Script and file management

The way scripts and files are saved, exported, imported, and opened varies between the TruClient editions.

Manage scripts in TruClient in VuGen

You manage TruClient scripts in VuGen from the File menu. For more information, see the VuGen Help Center.

Manage scripts in TruClient Lite

Script saving and sharing require several steps because of browser security. The steps are preparing, downloading and importing. These steps work as follows:

Scripts are saved and loaded from the browser local storage. To use a script outside the browser context, the files must be prepared by being archived in a zip file ready for download.
Scripts are then downloaded from browser storage to the browser's download target folder. You can configure the download target location from the browser settings.
Importing a script copies a zip file into the browser local storage. After importing the files, a script can be opened and used in the browser context.

Operations on the current script are performed from the File and Save menus. Operations on any script are performed from the Scripts Management dialog box.

Action	How to
Create a new script	From the File menu, click New to open a new script.
Edit a script	From the File menu, click Open and Manage Scripts, and select the script you want to edit from the Scripts Management dialog box. For details, see Script Management dialog box.
Save a script	From the Save menu, click Save or Save as to save the open script at its current location, or with a new name.
Export a script	From the Save menu, select Export > Export to Zip (All files) to export all the script files, or Export > Export to Zip (Runtime only) if you only want to zip the files required to run the script. Note: The script must be saved before a zip file can be exported.
Upload script to StormRunner Load	From the Save menu, select Upload to StormRunner Load. In the Sign in and Upload dialog box, choose whether to upload all files or just runtime files (the files required to run the script). Enter you StormRunner Load user name, password, tenant ID, and project ID. Click Sign In and Upload.

The Scripts Management Dialog

The scripts management dialog box enables actions on scripts whether or not they are open. The actions you can perform are:

Action	How to
Open a script	From the File menu, click Open and Manage Scripts. Click the link in the Name column to open the script.
Export a script	From the File menu, click Open and Manage Scripts. Select the row of the script you want to export, and click either All Files or Runtime Files if you only want the files required to run the script. Click Download to copy the zipped files to the browser's download folder.
Import a script	Imports a zipped script from the file system to browser storage so the script can be opened in TruClient Lite: From the File menu, click Open and Manage Scripts. Select the row of the script you want to edit, and click Import.
Attach a certificate	Attaches a client certificate to the selected scripts. If you attach the required certificates to a script, you do not need to install the certificates on computers running the script in LoadRunner or StormRunner Load. For details about certificates when developing a script, see Certificates in TruClient Lite. From the File menu, click Open and Manage Scripts. Select the row of the script you want to edit, and click Attach Certificate.
Generate a certificate	Use this tool to generate a client side certificate file (CC.pfx) from the system certificate store, which is used by TruClient during Load Mode Replay. Install the client side certificate to Windows Certificate Store. From the File menu, click Open and Manage Scripts. Click the Download TruClient Client Certificate Generator tool icon to open the AppDelivery Marketplace. Select TruClient Client Certificate Generator 1.1 and click Download. Enter the destination file name of the output certificate. If no destination is specified, the certificate will be output to the current directory. For more details on using the tool, run the command: `ClientCertGen.exe ?`
Delete a script	Deletes a script from browser storage. Use the operating system to delete files in the browser download folder or elsewhere on the file system. From the File menu, click Open and Manage Scripts. Select the row of the script you want to delete, and click the Delete icon .

Certificates in TruClient Lite

To record or replay a script that uses a client-side certificate in TruClient Lite, the certificate must be installed on the system certificate repository.

When TruClient Lite for Chrome uses the certificate you installed in the system certificate repository, a dialog box asks the user to select a certificate, even if there is only one usable certificate. This happens in both Record and Replay. This modal dialog blocks script Replay. After the user selects the correct certificate, the Replay continues.

To avoid display of the certificate display dialog box, after installing the certificate add a key using regedit. To HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome\AutoSelectCertificateForUrls, add a string value key named "1", with value “{"pattern":"*","filter":{}}”

The key need only be added on the computer running TruClient Lite. During load testing in LoadRunner or StormRunner Load, the certificate selection dialog box is not displayed.
