Hello experts !
I have a scenario where I am using very old web app based on java.
I need to do data entry on that site and have to get Batch ID.
But get Text activity is not able to extract text from that web app therefore I am using CV scope to get text from that web app.

But the problem is critical, sometime CV scope is throwing error as CV Screen Scope ‘panel’: The specified Computer Vision server could not be reached. [523]

I have 2 question on it :

  1. Why normal get text is not able to extract text from that web app.
  2. I need to depend on CV get text which is not reliable as it is throwing error. What should I do now ?

@prabin_chand1

You have other options also…

You can use get visible text activity…

Or

You can try with get attribute…and if its java based then it might store the value in the value attribute or text attribute and not innertext…

Please try these as these are more reliable

Cheers

Hi @prabin_chand1

Have you tried installing the Java extension… and indicate the element again using get text activity…

Hi @prabin_chand1

You can try to fix it by using the following steps:

  1. Main Menu → Design → UiExplorer
  2. Use indicate element from the stand-alone opened UiExplorer and try to point to the element involved for get text
  3. If that doesn’t work, you can try changing the version of UiPath.UiAutomation.Activities to an earlier version or a newer/current version
  4. Check UiExplorer again and restart UiPath Studio
