Browser Scripts

1. Browser Scripts

Hi there

I have 2 Browser scripts

Script 1 Starts a Browser / Navigates to a URL & Logs in. It also has the close browser.

In the middle I use an Execute Script Command that calls a secondary script GetSiteData script and passes it the Browser object.

In the GetSiteData Script I have a browser object set as a Script Input Param

When I run the first script it all looks good and then as soon as the first command runs on the second script I get the following exception. NoSuitableContextException

Have Tried

Passing over the Broswer Object from Script 1 to Script 2

In Script 2 I try a WebAttach first that throws a different exception

Not sure if I can even do what I am trying to do.

Thanks

Hi Troy,

If I understand you correctly, you are trying to pass the browser handle created in script 1 to a child script 2. This works for me. See code snippet below:

Script1
defVar --name browserId --type Browser
webStart --name browser --type "Chrome" browserId=value
executeScript --name script2 --parameters "in_param_browserId=${browserId}"

Script2

defVar --name in_param_browserId --type Browser --parameter
webAttach --browser ${in_param_browserId} --name browser

Thanks Nigel I am sure that is how I had it setup. The thing is after you have worked on something for so long you forget the changes you made and what worked and what didn't. I will take that for a spin but I am sure it will work. Looks logical enough

Thanks

Troy
