Sahi Pro v 4.3.2 - What's New?

Expand Collapse State in Logs Remembered

When moving from a script log to the script line and back, the state of expand or collapse of logs is remembered.

Controller State Remembered

The state of the Controller is remembered across sessions and even after a Sahi restart. This helps reduce a lot of time spent in setting and resetting the Controller parameters. The last URL entered in the Sahi initial screen is also saved.

New APIs Added

_closeBrowser()
_openBrowser()

_closeBrowser() and _openBrowser() are used to close the browser in the middle of a script and then reopen it later. This can be useful where an application does not allow relogin unless the browser is restarted.

_setXHRReadyStatesToWaitFor($waitStates)

Sahi waits for AJAX readyStates 1,2 and 3. Some applications may have an AJAX request open at state 1 for long periods of time. Sahi should be asked to ignore readyState 1. _setXHRReadyStatesToWaitFor("2,3") can be called in this case. $waitStates is just a string of comma separated readyStates ("1,2,3" or "2" or "2,3" etc.).

Store Reports into MySQL Database

Sahi's reports are stored in a file system based H2 database. For custom reporting it may be necessary to store it into a central MySQL database or another database. Sahi now supports storing reports into a MySQL database. More details Storing Reports in MySQL Database

Upgrade or Downgrade from inside Sahi Pro

To upgrade to a newer version, we have so far had to install Sahi Pro in a different folder and copy over the userdata directory. Now it is possible to directly upgrade from Sahi Pro itself. This will enable faster patch releases for critical bugs and easier maintenance of Sahi Pro.
