make absolutely sure that you have the Applitools and Tosca Chrome extensions loaded.

Link to Tosca Chrome Store Extension

OR if you are using Tosca version 13 and below load the extension that comes with the Tosca installation manually

Tosca instructions to manually load extension

The Tosca Chrome extension is located in this directory

C:\Program Files (x86)\TRICENTIS\Tosca Testsuite\TBox\Resources\ChromeExtension

The integration dll is extremely sensitive to Chrome and Chrome extensions being loaded.

If you have extensions that cause Chrome on windows to fail to close completely then you will receive automation errors. Check Task Manager after Chrome is closed for any Chrome processes still open. This is a sign you have conflicting or error prone extensions in your user profile.

You may need to uninstall and reinstall Chrome and then use Chrome with NO USER PROFILE.
