Anyone using Typing Macro with vSphere web client?

Hello,

We have seen issue like this when the Initial Wait delay was to short and that the cursor was not in the appropriate field.

Have you tried to increase the Initial Wait time of the macro to have enough time to put the cursor in the username field?

Best regards,

Ah ha... so the issue certainly seems to be the cursor isn't in the username field. The only way we're able to get this to work is by manually placing the cursor in the username field after the macro is fired, but before it runs (during the initial wait period).


Is it possible to somehow tell RDM to move the cursor to the username field before running the macro (or as part of it)?

Hello,

Unfortunately, it's not possible to tell RDM where to put the cursor.

However, what can be done, it's to load the website and see if you able to position the cursor in the username field with your keyboard using the TAB key. If yes, you can add {TAB} at the begin of your typing macro to position it properly.

If this is not possible, you would need to position manually prior to the macro execution.

Best regards,

The problem is, Im finding after I make the connection, when I press tab manually, it also switches to the Dashboard tab.
Is there a way to prevent this from happening or is there another key combination I can use to change cursor focus to the web site that's loaded in the Web browser connection?

*EDIT*: Shoot. sorry for the double post; didnt realize I wasnt logged in before.

Hello,

This focus seems to be "on" the tab instead of "in" the tab. You would need to click inside the session to avoid this. If you set the macro to be launch after a few seconds, you should have the time to put the focus in the session.

Best regards,
