Can’t attach to web application

[Rich]

Hi, hoping someone can help here..

I have a web app which when launched & logged in it opens an additional IE window.

I have 2 objects:

1) basic actions which does the launch etc
2) main screen which does navigation/interactions

So 1) opens the app and logs in, but the issue is when 2) is trying to attach to it, the attach stage fails.

However the strange part is that this only occurs on a Virtual Machine. When running locally on a laptop it works fine and attaches on process name/window title as expected, but on a VM the attach fails.


The only difference I can see is that on virtual machine there is a process called “iexplore.exe *32” as well as “iexplore.exe” whereas on my local machine there is just “iexplore.exe”

I have played with TabProcGrowth on both and on local it works fine even with multiple instance of iexplore.exe. Also tried the child index but still no joy.

Can only assume it’s something to do with the *32 process as that seems to be the only difference.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks
Rich

Please check with the Internet Explorer versions on both the machines local (your pc) and VM.

Hi Rich,

Although these posts are slightly different than your issue a few posts on the forum suggest that whenever there have been such issues between a remote machine and a local machine they have been resolved by making use of the Login Agent. So you may want to give that a try.
