Hi,
I’m trying to extract a Table from a web page using the Data Scraping wizard. Everything works fine for the first page, but it does not click the arrow for the next page.
If I copy the selector from the NextLinkSelector property and use it in a Click activity, it clicks the button. Why does it not work in the Extract Structured Data activity?
Thanks in advance!
Hello there,
Do you have any sample url or could you please attach workflow?
Workflow file is here. I can’t provide a sample URL because it is an internal site and you need a login.
Main.xaml (7.2 KB)
Can’t say much without URL 
,However i see MaxNumberOfResult set to 0
Is that intentional ? keep 100 and try.
MaxNumberOfResult is set to 0 because there might be more than 100 (the default) rows. 0 should take everything.
I just don’t understand why the selector for the Next button works in a Click Activity, but not in the NextLinkSelector…
Just for the curiosity did you scrape each column one by on or did it prompt to scrape entire table at once?
It prompted to scrape the entire table. I clicked yes and then indicated the Next arrow because the data spans multiple pages.
i see 
can you please click no and start in conventional way choosing one by one column if possible and then finally next page button.
I tried, but still not successful…
ok one last thing and then will add QA team.
Please use UiExplorer and get the full selector of next button and then pass to NextLinkSelector.
The only thing I can find is that the Next button itself is ‘part’ of the table, both have the same parent ID (EgoItemAssignedOrgTable). And according to the documentation, the NextLinkSelector should be relative to ExistingUiElement. Could this be an issue?
The selector that identifies the link/button used to navigate to the next page. Should be relative to the ExistingUiElement property.
I already tried a full selector, but does not solve the issue…
Thanks for the help so far!
Hello.
I have the same problem.
At work, I use a web application dedicated to Internet Explorer. I am trying to download the table but
Data Scraping does not click next page button.
The problem is on Internet Explorer.
In Chrom works properly with the same selector.
I have a problem because I have to do it in Internet Explorer. In Chrome, the app does not work correctly.
Thanks for the help so far!
Thanks for your input in this case; I am facing the same issue, Did you found any solution for IE compatibility issue other than using chrome?
Did we get a solution for this issue ? I am stuck with similar problem.
Have you tried with the latest version 2019.3.0 and the activity packs updated to the latest version? The next page selector is accessible now so that you can tune it 
Thanks for your reply. Will try to upgrade the version to see if the issue is fixed
Hello,
I am working with the link instead of button for navigating to the next page. But the issue that I am facing is that even after the last page arrives link is not disabled,I tried to work with it but it is clicking on the next link even after it has reached the last page and is going into an infinite loop.
I visited almost all the forums to find the solution but could not find one.
Can you please suggest any way by which I can get through this issue.
Thank You in advance!

Hi @Arnab_Sinha
Welcome to our UiPath Forum!
It is very possible that there is a property of the link in UiExplorer that shows if the link is active or not. You could then include that property with an active state in your selector to be able to stop when the property state changes to inactive.
It would help if you could post a screenshot of the element as seen in UiExplorer.
