🚨New Features

Close browser block for Salesforce Fusion flows

Leapwork Studio now includes a dedicated Close browser block for Salesforce Fusion flows. This makes it easier to clean up test environments and avoid leaving unwanted browser sessions open.

Key details:

• Lets you close any browser window started by Leapwork Fusion within the flow.

• Works with sessions started from Salesforce, D365, or Generic Web.

• The block can be renamed, and the Fail connector can be used to handle exceptions.

• Run logs show clear messages for every browser close action

Leapwork support for IBM PCOM 5250 green screen automation

Leapwork now provides full support for the 64 bit IBM PCOM 5250 emulator. This enables end to end automation of IBM i (AS/400) green screen flows on Windows 10 and 11.

Key details:

• Automates complete terminal sessions including launch, navigation, reading and writing fields, function keys, and logoff.

• Allows critical IBM i processes to be included in your test automation strategy in a stable and repeatable way.

• Automatically detects emulator architecture (x86/x64).

• Resolves DLL conflicts for more stable runs.

• Supports seamless switching between compatible emulators.

• Validates all core Green Screen blocks and Recorder features for PCOM 5250.

🛠️ Feature Enhancements

Fusion recorder for D365 F&O: Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) support

Login automation in D365 F&O is now more flexible and robust, even when MFA or unexpected steps appear. You can switch between automated and manual login, capture every step of the access flow, and connect TOTP block based MFA directly from the Login block.

Key details:

• New Login method attribute in the Login block and popup with two options:

  • Automated uses preconfigured credentials.

  • Manual records login steps live with Fusion recorder.

• Supports capturing any element in the login flow, including additional authentication and MFA.

• Allows manual recording of the login if automatic login fails, including Validate and Get actions.

• Adds a new OTP result code attribute in the Login block for easy integration with TOTP blocks and automated MFA.

Elegance design enhancements in Run List section

Leapwork Studio introduces a redesigned experience for Run Lists, making it easier to organize, customize, and execute your automated flows. The new interface brings enhanced usability, improved search, and more intuitive controls for managing complex test scenarios.

Key details:

• The UI for frozen run lists now clearly displays relevant information (date, user who froze it), disables non-permitted actions, and maintains a consistent visual experience.

• Highlighting a run list no longer leaves unwanted white space, resulting in a cleaner and more polished look.

• You can now search for flow and step names within a run list, with clear visual indicators for found results.

• The retry policy modal has been redesigned.

• The top menu and tabs in run lists have been updated to match the new design, including new icons and quick-access buttons for key actions.

• Steps now feature a new design, and you can add a step directly from the green button in the top bar for easier configuration.

• Flows or steps can be temporarily hidden from a run list without deleting them, using a new eye icon to toggle visibility.

Start Web Browser block improvements

Leapwork Studio now includes several improvements to the Start Web Browser block, making cross device web testing and network behavior more predictable and easier to manage.

Key details:

• The Device type list is now curated and browser accurate, showing only devices currently recognized by Chrome and Edge across Android, iPhone, and tablet, grouped by browser and device category.
• Proxy command line flags passed in the Start options field are handled more reliably, applied consistently to Chrome and Edge for that flow, and take priority over global or system level proxy configuration.

Auto-apply formatting in Write Excel block

The Write Excel block now includes an Auto-apply formatting option. This lets you control whether Excel automatically applies number and date formats when writing data, without having to define data types per cell.

Key details:

• A new Auto-apply formatting checkbox controls how values are written to Excel.

• When the checkbox is selected, the block automatically detects data types such as numbers, decimals, integers, dates, and text, and applies the corresponding Excel formatting when writing the file.

• When the checkbox is cleared, all values are written as text, with no automatic conversion or formatting.

• This reduces broken formulas and inconsistent formatting while keeping control over how Excel files are generated from your flows.

RSAT migration improvements

Leapwork Studio now makes it much easier to migrate chained or inherited test cases from RSAT. When you use the RSAT migration tool, variables passed between test cases are automatically converted into Leapwork’s Set variable and Get variable blocks, or as tokens within blocks, without manual mapping.

Key details:

• Seamlessly migrates complex RSAT test flows that rely on variable passing between cases.
• Automatically detects variables and maps them to Leapwork’s variable handling blocks so your automation logic stays intact.
• Reduces manual effort and the risk of errors during migration, letting you focus on testing instead of rework.
