A few months back I built an automation that opens powerbi, refreshes the data, then publishes it. It has been working fine till this week. Now I am getting this error
“Cannot communicate with the browser embdedded in application ‘pbidesktop.exe’”
Nothing has changed on the PCs end, no updates have been done, the project just no longer runs past the first Use Application activity.
Try to reconfigure the Use Application activity or switch to the Attach Window activity. After that, clear the cache or reset settings in Power BI Desktop. Ensure both UiPath and Power BI Desktop are up to date.
If you using Chrom, check below link:
Happy automation
Try upgrading UiPath.System.Activities package to latest possible version.
Also you can try alternative option which is Start Process activity to open the PowerBI. Add delay after start process to give some time to PowerBI to start.
