Hello,

I'm seeing an error message within the application while playing back the script "enable JavaScript on browser to use the app". How can I enable the JavaScript on the browser ? Any help is appreciated. Thanks !

Browser : Firefox

RPT Version : 10.0.2

I made sure that "JavaScript" has been enabled on browser. Is there something I should change in the Rational Performance tester ?

Hi, this refers to the Browser tab underneath Protocol Data view.

Technically this is not an error but more informational.

Javascript is not executed at playback of a test in RPT because running javascript is something a browser can do, and at playback RPT doesn't use a browser to play back the test, it sends recorded HTTP requests under the covers.

In fact a test RPT is really a java program with no UI.

So for the browser tab RPT will render the page the best it can which means using static elements, but nowadays a live webpage will be rendered by executing javascript or other code.

When such code is executed in a browser it usually puts no load on the web application server itself, this is a client side activity.

If the javascript does make a call to the web application server the this would be done by a HTTP Get or Post request. This Get or Post is recorded and played back by RPT like any other recorded request

why did you turn it off? by default JS is on. if quickly, delete and reinstall FF
