Web Automation - when I add the Attach Browser activity and specify the browser, I receive an error "Value does not fall within the expected range"

When I am doing web automation, I’ve decided to first add the Attach Browser activity and then manually specify the browser. However, whenever I run the activities inside the browser, I receive an error saying “Value does not fall within the expected range” with Argument exception. As a result, I need to use a work around which is to record the web automation sequence by first using Web Recording. This way, the Attach Browser activity is automatically generated, and later I could manually add a…

Hi,

If your specifying the browser variable in attach browser then no need of navigate activity please remove and try.
If still doesn’t works then remove browser variable and copy the selector of main browser and pass in attach browser.

Summary Of the Solution (For Rookies Like Me):

For a Sequence Like the the one below:

When you do a ‘Indicate on Screen’, You have to highlight the content of a given Tab. Not the whole browser window. Here’s the difference you will see in the selector :

Whole Window Selected (http://www.sha1-online.com/ open In IE.) :
< wnd app=‘iexplore.exe’ cls=‘IEFrame’ title=‘SHA1 online - Internet Explorer’ />

Only the Content of the Specific Tab:
< html title=‘SHA1 online’ />

When you select the Whole Window , we get the error you mentioned :

This is my first post on the forum, pardon me if there are any mistakes. Kudos Every one Ui Path Rocks

@Nithin_P it’s already done through selectors.
Thanks again !!

Closing browser processes and keeping only one browser session makes a healthy browser selector like that:

Browser.BrowserView
{
Element=UiElement
{
ClippingRegion=null,
Selector=""
}
}

But if something is wrong, that would not allow Attach Browser to work correctly with the following syntax - as the Title changes as we login/navigate the screen:

Browser.BrowserView
{
Element=UiElement
{
ClippingRegion=null,
Selector=""
}
}

If somebody has a more stable workaround or fix - would be awesome!
