2k views Asked by At

In Loadrunner Truclient protocol while recording the web application Google Chrome/Firefox instances is opening in incognito mode but the issue is my application will not work incognito mode.

My application is working fine in only normal mode of Google Chrome/Firefox instances.

Could anyone please let me know during recording with truclient how to change the Chrome/Firefox instances from incognito mode to normal mode.

You already posted this question on the official product forum (https://community.softwaregrp.com/t5/LoadRunner-Practitioners-Forum/Urgent-Truclient-chrome-instance-is-opening-in-Incognito-mode/m-p/1624503) and got a response by the lead developer of the TruClient protocol.

His answer is:

TruClient runs the browser in Incognito/Privacy mode to allow separation of 
Vusers during a load test.

This cannot be disabled or changed.

Perhaps you can elaborate on why your application is not working in these 
modes, so we can try to find a workaround.

and then

Some browser features behave differently in privacy mode.

For example, IndexedDB cache mechanism is not implemented in Firefox 
private mode [See the bug in Mozilla]

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=781982

From the error you mentioned, it seems this is related a similar browser issue. 

As mentioned before, it is not possible to run TruClient in non-private mode.

Workaround: Run one full GUI Virtual User in a singular operating system instance. run one of these per business process on dedicated OS instances. Run the remainder of your load using API level (HTTP) virtual users.
