Google Chrome Recorder & Player Setup

Important!

Google Chrome no longer supports the required ClickOnce extension, and while other ClickOnce extensions are available, they are not compatible with the Panaya Recorder.

As a result, we recommend using Microsoft Edge when working with Panaya, as it does not require the ClickOnce extension.

If you are required to use Google Chrome, an alternative solution is to enable the local installation of the Panaya Recorder & Player by following the instructions below.

Please note that the local installation behaves differently from the online version. For example, it does not receive automatic updates, and a file containing the test data will be downloaded each time you click the Run & Document button.

Step 1 - Enable Local Installation Mode

Follow the steps in this article to enable Local Installation mode. This will configure the user for local installation in both Chrome and Edge browsers. If you don’t have access to these settings, please contact your Panaya Administrator or Project Manager for assistance.

Step 2 - Install the Test Player

Once the Local Installation mode is enabled, download and install the Test Player.

1. Go to Settings > Configuration

2. On the Testing section, select Installer for the Test Player

   

3. The PanayaTestPlayerSetup.msi installation file will be downloaded locally

4. Run the PanayaTestPlayerSetup.msi file and follow the installation wizard

5. Installation Error / No admin rights? Contact your IT Administrator for assistance
   

Step 3 - Install Panaya Recorder for Web Applications

From within Google Chrome, add the Panaya Recorder for Web Applications extension to Google Chrome and restart the browser. This extension will allow you to record web application such as Fiori.

Watch this video on how to install the Panaya Recorder for Web Applications, then follow the instructions below.

1. From within Google Chrome, add the Panaya Recorder Web Applications extension to Google Chrome

2. Click on the link to download and run the PanayaWebRecorderChromeInstallation.exe file. 

   

3. Restart Google Chrome

Step 4 - Verify the Test Player and the Panaya Recorder for Web Applications extension are installed correctly

1. In Google Chrome, click on   

2. Select Extensions and then Manage Extensions
