Unable to attach to an IE instance


Recommended Posts

Am I doing something wrong here? 

After doing my testing in one window I then open a new instance of IE using IECreate 

$ApplicationWindow = "Client Inception | Confirmation - Internet Explorer"

Local  $oIE2 = _IECreate($ConfirmationURL)
 $oIE2 = _IEAttach($ApplicationWindow, "$ConfirmationURL")
 if @error then
    ConsoleWrite(@CRLF & "Can't attach $oIE2")
 EndIf

_IELoadWait($oIE2)


  Sleep(10000)
if  WinWait($ApplicationWindow, "", 10) then
   Send("{LWINDOWN}")
   Sleep(2000)
   Send("{Up}")
   Sleep(2000)
   Send("{LWINUP}")
EndIf

In my console I then get this which means it's hitting the error for IEAttach 

 

What is the correct way to open a new window?

This line is definitely wrong. I see two issues --

  • You don't want your variable name in quotes (unless you want it treated as a literal string 😄)
  • The 2nd parameter of _IEAttach is used to specify the attachment mode. Unsure why you would choose to pass a URL here.

Yes apologies that's where I was trying to try different switches to see if I could get it to work 

I just re-ran with the following 

$ApplicationWindow = "Client Inception | Confirmation - Internet Explorer"

Local  $oIE2 = _IECreate($ConfirmationURL, 0, 1,1, 1)
 $oIE2 = _IEAttach($ApplicationWindow)
 if @error then
    ConsoleWrite(@CRLF & "Can't attach $oIE2")
 EndIf

_IELoadWait($oIE2)


  Sleep(10000)
if  WinWait($ApplicationWindow, "", 10) then
   Send("{LWINDOWN}")
   Sleep(2000)
   Send("{Up}")
   Sleep(2000)
   Send("{LWINUP}")
EndIf

And got the same failure at the if statement

A couple of things to try --

  • You could change the flag on your _IECreate so that it doesn't wait for the page to load
  • _IEAttach will work with a partial title, so you may want to shorten it to just "Client Inception"

Thanks I did try this 

$ApplicationWindow = "Client Inception"

Local  $oIE2 = _IECreate($ConfirmationURL, 1, 1,0, 1)
 $oIE2 = _IEAttach($ApplicationWindow)
 if @error then
    ConsoleWrite(@CRLF & "Can't attach $oIE2")
 EndIf

_IELoadWait($oIE2)

I still get this however 

Can't attach $oIE2--> IE.au3 T3.0-2 Error from function _IELoadWait, $_IESTATUS_InvalidDataType

Any idea on what I can do?

Yes... your If statement catches an error condition, which you then perform a ConsoleWrite to acknowledge. At this point, you don't have a valid IE reference, yet you continue to execute the rest of the script as if you do. Easiest solution is to add an Exit statement to stop the script when the error is detected.

P.S. I recommend that you change your coding style for ConsoleWrite to put the @CRLF at the end instead of the beginning. That would result is more understandable output, ie --

Can't attach $oIE2
--> IE.au3 T3.0-2 Error from function _IELoadWait, $_IESTATUS_InvalidDataType

😉
