Configure TruClient General Settings

The General Settings dialog box enables you to set options that affect the browser as you record and develop your scripts.

All settings you define in the TruClient General Settings dialog box are applied globally to all TruClient - Web scripts. You only need to configure these settings once. All subsequently created scripts automatically inherit these settings, even after you close VuGen.

The General Settings dialog box is opened by clicking the General Settings button in the TruClient Development window.

The following options are available, depending on script type:

 
Tab Description
Browser Settings

This tab enables you to configure settings for the TruClient browser for scripts that you run in interactive mode (the script development stage).

  • If you select Use Manual proxy server for your LAN and specify Do not use proxy server for addresses beginning with, see the rules on blocking addresses below.

  • The Check for newer versions of stored pages setting is not supported on Chromium browsers.

Rules for blocking addresses when using a proxy server

To block a... put this into "No Proxy for" ...for example, use Limitations
domain, including sub-domains domain suffix, starting with a dot ".mycom.org; mycom.org" You must use both entries to block a single domain.
hostname (with domain) domain suffix, starting with a dot "www.mycom.org" Also blocks any hostnames or domains that end in the same string (other-www.myco.org)
IP address IP address "1.2.3.4" Does not block hostnames that resolve to the IP address ("127.0.0.1" does not block "localhost")
Network network w/ CIDR block "10.0.0.0/8" Does not block hostnames that resolve to the IP address range (10.0.0.0/8 is not "no proxy for intranet hostnames")
