Unable to see inside chrome://memory-redirect

Hi,

I have come unstuck trying to parse memory information out of the chrome://memory-redirect page.

I have previously been able to do this with the likes of Watir however the Ranorex Object Spy just cannot see anything inside this page.

Does anyone have a solution to this they could share?

Kind Regards
Marc

Hi Marc,

As far as I know, Ranorex is not able to recognize the elements on internal Chrome pages. See this post...

Hi Marc,

I had a closer look at this very problem and at the Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF) at all.
If Chrome is started with the "--force-renderer-accessibility" parameter, Ranorex is then able to list elements, for example, within the memory-redirect page, as visible in the following figure:
ChromeMemoryTracking.png
Unfortunately the tracking of individual elements is currently not possible; however, they are all listed properly in the tree, as visible above and can be properly highlighted. Furthermore, I was able to perform automation tasks on various elements.

Therefore, you just need to start Chrome with the option "--force-renderer-accessibility", for example by adding it to the startup link.
This option might also be useful for other Chromium Embedded Framework applications, as long as they are created with (at least) CEF3.

Kind regards,
Christian

Hello Marc,

I have had success with identifying objects on Chrome internal pages by enabling accessibility at:

chrome://accessibility

Toggle your "Global Accessibility Mode" to ON and see if this alleviates the problem.

I hope this information helps! :D
