Chrome 29 / IE 9.0 / FF24

Question

Hi all,Currently evaluating TC for our purposes. We have 9.31.3889.7, and Chrome 29 / IE 9.0.8112.16421Trying a very simple test - keyword test, runbrowser/chrome/ourtesturl fails to start Chrome.Similarly if I change the browser to IE, TC can start the browser, but fails to navigate to the URL - I even tried adding a separate "navigate" step - no joy.Running against Firefox 23.0.1 is no problem, but an upgrade to FF 24 did not work.I notice the latest supported build of Chrome for TC is 28...&nbsp;Can we expect a patch for these browser issues soon?

On the download page&nbsp;http://support.smartbear.com/downloads/testcomplete/chrome-patches/it says that 9.31 supports Chrome 29 out of the box.&nbsp;There is also the firefox 24 patch here:http://support.smartbear.com/downloads/testcomplete/firefox-patches/

Thanks Kim - the FF24 hook dll was certainly what was needed, and FF now seems functional again.However, problems persist in Chrome and IE - but I'm not necessarily convinced that it is purely a problem with TC....Trying to start Chrome with TC doesn't even start Chrome, let alone navigate to the specified page.Trying to start IE with TC starts IE, but doesn't navigate - the reason I don't think it's a TC fault is that I've rolled IE back to IE8 - and the problem persists... and I suspect SmartBear would have got TC working with IE8 by now ;-)&nbsp;BTW I'm sure Chrome was only listed as supported up to 28 on the Smartbear site earlier ;-)Any other pointers as to what might be the problem?

Ok, Chrome problem cause identified - reason for problem unknown.With no Chrome window present, I have about 6-7 Chrome.exe processes listed in Task Manager! Seemingly TC is trying to connect to one of these "rogue" processes, and as such, getting nowhere!If I kill these processes manually, and run my simple test - it's fine!Can anyone suggest why Chrome is creating so many processes, and then leaving most of them behind on exit?Also, still no closer with IE ...

I think i'm right in saying that Chrome creates a process for every extension or tab etc you have...&nbsp;You may have to run a script at the end of your test to ensure its processes are killed using Terminate()http://support.smartbear.com/viewarticle/30751/maybe something like:if(Sys.WaitBrowser().Exists) &nbsp; { &nbsp; Aliases.browser.Terminate(); &nbsp; } &nbsp;&nbsp;(asuming you're using name mapping/aliases).Also you may find the following useful if you've not already seen them. They are articles about preparing the different web browsers before testing.&nbsp;http://support.smartbear.com/viewarticle/26786/Hope this helps =)
