TruClient script won't wait for page to complete? ...

[Speedmaster]

Could use some help from a fellow TruClient user.

I'm using LR 11 and TruClient to test a Web site that opens PDF
reports in a new browser tab. I have that functionality working fine.

The problem is that when the TruClient script presses the button to
generate and open the PDF, the script doesn't wait for the operation
to complete. it just immediately moves on to the next step in the
script.

This is of course a problem as I would like to wrap the operation in a
transaction to time it.

HP support told me that as long as I set the step's "End-Event" to
"Step network completed" it should wait for the operation to complete.
But it is definitely _not_ waiting.

Any ideas or recommendations?

Thanks very much in advance,
Chris

1. try to increase the resolution to see if any function which is recorded has been ignored.
2. if not then it seems the pdf generation is client side activity. you might want to confirm that.

My guess is that the browser is handing off the .pdf URL to the OS and then the acroreader.exe is doing the actual download.

My thought is that you would insert a javascript function to (or a c-function) to download the URL manually.

In jQuery you would use .load() function or .get() function.

$('#result').load('ajax/test.html');

Thanks, Abhishek.

I didn't have any luck to see if anything else was recorded at a lower resolution. And you're right the display and opening of the PDF is definitely a client-side operation. But I was hoping to be able to wrap a transaction around the retrieval/download of the PDF.

Thanks again,
Chris

Thanks, Nick. I've been trying that. But no luck so far. When I choose the Tab/Browser window, LR lets me. It says "Wait on browser".

 But when I then run the script I get:
"Wait on browser ** failed - target object does not support the specified action"

Hi Speedmaster,

As you are aware- TruClient uses Object identification technology. What you can do here is - validate for an object of the pdf, afterwhich introduce measure stop function. 

For the pdf that opens in another tab, you can change the broswer tab by simply putting the argument as "Browser=2".

Thanks very much for posting, Swaraj. I appreciate it.

I think I know what you mean conceptually, but not sure yet how to do it with VUGen. Any more specific steps? I'll start trying it.

Thanks again,
Chris
