Edge browser extension not working: Cannot communicate with browser, please check the UiPath extension

StudioX Version: 2020.10.2
Edge Version: Version 98.0.1108.62

Hi,

I’m having issues getting the Edge browser extension to work, despite it being installed correctly. When I run my automation, I get the following error (Logs will be at the end of post):

Cannot communicate with browser, please check the UiPath extension

I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling the extension with no luck. I’m required to use Edge by my company, so I can’t try IE, Chrome, etc.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try below steps

  1. Uninstall Edge Browser Extension.

  2. Restart UiPath Studio.

  3. Install Edge Browser Extension.

  4. Check Whether Edge Browser Extension is added to your Browser -
    Extension.

Thanks, Karuna, but that did not work. I’m still getting the same error.

Refer this

Also check whether the edge browser extension is “Enabled” or not in the browser extension section ie here

This has been resolved. My company security system was blocking the usage of the extension, so we had to utilize an internal workaround to allow the extension to work.
