CEF technology limitation warning for Edge (Chromium) browser.

Post by ziasim » Tue Jun 01, 2021 5:24 pm

Hi,

I am trying to automate user login on "login.salesforce.com" using Edge (Chromium based) browser. So, as I launch browser using the URL, Ranorex shows CEF technology limitation warning although it keeps identifying all UI elements of this page. But, when I ran test case which do login to this web site, it was unable to identify the login fields and hence test failed.

I read couple of similar posts where people asking similar question and the reply is that enable CEF debugging port with 8081. The questions are

- As ranorex guide said, "adding the following command line argument to the Run application action in a recording module"
-----As I mentioned, I am opening web page with login.salesforce.com URL, Does it mean I need to pass "–remote-debugging-port=8081" argument with Host.Local.OpenBrowser(varURL, varBrowserName, "", false, true, false, false, false, true) action?

- I also tried to run the compiled .exe with –remote-debugging-port=8081 argument but no use because it did not enable remote debugging port as well.

- I also uninstall/install Edge browser through instrumentation wizard but with result.

Ranorex version is 9.4.1 and Edge browser version is 91.0.864.37 (64-bit).

Any thoughts on how can I make sure to enable remote debugging port in above mentioned scenario?

Yes, you must pass –remote-debugging-port=8081 to OpenBrowser action. This should do the trick with debugging port.

Hi odklizec,
you must pass –remote-debugging-port=8081 to OpenBrowser action
If do don't mind asking (not from coding background) how should I pass this argument to OpenBrowser action?

This is the line which opening browser in my code

var process ID = Host.Local.OpenBrowser(varURL, varBrowserName, "", false, true, false, false, false, true)

Should I pass this argument as browser parameter like

var process ID = Host.Local.OpenBrowser(varURL, varBrowserName, "–remote-debugging-port=8081", false, true, false, false, false, true)

I tried above method but it opened a browser tab with error "can't reach this page"

What is correct method to pass argument to OpenBrowser action??

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Try this:

Code: Select all

var process ID = Host.Local.OpenBrowser(varURL, varBrowserName, "-–remote-debugging-port=8081", false, true, false, false, false, true)

Hi odklizec,

In my case on edge(Chromium) browser when pressing the back button arrow it works but it continues to display the warning message :
"
UI elements in your CEF AUT can’t be identified because the remote debugging port isn’t enabled in your AUT or can’t be found. Make sure you’ve enabled it and set it to 8081.
Process: 'msedge' (pid 13100)
https://www.ranorex.com/help/v10.0/inte ... eshooting/
(This message is only shown once per report.)
".

How can I resolve the warning or what I'm missing?

It might not be what you are looking for, but as a workaround you could use an Alt + Left Arrow key shortcut (Alt+Left) instead of clicking the back button on the browser. You are most probably just concerned with your app, and not the UI elements on the browser.

Hi Fergal ,

I appreciate.
I'm aware of the control key shortcut. What concerns me is that with Chrome and Firefox I'm able to perform the same action without CETwarning. So, why does it occur with Edge Chromium, and how can the CET warning be removed or not generated from the report?

Hi,

At first, please make sure the browser is started with –-remote-debugging-port parameter, as mentioned above. And at next, are you sure the page is identified as DOM, not as Form?

Here's the back buttom path:
"/form[@title=<tittleName>]//button[@accessiblename='Back']"
The web portal window-path:
"/dom[@domain=<urlName>]/body//div"

The thing is with Chrome and Firefox browsers, the back button click-action works fine and returns no CEF warning. So with EdgeChromiun return the CEF warning.

Any workaround or a way in which the warning can be disabled or filtered from the report by not using the Report level of a test suite structure method, but a method that disables CEF warning specifically?
