opening a browser in script extension

Browsers.Item(btIExplorer).Run("http://smartbear.com/");    The above would be what I use in my project. How would one do the equivalent in a script extension? Thanks

The Browsers object is not accessible within an extension so you can't do exactly the same thing.

What you will have to do is write code to use the WshShell object and the Run method to run the desired browser executable.

      vthomeschoolmom, please share with us the code you'll create with the WScript.Shell object.

        I am not including all the logic I am going to use to randomize which browser.... but just to load the browser window and navigate to the page

         

            WshShell.Run("powershell - file C:\\VSI Script Extensions\\RecTrac\\edge.bat");
	Sys.Browser(ProjectSuite.Variables.BrowserUnderTest).ToUrl(Project.Variables.Url);
