Hi All,
I’m new to UiPath Studio and I’m using UiPath community stdio recently. I create a new process which using chrome to connect and download exchange rate table from 2 web site and save them to 2 worksheets in a excel file. The UiPath Studio automatically upgrade to 2021.10.4 and it worked fine last week. However,
I found it cannot download table from one of two web site now.
Hello @golden_huang
I guess there is issue with website or the way UiPath interact with it.
Can’t you just download the CSV file of table (Option is there on website) and use it for further processing ?
Hi AkshaySandhu,
Thanks for your reply. If I cannot find the reason why data scarping cannot work for this web page. I will take this way to get the rate data ( I’m just wonder what’s the reason of this issue and how to solve. If I meet the same issue in other web page someday, I know how to resolve it )
Hi Robinnavinraj_S,
Thanks for your reply. My process is very simple and the step is:
open bank web page
create a open browser activity
click Data Scraping icon in tools
click one item of table in 1. web page, then uipath show error
The data is not extract yet and not data can be write into excel. ( my plan is: step1: extract rate data from web page, step2: write rate data into excel, but the step1 fail, so step2 pending… )
actually I also tried that website you have provided above , data scrapping is not supported for that website then you can go with screen scraping method
Hi AkshaySandhu,
My did the same step as yours. But the error happen after I did step 3. The process does not modify since last week, so, I don’t know the reason. Do you have any idea the possible setting of column? Where and how to check it?
Hi AkshaySandhu,
Thank you for reply quickly. I’d try your manner as following:
create a sequence activity inside open browser activity
create a attach browser activity inside attach browser activity
create a extract structured data inside the attach browser
copy and paste the script you mention in ExtractMetaData field, but there is a compile error happen: Option strict On not allow imply transfer from System.Xml.Linq.XElement to string
Hi AkshaySandhu,
There is no other variable in this process ( I didn’t create other variable manually in this process ).
It looks like the cause of thie problem is still unknow.
So, I will take your advice before and click download .csv button instead of using Data scraping.
I hope I won’t meet this problem in other web page in the future ( I’m not sure whether it will offer a download .csv button ).
Thank you again for your kindly helping.
