Decide the action reading text of Chrome popup

[Florent_Salendres]

Hello,

This is a classic javascript popup generated by the webpage. What makes it difficult to get the text in your case in that you are using Google Chrome browser which is not rendered the same way as it would be for IE and do not expose it text attribute (among other ones).

From my side, chrome plugin makes also the capture very slow and anoying.
If you have choice, i would recommend you using rather Internet explorer on your automation in general because of the reason bellow.

Which browser is most reliable

Hello, talking web automation it is recommended to use IE in most of the cases. I believe UiPath can interact with it in a more “native” way using its browser COM Object. The others Browser will most of the time have limitations and might struggle in case of version update.to find compatible plugins for your Browser version. Note also that in the corporate world, IE will be most of the time the way to go. Cheers. Cheers

This being said and if you still need/want to use chrome you could be achieving getting your text using the ‘Name’ attribute of the second Text element (first is the dialog title) UiElement.

Find here an example of a component which will attach to any Chrome popup and click the ok button (using a partial selector approach) and output the alert text as an argument. You could make it more specific adding the title of the window on the first selector.
