We recently ran into an issue when our Chrome updated to the latest release (65.x) and it no longer worked with App Studio but we were able to identify a solution and wanted to share it with everyone. If you go to https://www.seleniumhq.org/download/ and download the latest "Google Chrome Driver" and then go to your App Studio bin directory (for me it was c:\ibi\AppStudio82\bin), backup the existing chromedriver.exe and then put the new version there it will start working again. Hope this was helpful to others who may have run into this issue.

Good call! I had to scroll down on that page quite a bit to get to the browser specific drivers - the top item (a JAR-file) seems not relevant.

Is there a trick to pass on credentials? We use IWA autentication, but Chrome asks for my credentials each time I run a fex from App Studio. It does not do that when running procedures on our portal the normal way, only when started from AS.

I'd much prefer to use Chrome for testing instead of that horrendous Internet Explorer. Firefox is apparently a no-op with our App Studio (8105m GEN 05172017).

And... Is there a similar trick that works for recent Firefox? Unfortunately, the configuration panel does not let us specify a driver location for the geckodriver.exe from the same location.

EDIT: It looks like there could be some options in the WebDriver.xml file. Interesting...

Not sure as both Chrome and Firefox work for me. We are on 8201m (gen 05042017) so not sure if the version may likely have fixed some issues because we were previously on 8008 and Chrome/Firefox did not work for me at that time. If there is a way to do some kind of remote session I can take a look to see if I can offer any guidance

Two points:

1) Has Chrome been certified to work with WebFOCUS or App Studio yet?

2) Check out TESTFOCI.bat.
