Macro Recorder Window Not Working with v1.7.35

Erwan | Last updated: Jul 02, 2018 02:10PM UTC

In the latest 1.7.35 version, the macro (Project Options > Sessions > Macros) is not working properly. When creating, or editing (and clicking the Record Macro button) a macro, the macro recorder window does not show up and produce the following error in the terminal burp was started from: java.lang.ClassCastException: burp.ss cannot be cast to javax.swing.JFrame Full error at https://gist.github.com/erwanlr/9bbcf0a03473d19beaa3b867fded118c Working fine in 1.7.34 which I had to get back so far.

We've been able to reproduce this behaviour. We'll investigate further and get back to you when we have something to report. As a workaround, you can you this extension: - https://github.com/pajswigger/add-request-to-macro You'll need to create a macro first and then add the request using the context menu. Please let us know if you need any further assistance.

Just adding that I'm seeing the same behavior with 1.7.35 on Ubuntu 18.04.

This is still happening on various windows builds for me and impacting workflow significantly, please advise,

To use the extension: 1) Download "add-request-to-macro.jar":https://github.com/pajswigger/add-request-to-macro/blob/master/add-request-to-macro.jar 2) In Burp go to Extender > Extensions > Add 3) Click "Select File" and choose the jar you downloaded in step 1 We may create a BApp for this in future.

could you please place this extension in the bApp store, so those of us who are not experts can record macros? thanks. https://github.com/pajswigger/add-request-to-macro

Yup burpsuite_pro_1.7.33 = works burpsuite_pro_v1.7.35.jar = does not work :) That is why I keep all my burp versions: ====================================== @echo off echo listing latest burp suite jar files for %%a in (dir/s /OD burpsu*.jar) do ( set var1=%%a ) cd java cd bin echo starting latest burp suite start .\javaw.exe -Xms500m -Xmx500m -XX:MaxPermSize=500m -jar ..\..\%var1%

Hi Evan, Yes, we're working on a new release that will resolve this.

Macro Recorder Window not working on macOS High Sierra 10.13.6. However, add-request-to-macro.jar plugin is working perfect. Thanks.

I have the same version (v1.7.35) running on macOS High Sierra and no window appears showing the Proxy Intercept history to configure the macro. Can you confim if a new release will fix this bug?

Hi Evan, Thanks for reporting this bug. We thought you'd like to know that we just released Burp 1.7.36 which resolves this issue. Please let us know how you get on.
