Hi All,

Having issues with search searching in the new version of UiPath 19.10

When I look for the words “APPLICATION FAIL” in my project, nothing is found
However if I just type in “APPLICATION F” then I get a result.

The same holds true when I am looking for the wording in a selector.

This is pretty major for me as I am still trying to figure out a way to debug failures/errors as I’m stuck with an issue in UiPath whereby if you don’t put your code inside a workflow inside main even if it’s in a try/catch then any Exception source will simply return the following : Exception source : UiPath.UiAutomation.Activities

Anyway I’m experiencing the following : -

Hi Ashwin,

Thanks for the reply but I don’t think removing the spaces is the best approach.

Here is another example where I wouldn’t be able to remove the spaces.

Thanks again for the quick reply and the alternative way possibly getting around the problem.

Do we think there is a bug in the search facility or am I doing something wrong?
This type of search worked perfectly with the version 18.4.2 as I used it all the time.

Roy.

Is this fixed in the mentioned version ?

Correct, it was fixed in the 19.12.

Another solution if the uipath integrated search doesn’t work properly may be:

  1. Open the CMD (Open the Windows-start-menue, Type “cmd”, hit enter)
  2. Type: pushd DirectoryPathOfTheProject
  3. Hit enter
  4. Type (case sensitive): findstr /s “ReplaceByYourSearchString” *.xaml
  5. Hit enter
  6. Now you will have a list of results (incl. path where the match was found and so on) if your search-string is in the project-folder.
  7. When you’ve finished type: popd

Works for .json-format too, for that you have to chance *xaml to *json in step 3
