A recorded_traffic folder will be created in the SOAtest server workspace next to the .tst file and a traffic file will be uploaded to the folder. You can use the recorded traffic file to create new tests using the smart test traffic wizard (see Creating Smart API Tests from Traffic), as well as to train the Smart Test Generator (see Training the Smart API Test Generator).

Troubleshooting

Chrome does not allow the extension to change proxy settings

If you are using Windows and get an error stating "Chrome does not allow the extension to change proxy settings" when attempting to record API traffic with Chrome, you can fix the issue by disabling the group policy "Choose how to specify proxy server settings" under Administrative Templates > Google > Google Chrome > Proxy server. When the policy is enabled, it blocks the Chrome extension from changing the proxy. This issue does not affect Linux or Mac users.

To change the group policy:

1. Open a command prompt with administrator privileges and run rsop. The Resultant Set of Policy window opens.
2. In the Resultant Set of Policy, check Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Google > Google Chrome > Proxy Server to see if the policy "Choose how to specify proxy server settings" is enabled. If so, a Windows domain administrator within your organization will need to disable it.
3. Once the policy has been changed, open a command prompt again and run gpupdate /force.
4. Run rsop again to confirm the policy has been disabled.

If that doesn't work, you can try to manually disable the policy in the registry:

1. Open a command prompt and run regedit. The registry editor opens.
2. Locate the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE or HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > Policies > Google > Chrome folder.
3. Delete the ProxyMode key and reboot your machine.
4. Check the registry to make sure the key was not regenerated.
