When I manually punch the URL of the application in the browser, application is getting opened up without any problem.

But when I am trying to capture/Record script using LR 11.5, browser is getting invoked by LR but, application is not getting opened up in the browser.

I am getting - "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" message in the browser.

Below are the other details:

OS:  Window 2008 R2 Server
Browser : IE 8
Vugen Version:  11.5
Protocol :  Web(HTTP/HTML)
Application:  Web application is developed using Web2.0 technologies like Javascript, JQuery, Ajax...etc.

could anyone shed some light on it...?

Please help...!

Windows 2008 R2 is a 64 Bit operating system. VUGEN is a 32 bit application. Please see release notes regarding the recording of applications in a 64 bit environment.

  • James, Will this really impact the web applications? or is it only for client-server applications? – srini Feb 04 '13 at 15:18
  • Read the release notes. Yes, it specifically mentions recording in a 64 bit environment. There are technical issues at play here related to a 32 bit application (VUGEN) hooking a 64 bit application, be it a browser or thick client. A 32 bit virtual machine works just fine for recording. Don't use it for execution, but for recording and script development it works just fine. – James Pulley Feb 04 '13 at 15:41
  • James, In my case its a browser based web application and LoadRunner is failing to open the application in the browser(Browser is getting successfully invoked by VuGen) for recording. – srini Feb 04 '13 at 15:51
  • Try it on a 32 bit environment – James Pulley Feb 04 '13 at 16:16

As per Release notes: *Recording of 64bit applications has been added to the existing support for 64bit operating systems. 64bit applications can usually be recognized when the ‘32’ suffix is not displayed in the Windows Task Manager for their process. Replay is in 32bit.

I just tried recording a web app using vugen*32 and I was able to record using both IE and IE 64bit. I am on Windows 2008 R2 Standard SP1 64 bit OS.

Please see if using a supported version of FF you are able to record.
