GXtest Recorder Troubleshooting

Instalation (GXtest Recorder)

An error message appears saying that the library Microsoft.mshtml.dll is missing

You need to download the library and copy it here Windows\System32. After the instalation is completed, you need to copy the same library into c:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\

GXtest Recorder is already installed but it not appear in Internet Explorer

By default GXtest Recorder is disabled. You need to enable it in View | Toolbars | GXtest Recorder.

Plus the property "Enhanced Security Configuration" must be enable to (Tools | Internet Options | Advanced | Browsing | Enable third-party browser extensions)

Recording (GXtest Recorder)

Perhaps you need to enable it. Go to "View -> Toolbars -> GXtest Recorder".

GXtest Recorder doesn't record an action I am performing

this situation could happen due to different causes

• Try to record the same action again. Make sure to wait until the entire page was loaded.
• Perhaps the element where you are trying to record the action is not generated directly with GeneXus, for instance it was "manualy" generated with html. A possible solution could be to use custom commands for it.
• If the problem persists, ask for support, and if it is possible, providing the html of the page where you are trying to record the action, explaining the action.
