Hi Team,

 

I have requirement wherein I need to open Browser as RunApp. I cannot use TargetURL option as targetULR option will open Browser in Private Mode.  We have some restriction and due to which we cannot open the URL in private mode. 

I am insisted trying to open the chrome/Edge as RunApp option which opens the browser in Normal Mode and ULR is also getting opened.  My next target is click some other link which are present on landing page. I am using TAB key to bring the cursor to link but Tab key is not working and it is not bring the cursor to link on which I want to click.   Hence I am unable to move a head.

Below is my basic INI file 

[General]
RunApp="C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe %targeturl%"

[TaskSequence1]
SendKeys={TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}

 

Has any one face similar issue ? can anyone please tell me how was it solved. thanks in advance

 

Regards,

Imran Aliyani

Hello ​@immi563 

If you open the browser without using ps_automate and click the tab does it move to the correct tab? 

And is this a public URL that I can test?

Hi John 

thanks for reply . in browser also with tab i am unable to bring current location and hence cannot click it. 

URL is private hence you won't be able to access it

Hello ​@immi563 

If you are not able to navigate to the correct link using tab outside of ps_automate the ps_automate tool will not be able to. You may need to work with the team setting the inPrivate policy on your RDS server so it works with an InPrivate window.
