Summary

Truclient Chromium cannot show up side bar because of proxy PAC file

Question

When opening Truclient Chromium in Dev mode, Truclient Side Bar cannot be opened up and only Chromium Browser shows up

Answer

When opening Truclient Chromium in Dev mode, Truclient Side Bar needs to establish connection to http://127.0.0.1:port, if the proxy setting doesn't allow Truclient to communicate with http://127.0.0.1:port Truclient Side Bar cannot be opened up.

+ Try to change the proxy setting to use a specified IP or hostname instead of PAC file and make sure http://127.0.0.1:port is not going through proxy

+ If PAC file is stil needed, try to apply this hotfix (12.63 ONLY, extract the file inside and replace it to: LoadRunner\dat\TCChrome\Extension)

Use the updated "commandLineHandler.js" on VuGen
By doing this will force chrome not to use proxy while starting VuGen.


For develop mode:
Change "proxy" to PAC in general setting
(This action will restore proxy settings in chrome to use PAC and bypass local requests)

For load mode
Change "Proxy" to PAC in runtime setting
(This action will restore proxy settings in chrome to use PAC and bypass local requests)
