Problem opening browser (Google Chrome) - (Moved)

[stiv]

 

hello ,
I have a problem, when I run the autoit, the browser (Google Chrome) opens the window and closes instantly.

I have tried the following code,

ShellExecute("chrome.exe"")   or also Run(""C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe"").

Thank you for your attention

You are adding extra " 

ShellExecute("chrome.exe", "https://google.com --new-window --start-fullscreen")

or

Run("C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe")

?

[stiv]

no, I just gave the example, with any of those two lines of code, the browser opens and closes instantly.

[SkysLastChance]

This only happens when you are opening with autoit? If you manually open it will it stay up?

You could try.

ShellExecute("chrome.exe", "https://google.com --new-window --start-fullscreen")

;~ ShellExecute("chrome.exe")
Run("C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe")

copy and paste the above. Try it as is. Let us know it it worked. It did for me.

Those codes work, however the problem is that it opens the browser, and immediately closes.

on another computer if it works for me. but mine has this problem

@SkysLastChance  Yes, this only happens when I'm opening with autoit and manual opens fine

I think there might be a security issue inside chrome.  Look for it...

[stiv]

@NineI think the same, do you know what security problem it could be?

[Nine]

Not exactly.  But there is some limitations in regards of automating Chrome.

Do you have any popup blocking extensions perhaps?

[stiv]

Thanks everyone, however I created a .bat and wrote the path in the autoit code.

Did you check the help file?

Function Run (autoitscript.com)

Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & 'start /min  http://../html/myhtml.html ', @ScriptDir, @SW_HIDE) ; don't forget " " before "/c" ; 2018.08.01

• Opening the exe with no purpose, means it closes after it has run (no error)
• For RUN the param /c forces it open
• In this example the command line forces windows to use the default program associated with the target, eg chrome opens the local HTML page
• @SW_HIDE runs the command in a hidden window, but the browser opens
• The start /min param keeps the browser minimized

Thanks @Skysnake,
