording http scripts for EEM and I have the impression that the recorder cannot handle it when the http session generates a new browser window and continues from there.

When during recording the scripted application opens a new browser window the eem recorder initializes the fields Sent Bytes, Received Bytes, Requests and Responses. If in the new window I perform actions I do not see that anymore in the EEM recorder.

If I stop the script and import it into the EEM editor the last step performed is the last step before the new window opens, after that nothing.

This leads me to believe that EEM cannot handle this. Is that correct? I definitely hope not because that is a very often occurring http browser behaviour.

Thanks & regards

Tom

Hi Tom,

I never faced issues with new browser windows which can pop up all the time. The only potential issue I could think about would be a new browser window which opens a new process, however I don't know who to force such a behaiviour on user side. Up to now new browser windows always get scripted for me (if the recording worked in general).

As a first step I would propose to check if you have the newest version of the EEM-recorder. Take a look here:

And by the way for each activity the counters in the recorder window have to change (increase) during browser activity. if this doesn't happen the activity is not recorded and will not show up in the script later on.
