Title:
Activities not working on new page opened after click in Chrome (UiPath Web Automation)

Message:

Hello Team,

I am facing an issue while doing web automation using UiPath.

I am using Use Application/Browser activity with Chrome.
The initial web page opens successfully in the Chrome browser.

On this page, when I use a Click activity on a button/link, it opens a new page (or new tab) correctly.

Hi @Takse

Is the selector of new page different? Explore the selectors of both pages using ui explorer and observe the differences.

There may be the case that selector is different for new page.

Hi @Takse

When a click opens a new page or tab in Chrome, it remains attached to the old page. The correct approach is to reattach using a new Use Application/Browser or Attach Browser activity for the new page, ensure selectors are dynamic and removing using the idx and dynamic title and use attribute like partial url , aaname , tag, and use Add Check App State or Wait for Page Load before performing actions.

Cheers

Hi @Takse ,

try this,

When a click opens a new tab or page, UiPath stays attached to the old page, so activities don’t work on the new one. Re-attach to the newly opened tab using another Use Application/Browser or Attach Browser after the click, keep WaitForReady set to Complete, and avoid using Simulate Click for navigation actions.

After the click that opens the new tab, add another Use Application/Browser activity and indicate the newly opened tab so UiPath focuses on it.

Also, If the URL or title of the new page changes, remove those from the selector or use wildcards (*) so it reliably attaches.
