I need to create a wizard that opens a web app, logs on, clicks through some screens, and does a “Print, Save as .pdf”.

I’m starting the Wizard with a “Run Program” advanced command, Program=Firefox, Command line=the application’s URL
  <= This works  Firefox comes up, and I’m ready to log in.

PROBLEM: I click “Append Recording”…. and nothing’s recorded.
  <= ERROR: Nintex Wizard Editor: Some of the recorded steps do not appear...since they used applications and/or websites that have not yet been defined.

WEB PAGE:

NINTEX ADMIN:

I defined a new application (“OHM”), specified Application URL Contains “URL” and Window Caption Contains “OHM/Web Logon” and “Saved Changes”.
I then went into “Wizard Catalog > Test Library > General > Supported Applications” and enabled “OK”, ensuring the my company was a “Linked Company”

I’m successfully running other applications in the same library.

As you can see from the screenshot, the Firefox window doesn’t happen to have a “Caption”

Q: What do I need to do to get Nintex RPA 25.11 to successfully record the actions in my web app???

I checked Nintex RPA 24: I did NOT have to specify a “Caption” for the application - just “contains(localhost:)”.  It looks like this is “new” in v25.11.

As you can see in the screen share above, the Firefox browser doesn’t HAVE a caption in the window frame.  And setting the caption to the page title (“OHM/Web Logon”) doesn’t work.

Q: Any suggestions?

Thank you in advance!

@paulsm4 does it work with Chrome or Edge? Nintex RPA offiicially supports these two browsers.

Alternatively you could try by not setting the Window caption for the application and relying only on the Application URL. Window caption is not mandatory.
