Click Generic Error on Click Activity

Help Studio
1

Hi! So here’s my problem, my click activities in my current project, never had this kind of error when clicking buttons. Upon checking the internet, most of the reply/reasons is because something about simulate click and sendwindow message. Here’s what my click activity’s property looks like:

Click Generic
Click Generic299×557 64.1 KB

I am not sure if it’s ok to leave the SendWindowsMessages to “False” and if it’s the reasons why it gives this error. BTW, my click activities are all in Simulate Click and the Wait for Ready is set to “Complete”. I hope you can help me with this. Thank you.

Hi!

Set Wait for ready to -NONE.

Uncheck the simulate and keep AlterIfDisabled to True.

Isn’t 30 secs is the default timeout for all? Do I have to hardcode it to “30000”?

H @Archie

Is due the issue that element not fully loaded for the click try using on element appear and try using the click activity or we can try with retry scope with set continue on Error property to true!

Can you share the screenshot of the activity @Archie

Are you using inside Attach browser Activity

I guess this could be the reason. Some of my click activities actually encountered the same problem, I have a retry scope on it and after retrying. It somehow worked.

For one error, yes I do. But I also have the same error on my Logout Process where I don’t use an attach browser. BTW, I don’t use indicate element on all of my Attach Window. I pass around a Browser Variable as the input, which came from the Open Brower Activity for logging in. I don’t know if this could also be the factor?

HI @Archie

These are the solutions may solve your query

  • Keep a separate try catch block and see whether the subsequent element exists and then retry.
  • Have a stable selector and use Click image activity if all the environment resolutions is the same.

Thanks. I’ll try the retry part, I already have a try-catch for them. I guess I need to put a retry scope for all of them.
