Symptoms

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

Diagnosis

PAC is is being used in proxy setting of Internet Options

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.

Solution

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 the hotfix in attachement (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)
