I would like to use Click activity on Google Chrome browser. I have installed the Chrome plugin. The click activity is to click the pop out message appear at the top part of the browser like this
When I select the Indicate on screen option in the Click activity, I am unable to select the Ok button. Instead, the Unipath is highlighting the whole section of the Chrome browser.
I have tried to closed the workflow and browser and restart them still highlighting the whole browser for the Click activity. Anything that I have missed?
Do I need to use an If activity after the ImageExist activity?
Just to confirm whether the ImageExists activity need to draw a square box around the pop out message in order to capture the image? However, the Click activity still highlighted the whole Chrome browser like before.
ImageExist activity â create a out variable as âisAlertExistsâ
If isAlertExists
Click OK
else
Empty
Yes - For ImageExists activity - you have to select/mark the image alert box. (red)
For ImageClick activity - you have to select/mark the ok image. (yellow)
I wouldnât call it unstable, but remember nothingâs perfect. Weâre always bound to get bugs and other issues when we develop something.
Although, sometimes I do prefer working with IE on some automation projects that requires browser interaction. However, pop-up recognition issues are some of the most common obstacles developers tend to face when making automations regardless of the browser.
This is actually my go to workaround whenever applicable (i.e. pressing enter can actually âselectâ the ok button and close the pop up) if Iâm having selector issues with pop ups. Since send hot key activities doesnât need to rely on selectors.
You can also try waiting for a few seconds, since detecting and separating UI elements can sometimes take a while. Meaning, try hovering your mouse cursor over the pop-up âOkâ button for a few seconds while indicating the element and see if that will work.
You can also try and indicate the element using UiExplorer and see if that will work.
And yes, of course weâll try to help you out with your automation issues.
