LoadRunner 11.52 records empty actions with Chrome

Question

I am trying to record with Chrome in LoadRunner for the first time (having to record a mobile app through an emulator that only works in Chrome), but when recording with Web (HTTP/HTML) protocol in Chrome I only get empty actions, no events are recorded (tried with several "standard" web pages).

LoadRunner opens Chrome fine, I click a few links and then stop recording, but script actions remain empty. Using HTML-style recoring.

Setup: Windows 7 64 bit SP1 Loadrunner VuGen v11.52 Chrome v27.0

I have colleagues that manage to record fine with similar (if not exact same) setup. Has anyone faced the same issue?

You must close all Chrome windows before starting recording and use only the window that VuGen opens to record. Also make sure no chrome processes running before recording.

Wow, it was that simple. I thought I had tried that, but obviously not. Thanks! – eleccy May 28 '13 at 07:09

Why not record the actual device with vugen instead of an emulator?

Keep in mind you are trying to use a 32 bit application to record a 64 bit application. I would even go so far as to recommend that you look at using the proxy model recording as an HTTP proxy for the "old recording engine."

Hmm yeah I'll have a closer look on those options, thanks :-) – eleccy May 27 '13 at 18:51
