It has been a very long time since I have responded to this, but this is actually still an issue for me. I'm bringing it up because I've needed to make more scripts that load a simple "launcher.html" with tons of links, and they are simply not working in Chrome or Edge (chromium).
Today I tried with the newest 9.4 version of Ranorex and still not working. It has never worked in any version since I posted originally. There is nothing wrong with the Ranorex Chrome plug-in, since ALL my automation works. And you can test this easily (assuming you can recreate the issue) by manually clicking a link and then spying on the new page. For example, If I load the example html from original post into Chrome (currently using version 87) and Spy on the page, there will be no DOM. If I click the link to go to Ranorex and refresh the Spy tool, everything is fine.
There is something about this simple page that either Chrome or Ranorex doesn't like... is there something I need to add to the HTML to make it work? Is it just too simple?
Here's the slightly different HTML I used for the testing I did with the screen shots below.
Code: Select all
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Link Tests</title>
</head>
<body>
<a href="http://www.ranorex.com">Ranorex</a></br>
<a href="http://www.google.com">Google</a></br>
