Download hyperlink selector is constant but failing while running

[kkpatel (Kamal)]

Hi All

Below is the selector of a “Download file” hyperlink in a pop up window. It always highlights properly but selector fails while running the bot.

Could not find the UI element corresponding to this selector:

What could be the issue?

Hi @kkpatel

Take a screenshot of UI Explorer for the specific UI element, then we are able to find out the issue.

@mkankatala please check the screen and the selector

[mkankatala (Mahesh Kankatala)]

Okay got it @kkpatel

First use the Use application/browser activity and indicate the about blank:google screen. Inside of this Use application/browser activity insert the Click activity and indicate the Download file element.

Then it will work.

Hope it helps!!

@mkankatala this is already done. but the click activity is not working

[mkankatala (Mahesh Kankatala)]

Instead of using the Modern Click activity try with Classic activity… @kkpatel

Let me know if it works.

@kkpatel

Try keeping an anchor and use strict selectors and check!

Try this!

@kkpatel

from the options menu…under ui framework select ui automation and then try to indicate

also as it is a different pop up you would need to place the click activity in a separate use app/browser activity

cheers

It is resolved. Than you All…

I tried with Recorder. and it used Use Browser where we had to pass Chrome.exe and inside that just use the Click activity.

[mkankatala (Mahesh Kankatala)]

I have suggested the same in the above post… @kkpatel

This new window is not the child window of parent browser, in this case we have to use one more Use application\browser activity for this specific window. Inside of it use UI activities to do operations in that window.

Hi All

The issue still persists.

Its working in my dev machine but its not able to click in the Download Link when I moved the code to other machines (QA).

What would be the solution?

Hi Forum

Need your assistance on this issue. Its simple clicking on a hyperlink but not sure what is the issue.

Attaching the screenshot.

[mkankatala (Mahesh Kankatala)]

Use the Classic Click activity instead of using Modern click activity. Check once weather it’s working or not… @kkpatel

Hope you understand!!

[kkpatel (Kamal)]
