How to select the child item from web menu item which is not loaded by hovering thru?
I also gone thru the below link, I can understand if the menu and the child elements loads while hovering we can select the items using UI explorer. In my case the menu loads when you click the item any suggestions to get the child item?
Item I refer here is menu item, for eg In my case in my webpage I have menus like “Menu1”, “Menu2”. When you click(not hover) “Menu1” it will show the child menus. For Eg “ChildM1”,“ChildM2”. I want select “ChildM1”.
Using web recording it can select and click the item “Menu1” and it can not identify the child menus. I tried with UI explorer as well and it shows only properties of “Menu1”. I can not see any child items.
Please note, when I compare this behavior in IE and Firefox. In IE the menu shows the child menu for click action where in mozilla firefox the menu shows the child menu by hovering thru. The application is forced to run in compatibility mode in IE.
Finally switched to Firefox to make it work. In IE the child menu is not able to access from uipath. What I found is, in IE the child menu is loaded behind the Java frame hence it’s not able to capture the elements.
I ran into same kind of issue you lodged into. I have followed the step you mentioned and I even tried to capture the selector from Mozilla firefox too, but I am getting the below error. So any suggestions or help on this would be much appreciated.
What type of web application? did you check the elements using the developer tools? If its java applet application you can check the recommended JRE is used.
Hello @vvaidya, I tried as you have mentioned… on Step #4, when I press F2 key on Menu1 the child menu pop up comes up and then if I do mouse click on the Child menu item (within 3 seconds), it’s going to childmenu page directly, without capturing the Click event in Click activity. Am I doing something wrong?
