How to pass IPv6 address in Browsers.Item().Run()?

Here, I just the mentioned the routine which I am using. And of course, I have mentioned the browser type in my script :)

 

var natIP = "x:x:x:x:x:x:x:x";

natIP = "[" + natIP + "]"; // IPv6 address needs to be enclosed within []

var loginURLStr = "https://" + natIP + ":5480";
Browsers.Item(btIExplorer).Run(loginURLStr);

The above snippet works fine for an IPv4 address, but throws error message for an IPv6 address.

Hi,

 

This is just a guess, Can you try chr function instead of using [].

 

Ex:

natIP = chr(91) + natIP + chr(93); // IPv6 address needs to be enclosed within []

 

i'm not having web module to check this

    Tried as suggested, but still seeing the same error. Basically when it encounters a colon (:) in IPv6 address format, it throws the error. Tried to replace : with chr(58), but no luck.

        Hi vijayababuj,

         

        I've just checked this on my computer - I get the "The parameter is incorrect" error also. Actually, I'm not sure if TestComplete supports this. I suggest that you resend this question to our Support Team so that they could investigate it. You can reach out to them here: https://support.smartbear.com/message/?prod=TestComplete
