I have just started using Automise and am really liking what I'm seeing so far.
One of my regular tasks is to restore a web stack to a virtual machine and test that it is working, part of this test includes opening up a web browser and browse to the localhost to ensure the backup is correct.
I haven't come across any built-in process of Automise to do this, is this doable?
Hi Beuy,
Do you need to actually see the web site or just test to make sure that you can reach the site? If you don’t need to actually see the site then you can use the ‘HTTP Get File’ action to request a page from the server. It will fail if the server responds with an error. If you want to launch the site in a browser then just use the ‘Execute Program’ action with the ‘Program File’ set to the path to your browser, and the ‘Parameters’ field with the URL to navigate to.
Regards,
Paul.
Hi Paul,
I do need to test the content of what appears on the website, I’ll give opening it in a browser a go. If I could take a snapshot of the website and then e-mail that in the results that would work sufficiently enough.
