No matching IE instance found

[nodochau]

Hello,
I create a piece of code to login to the website and doing things. I log in successfully and there is another button that I need to press so that I can get into the field that I want. I used IEGetTags command and I got the error:
"No matching IE instance found". Tried to use IE Element Wizard but still got the same error.
Here is my code:
let>myurl=http://xyz/Illuminator?service=Personalization
IECreate>IE[0]
Wait>.5
IENavigate>IE[0],myurl,
Wait>1
IEGetTags>myurl,input,O,tags
let>k=0
Repeat>k
add>k,1
let>tag=tags_%k%
Position>name=j_username,tag,1,p
Position>name=j_password,tag,1,p1
Position>name=uidPasswordLogon,tag,1,p2
if>p>0
let>kk=k
endif
if>p1>0
let>kkk=k
endif
if>p2>0
let>kkkk=k
endif
Until>k=tags_count
IETagEvent>myurl,input,kk,,xxx
IETagEvent>myurl,input,kkk,,yyy
Wait>.5
IETagEvent>myurl,input,kkkk,click,
//This is a new url after I logged in
Let>mynewurl=https://xyz/Illuminator?service=...
IEGetTages>mynewurl,newurl

Please help!

If the URL changes, the URL in the browser is not matching the URL in your script. You'd need to use the URL it changes to - or just part of it, such as the domain.

Your script navigates to http://xyz/Illuminator?service=Personalization, for example, and then uses exactly the same URL for the rest of the script. So the URL it's looking for needs to be http://xyz/Illuminator?service=Personalization

If you did something like this...
let>URL1=http://xyz/Illuminator?service=Personalization
let>URL2=http://xyz

IENavigate>IE[0],URL1
log in, etc
....
then..
IEGetTags>URL2,input,O,tags
etc..

..Then your issue would vanish.


or...

let>domain=http://xyz.com
let>page=Illuminator?service=Personalization

IENavigate>IE[0],%domain%/%page%

IEGetTags>%domain%,input,O,tags

Hi Dorian,
Yes my urls are different
the 1st url is http://xyz/Illuminator?service=Personalization
and the 2nd is https://xyz/Illuminator?service=...
You can see myurl and mynewurl.
And if I want to use IEGetURL to get the 2nd url after I log in, what IE_Reference should I use?

Thanks

Some commands use the URL, some use the IE Reference. You can see which by watching the syntax helper at the bottom. For this script you'd just continue using IE[0]

I'd be inclined to only use the full URL for the IENavigate, and https://xyz/ for everything else that just requires a partial URL, as above.

I think earlier there was one command I should have recommended, but it wasn't in the forefront of my mind.

If the URL changes, you can simply use IEGetURL to get the new URL. You can then continue to use the same variable for the URL.

Code: Select all

Let>TheURL=https://www.google.co.uk/
IECreate>IE[0]
IENavigate>IE[0],TheURL,res
Wait>1

IEGetURL>IE[0],TheURL
MessageModal>TheURL
