have a check on your selector e.g Attach Browser or Parent to have it dynamic e.g. like:
<html app='firefox.exe' title='Coronavirus Update (Live)*' />

the important part is the title and ensure no statitistics from the past is included.

Unfrotunately I cannot read / inspect your uplaoded files. But ping us in case of any issues

Hello @ppr,
Thank you for your reply.
Everything works fine until the website I used for scrapping is open, the moment I close the website and UiPath app it stops working. I am also enclosing all the screenshots for your reference. I also tried the suggested solution but it did not worked.

Thanks.

I had quick view on your download xaml
As mentioned you used a selector coding with too much specific information that will change over time
<html title='Coronavirus Update (Live): 2,482,158 Cases and 170,470 Deaths from COVID-19 Virus Pandemic - Worldometer' />

run my XAML from above and have look on the selector with * usage

Hello @ppr,

I tried before but I am getting the same error. I am getting the same error with every browser. The code works fine after creating and repairing, but the same code is not working after I restart the browser and app.

Best regards,

I tried Chrome, IE, Firefox and Edge. All are throwing same error. Working fine after building and repairing but fails the moment I restart the browser and UiPath.

IT Looks Like a selector issue. You give Browser Name specific information without Wildcard es title into the Tests.

Rerun my xaml in an Opened Page and Let US know If this was working?
