Autofill v6 released

[thdoan]

Hi guys,

Sorry for the long wait, but Autofill v6 is finally here! I ended up rewriting most of it since migrating to Manifest 2.0 required some fundamental changes in the way things were coded. TONS of changes made it into this release (they're detailed below), but here are the big ones that I'm most excited about:

• There is now an icon in the address bar for pages that can be autofilled. Clicking on the icon activates the autofill wizard (infobar). This has been the most requested feature.
  
• You can now autofill HTML5 inputs (email, number, etc.) as well as future inputs that have not been defined, yet.
  
• You can now auto-click buttons using the new JavaScript field type. Armed with a little knowledge of JavaScript, this opens up a world of possibilities! For example, you could implement auto-login by creating autofill rules for the username and password fields, then create a JavaScript rule to click the Submit button or do a form.submit() (make sure this rule is last though).
  
• It is now much easier to navigate fields in the rules table using the keyboard. You can move between rows by press the Up/Down arrow keys just like in a spreadsheet.
  

Now that Autofill is on Manifest 2.0, this paves the way for easier updates in the future.

Cheers,

Tom

Hi, I'm not sure I understand what you meant.... can you send me the URL to the form and tell me which checkbox you want to check or uncheck? I will write a rule on my end and test it out.

Could you give some example for "auto-click buttons using the new JavaScript field type". Thank you.

thdoan於 2015年5月9日星期六 UTC+8下午5時58分43秒寫道：

[thdoan]

Here's a quick demo on how this works:

1. Add a new rule using Type = JavaScript

2. Enter this in the Value field:

document.querySelector('input[type=submit]').click();

3. Go to the Practice Form: http://www.tohodo.com/autofill/form.html

You'll notice that the Submit button on the practice form is automatically clicked.

Thanks for all your hard work on this! I love this extension :D

Sent 5 stars to the Chrome Web Store for you!

Thanks for the review, Jeremy!

With the foundation upgrade out of the way, I'm just getting started :D.

To add a pause function, temporarily autofill failure, because sometimes the autofill is wrong, we must suspend the manual correction.

Sorry, I don't understand this feature request.

[Sage Arbor]

"name" text field not autfilling.  Im not sure if this is related to the the version 6 upgrade.  Below are specifics.  I dont think the html value="" is blanking it out, I upped to a 5sec delay for autofill and it was still left blank.

using autofill v6.1.0

html of field I am updating is 

<p>Name (required) <span class="wpcf7-form-control-wrap name"><input type="text" name="name" value="" size="40" class="wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-text wpcf7-validates-as-required" aria-required="true" aria-invalid="false" /></span></p>

setting I have in autofill is

Type = Text

Name = name

Hi,

How about on this website 'http://www.supremenewyork.com/shop/all' how would i click one of the images/items? and then navigate to the checkout stage. Thank you very much

[terrym...@gmail.com]

I think the request for a "pause" button is to be able to manually stop the form from submitting in the case of a form being misfilled.

Import Bug - Importing CSV settings only imports rules

It will populate the profiles in the Form Fields tab and give all the rules, but as soon as you click on another tab all profile names are wiped. Rules are left intact.

The only profile names that persist are the ones that existed prior to import.

Happens regardless of Import Mode: append/replace

This happens even on a clean browser/extension install.

You should be able to test it yourself by trying to import the below CSV export, generated by the latest AutoFill.

### PROFILES ###,,,,

Profile ID,Name,Site,Overwrite,

c1,Wiggles,,0,

### AUTOFILL RULES ###,,,,

Type,Name,Value,Site,Profile

0,"wee","awe","",c1

1,"asef","varvf","",c1

### OPTIONS ###,,,,

exceptions,"[]",,,

delay,1,1,,

labelmatch,1,,,

overwrite,0,,,

vars,1,,,

sound,0,,,

voice,0,1,,

[thdoan]

Hi, thanks for reporting this. I imported your rules and everything looks all right, even after I cycle through all the tabs:

[cudd...@gmail.com]

Hm, odd. I'm not familiar with chrome extensions or anything, so after a bit of digging I see it has something to do with my browser: http://www.srware.net/downloads/IronPortable.zip

A default unpack of that and a fresh autofill install from the chrome page results in the error I'm experiencing. Actually if I use any of the import/append features it wipes everything I have and I have to restore it using:
Local Storage\chrome-extension_nlmmgnhgdeffjkdckmikfpnddkbbfkkk_0.localstorage-journal
Local Storage\chrome-extension_nlmmgnhgdeffjkdckmikfpnddkbbfkkk_0.localstorage

The PortableApps.com version didn't experience this problem and I recently moved to the developers official portable version as the PortableApps.com one had a lto of other issues, but it does a lot of 'local app data simulation' type stuff. Could the issue be there? And if so, would this be something you would be willing to identify and fix?

I think I've exhausted all my knowledge on the matter to help explain this sorry.

[cudd...@gmail.com]

Just tested with latest version of both iron and chrome and the problem exists.

Having Name Field problems with Autofill v6.

On my form: http://forms.palni.org/marian-ill-form/

I cannot get the required fullName field to populate but the following required email field populates just fine?

<p>Name (required) <span class="wpcf7-form-control-wrap fullName"><input type="text" name="fullName" value="" size="40" class="wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-text wpcf7-validates-as-required" aria-required="true" aria-invalid="false" /></span></p>
	<p>Marian e-mail (required) <span class="wpcf7-form-control-wrap email"><input type="text" name="email" value="" size="40" class="wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-text wpcf7-validates-as-required" aria-required="true" aria-invalid="false" /></span></p> Chris Bishop, crbi...@gmail.com

[thdoan]

I'm able to autofill these two fields with these rules:

Type = Text

Name = ^fullName$

Type = Text

Name = ^email$

[thdoan]

I imported the CSV output you provided with no problems on both my work PC (Windows 7 32-bit) and home PC (Windows 8.1 64-bit). Sorry, I'm not able to reproduce this issue ... is anyone else able to reproduce it?

[Christopher Bishop]

This problem is affecting myself and a colleague... Both my home and work PC and his work PC. I followed your instructions for a manual load of Autofill 5.5 on my home PC last night and it worked. Very weird.

--

[thdoan]

Hmm...it's possible that maybe the steps need to be executed in the correct order in for the issue to manifest itself. Can you write down the exact steps you took to reproduce the bug? Start by reloading the extension after exporting the rules. Also, please provide the export of the rules you had before doing the import.

Thanks,

Tom

Thdoan,


No real special steps, but I'll give you something that I've tried on multiple computers with the same result. Keep in mind that yes I'm referencing the PortableApps.com version, but this was working fine before.

-Download and install Chrome Portable using the following link.
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/portableapps/GoogleChromePortable_43.0.2357.124_online.paf.exe?accel_key=69%3A1434868279%3Ahttp%253A//portableapps.com/apps/internet/google_chrome_portable%3A613a294d%24dc2d7f1b9b3467fab6be33f8e3a05d2ed5a758ef&click_id=20b9c6d6-17df-11e5-950f-0200ac1d1d95&source=accel


-Go straight to your Chrome extension link page and install the addon like any other extension
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/autofill/nlmmgnhgdeffjkdckmikfpnddkbbfkkk?hl=en

Navigate to:
chrome-extension://nlmmgnhgdeffjkdckmikfpnddkbbfkkk/options.html

Click the 'close' button on the "What's new in Version 6.1.0"

Click 'Other Stuff' tab, paste in the below rules and click 'import':

### PROFILES ###,,,,

Profile ID,Name,Site,Overwrite,

c1,Wiggles,www.wiggles.com,0,

### AUTOFILL RULES ###,,,,

Type,Name,Value,Site,Profile

0,"wee","awe","",c1

1,"asef","varvf","",c1

### OPTIONS ###,,,,

exceptions,"[]",,,

delay,1,1,,

labelmatch,1,,,

overwrite,0,,,

vars,1,,,

sound,0,,,

voice,0,1,,

mask,1,,,

scale,1,,,

menu,1,,,

catsort,1,,,

Popup occurs saying: Settings imported. Click Save to commit changes.

The save button only exists on the Form Fields tab, so click on that tab and click 'save'. Without moving from this page you can see the imported profiles listed in the dropdown menu, and if you select it everything appears as normal..

If you close chrome, open a new tab, click to another tab, or even refresh the 'Form Fields' tab, your profile will be removed/wiped, but the rules imported (Type/Name/Value) are remain.

CRITICAL BUG:
If you are in the 'Form Fields' tab and have one of the imported profiles 'selected' from the dropdown box (in this example: Wiggles) when you refresh/click away/do whatever that makes the profiles 'wipe', autofill will crash completely. All rules wiped, tabs become unclickable (but you can still directly access them through URL), and ALL options in options.html#other become unchecked.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the steps to reproduce. I'll download Chrome portable and try to reproduce when I get a chance this week...

Hi CuddlyCow,

I was finally able to reproduce the bug after installing Chrome Portable. I have identified the root cause and will be fixing this in the next release. Thanks for taking the time to report it!

Hi thdoan,

I tried this extension and it is really great. I do some have questions.

For example, there's a site that require to enter State. So the placeholder in that field is "State". 

I already saved in the AutoFill the value of State = NV. But every time I load that page and execute AutoFill. The value of State always keep the placeholder "State".

I inspected the page source and here's the code-

<input type="text" autocomplete="off" tabindex="" style="width: 4px; opacity: 0; position: absolute; left: -10000px;">

As you can see, there's an attribute autocomplete="off". With this, AutoFill is not working for this field with attribute autocomplete="off".

Is there a way to have it work on these kinds of fields?

Many thanks.

The autocomplete attribute is not related to the Autofill extension (for more info, see https://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_input_autocomplete.asp). Something else is causing it not to work as expected. From your code it doesn't look like there's a name or id attribute for the rule to match against, so that could be it.

[Russell Crystal]

Thanks for the response. I already have a workaround on it.

The tool is really great and it helps me a lot. Thanks for creating this.

Another inquiry and need help.

Is it possible to automatically execute next profile after current execute profile?

============================================

For example, i have 3 profiles with the same rules.

profile1

text: name: NAME1

javascript: button("submit").click();

profile2

text: name: NAME2

javascript: button("submit").click();

profile3

text: name: NAME3

javascript: button("submit").click();

Then, I selected profile1 to execute. So basically, the name field will be populated with NAME1 then submitted. Then next is MANUALLY (right-click>Autofill>Execute>Profile2) execute profile2 for the next and so on.

Is there a way to automatically execute profile2 after profile1 execution? Automatically change the profile2 after execution of profile1?

If it is possible, can you give me some example on how to do it?

Thank you in advance.

[thdoan]

Hi Russell, you're the second person to request this feature, so it looks like it'd be useful. I have added it to my feature request list.

[Russell Crystal]

thanks for adding it to your feature request list. Just an idea and if possible, it would be more helpful to have an option to put a sidebar that will display the list of profiles on the side of chrome with an execute button on the bottom instead of using a mouse and then right click to change the profile to use. It's just an idea, to give the user if they want to turn on or off the sidebar.

Excellent idea Russell!  I was just searching to see if a SIDEBAR option existed and found your post. I am constantly right clicking the lightning bold, and would love to have the profile drop down list available at all times in a Chrome sidebar to pick and choose from.

Good idea -- this is on my to-do list. I can't do the profiles dropdown on left-click of the Autofill icon because that's used by the rule generation wizard. My idea is to assign a global hotkey to pop up the profiles dropdown in an overlay.

Can't promise when I can implement this because it would be part of a major release and right now I'm focused on porting the extension over to Firefox Quantum.

Cheers,

Tom
