Library Browser does Not Display Web Browser Classes

This functionality is supported only if you are using the Classic Agent.

Problem

The Library Browser does not display any of the classes for Web browsers.

This problem can be caused by either of two conditions:

  • The extensions for the Web browser you are testing have not been enabled.
  • Silk Test Classic was not able to successfully compile the files that populate the Library Browser with the browser classes.
  • Successful compilation incorporates the information in the Silk Test Classic browser include file, for example the extend\firefox.inc file. The browser include file pulls in the appropriate help file (.ht) to populate the Library Browser with the additional classes (extend\firefox.ht).

Solution

  1. Make sure that the browser extensions are enabled on the target and host computers.

    • On the target computer, from the Silk Test Classic program group, choose Extension Enabler. Check the Primary Extension for the browser to make sure it says Enabled.
    • On the host computer, from Silk Test Classic, choose Options > Extensions. Check the Primary Extension for the browser to make sure it says Enabled.
  2. Check the Silk Test Classic Runtime Options dialog box. In Silk Test Classic, click Options > Runtime. Make sure the Use Files field contains the browser include file, for example firefox.inc.
  3. Exit Silk Test Classic and restart it.
  4. This action causes Silk Test Classic to recompile the include files.
