Error encountered while detecting and interacting with UI element in UiPath Studio

[Siva_Koneti]

UiPath Studio is able to detect UI element, but stops running and giving an error while attempting to perform a click action on the UI element. Here is the [screenshot] of UI element trying to perform action (https://mrkr.io/s/64abb990f515fa15e7bed668/0)

Could you please assist me in resolving this error? Thank you!

Welcome to the community

I believe the number beside pending might be changing from 3 to other numbers in the selector use * in place of the numbers in the selector and check

Cheers

Hi @Siva_Koneti

Use strict selector and within use wildcards(*) in the “aaname” attribute to eliminate the error.

Thank you, @supriya117 and @Anil_G, for your assistance. It worked!

In this UI example, I would like to configure UiPath to click on the ‘Write review’ button repeatedly until there are no more cards remaining. Could you please provide guidance on how to achieve this?

Hi @Siva_Koneti

Use check app state activity to check whether there is “Write review” present or not.
In the anchor of check app state activity, use strict selector for better selection.
Please share the anchor selector.

@supriya117 Check app status has worked.
@lrtetala I have tried Do while but stuck at condition text box because it was not detecting the UI element

@supriya117 @lrtetala what is the best way to detect this UI element, I want to click on 5th star to give 5 star rating, currently getting below error "2023-07-11 9:38:34.186 GMT+5:30: Error: UiPath.UIAutomationNext.Exceptions.NodeAmbiguousException: Multiple similar matches found.

Could not uniquely identify the user-interface element for this action.
Edit the element, run Validation, and add anchors in order to ensure the element is uniquely identified.

@Siva_Koneti

Give the anchor to given any text and try using strict selector for star and check all the attributes in the Ui Explorer like idx.

[Siva_Koneti]

Thanks @supriya117 strict selector has worked
