Clipboard Activity throwing Aggregate Exception

Help
,
1

Hi everyone ,I am trying to copy data from application which is inside citrix env, uipath studio is not published inside citrix and is in local.

1.when i am copying data using hot key cntrl+a,cntrl+c and then pasting cntrl+v inside notepad which is also inside citrix it copies the data from the application to the notepad correctly.

But

2.When i am trying to use the same hotkeys but using either copy selected text activity or get from clipboard it is throwing Aggregate Exception and is unable to copy.

what i want is to copy the data from application which is inside the citrix and put the copied fields in either a variable or datatable,So that i can use the copied data to match with the excel which is in local desktop.

Was there resolution to this issue as I am experiencing it also. Screen scraping/OCR is not an option in my case.

good afternoon, I get that same message, is this a permission issue?

Did anyone found solution for this issue, Am also facing the same issue. Throwing Aggregate Exception while using the Copy Selected Text activity.

I found a solution using get from clipboard instead of copy selected text. So I first do ctrl+a, then ctrl+c and finally get from clipboard (I get a variable :slight_smile: )

yes this is what I did, hotkey ctrl+c and then get from clipboard

Hi @shajanjose & @Alexander,

Before doing ctrl+c , don’t forgot to clear the clipboard value.

Using set clipboard activity make the value as empty and the do ctrl+c and get the value using get clipboard activity.

I think, the AggregateException appears when the clipboard is currently empty, thus the GetFromClipboard activity fails.

Is it maybe a bug in UiPath? The docs for the activity do not name any Exception.

Work-arounds

  1. before accessing the Clipboard: copy just anything or call SetToClipboard with empty string
  2. harden the access to the clipboard by a try-catch.
