Launches the mobile browser emulator with the given browser profile (specified by the VirtualBrowserInfoObj object) and, optionally, opens a URL in the emulator.

Declaration

VirtualBrowserInfoObj.Run(URL, PageLoadWaitTime)

VirtualBrowserInfoObj	An expression, variable or parameter that specifies a reference to a VirtualBrowserInfo object
URL	[in]	Optional	String	Default value: Empty string
PageLoadWaitTime	[in]	Optional	Integer	Default value: -1
Result	None

Applies To

The method is applied to the following object:

VirtualBrowserInfo

Parameters

The method has the following parameters:

URL

The URL of the web page to open in the mobile browser emulator. Add the protocol (for example, http:// or https://) at the beginning of the URL.

Tip:

You can copy the full URL from the address bar of the web browser in which the needed page is open.

If omitted, the mobile browser emulator will open a blank page (about:blank).

PageLoadWaitTime

The time, in milliseconds, to wait until the web page is loaded and ready to accept user input. The execution of the Run method finishes once the page is loaded completely or this timeout is reached.

If omitted or -1, the Run method uses the project’s Web page loading timeout.

Result Value

None.

Remarks

Google Chrome must not be running before the operation is run. If Chrome is running, the Run method opens a new tab in the running Chrome instance rather than starts the Chrome mobile emulator.

Before calling the Run method, you can check if Chrome is running and close it if it is. To learn how to do this, see Checking if Browser Is Running and Closing Browsers.
After the mobile browser emulator is launched, the Aliases.browser object points to the browser emulator and provides access to the web pages that are open in it.
The Run method logs an event message if it succeeded and an error message if it failed.
