Not Running Script under Screen Lock - 4REAL - already saw faq


Recommended Posts

i saw those old posts ( ) and ( http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?s=&showtopic=88115 ) and already check the faq ( http://www.autoitscript.com/wiki/FAQ#Why_doesn.27t_my_script_work_on_a_locked_workstation.3F / )

The thing is.. its REALLY not working.

My code>>

WinWait("File Download")

Sleep(1000)

ControlClick("File Download","","[CLASS:Button; INSTANCE:2]","")

WinWait("Save As")

Sleep(1000)

ControlSend("Save As","","[CLASS:Edit; INSTANCE:1]", "")

Sleep(1000)

ControlSend("Save As","","[CLASS:Edit; INSTANCE:1]", $CmdLine[3])

Sleep(1000)

ControlClick("Save As","","[CLASS:Button; INSTANCE:1]","")

Sleep(1000)

WinWait("Download complete")

ControlClick("Download complete","","[CLASS:Button; INSTANCE:4]","")

See.. im using only the methods that are suppose to run under lock screen but its not working at all !

Im using windows 2008 server + internet explorer 8 and im triggering the script on a selenium test.

I works fine when i run it when the screen is not locked but it fails and stops on the download file when the screen is lock.

Can you guys gimme a hand.. i dont know what to do!

try this

1) ControlClick("File Download","","Button2")

2) instead of ControlSend("Save As","","[CLASS:Edit; INSTANCE:1]", "") try ControlSetText("Save As","","Edit1", "")

3) check if there are no other (more than one) "File Download" windows at time of running script

1 - Its was "Button2" but it didnt worked either.

2 - ControlSetText doesnt work.. it sends the file name but when it clicks on the save button.. it try to save with the old name.

3 - No.. there is only 1 file download window at time...

Well if the script is failing here

WinWait("File Download")

Then it would seem the problem is before that, which you have not supplied coed for.

I meant for you to try this

ControlClick("File Download","","[CLASS:Button; INSTANCE:2]")

Or

ControlClick("File Download","","[CLASS:Button; INSTANCE:2]","Primary")

John,

There is no code before that line..

All the script is there and it works when im using the session..

if i close the session (close remote desktop window) it doesnt work... (created a task)

I tried to compile it for "console" and this didnt worked out.

Once more.. this script is started from my selenium project.

I know it open the script (cz it appears on the menu bar near the clock) but they dont work...

Any other idea^?

i think zedna means you can make your own debug/log.

A common way would be consolewrite (if compiled as console) or good ol' filewrite works for me.

Most functions return a value of some sort. Just capture the return and feed it to the log file to verify your code is working.

I've used that technique before to track down an elusive error with a very large script. You just have to go through the script and remove all the places where there are debug lines that you don't need, also anything inside of any While loop you're using on a GUI script, otherwise the output is unreadable.

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.
