Chrome extension gets lost on iFrames

See original GitHub issue

When i start recording in Chrome after the login i have to work in an iframe, but TA.Gui only records until i get into the iframe.

Here is the export:

https://www.linz-stromnetz.at/portal/stromnetz/snhome
click username
enter username as USERNAME
click password
enter password as PASSWORD\r
click Login
click fscontentpresentation203820 b .color

But it should go on and on.

Hi @gruselglatz, i’ve digged through the Resurrectio’s source code (the base for TA.Gui’s chrome extension). it fundamentally does not support frames/iframes. although Selenium IDE supports frame now, it seems to take a few years before rolling that out.

as the effort to implement this can’t be estimated now, i’ll keep a lookout for more datapoints on the occurrence of frames and consider alternative solutions. the current workaround is using the frame step to access elements in frames - frame mainframe | subframe_if_any

will close this issue for now to shift focus to porting tool to Windows, and look forward to more reports of examples to group them with your feedback. i know that your use case is resolved from our emails but do give a shout if there’s anything else i can help with!

Thanks for your help, and thank you for the time you invested in this issue! I see the problem here and it seems that at the moment the best choice is to do it by hand.
