@omar_ismail,

The error message “Attaching to Chromium API protocol failed” typically occurs when UiPath Studio tries to interact with a Chrome browser extension (such as UiPath Web Automation or UiPath Extension for Chrome) but encounters an issue in the process. Here’s what you can do to troubleshoot and resolve this issue:

  1. Check Chrome Extension Installation: Ensure that the UiPath extension for Chrome is installed and enabled. You can do this by opening Chrome, navigating to the Extensions page (chrome://extensions/), and verifying that the UiPath extension is listed and enabled.
  2. Restart Chrome and UiPath Studio: Sometimes, simply restarting both Chrome and UiPath Studio can resolve this issue. Close all instances of Chrome and UiPath Studio, then reopen them and try running the workflow again.
  3. Check Extension Version Compatibility: Ensure that the version of the UiPath extension installed in Chrome is compatible with the version of UiPath Studio you are using. If not, update either the extension or UiPath Studio to ensure compatibility.
  4. Reinstall UiPath Extension: If the extension is installed but not functioning properly, try reinstalling it. Remove the extension from Chrome, restart Chrome, and reinstall the UiPath extension from the UiPath Studio Extensions menu.
  5. Verify Chrome Path: In UiPath Studio, navigate to the “Tools” tab and click on “Options.” Under the “Web” section, make sure that the Chrome executable path is correctly set. If not, provide the correct path to the Chrome executable.
  6. Check Security Software: Sometimes, security software or firewall settings can interfere with UiPath’s ability to communicate with Chrome. Temporarily disable any security software or firewall settings that may be blocking UiPath’s communication with Chrome, and then try running the workflow again.
  7. Update UiPath Studio: Ensure that you are using the latest version of UiPath Studio. If not, consider updating to the latest version to take advantage of bug fixes and improvements that may resolve this issue.
