Version 1.20#

May 30, 2022

A new release of Sherpa Designer: version 1.20

Key changes and new features:

  1. Added the ability to record context menu selectors and other browser elements.
  2. When recording a selector, it is now possible to pause the recording of clicks. The recording of selectors occurs exclusively with the Left Ctrl key (left mouse button) and Right Ctrl key (right mouse button). The Alt key is used to switch modes during selector recording.
  3. The category blocks "Application Automation" have added the property "Autoscrolling," which allows disabling scrolling and focusing when working with the selector.
  4. In the "Get Text" block of the "Application Automation" category, the ability to obtain the States value of elements has been added. You can determine the checked values of radio buttons, checkboxes, and so on. This is relevant for Java, 1C, and other applications. For example, for an enabled checkbox element in the 1C program, you can obtain the following information: State=STATE_SYSTEM_FOCUSED, STATE_SYSTEM_CHECKED, STATE_SYSTEM_FOCUSABLE ToggleState=On
  5. The blocks in the "Databases" category can now work with PostgreSQL databases.
  6. The "Stop" block has added the ability to output to the log. The operation is similar to the "Log" block.
  7. Saving breakpoints and their subsequent restoration when loading the project.
  8. In the "SAP" category blocks, the wait time for elements has been added. Overall stability in the operation of the blocks has been improved.
  9. The operation of the "Load Data Table" block has been improved. Checking and removing unnecessary columns when loading Excel files.
  10. Other improvements and fixes.

The update can be installed over the current version. There is no need to remove the old one.
