Get text....

Hi, I was trying to extract the client details from ACME website. But I was able to extract accurately for the first time in loop. But when it goes on I was getting same details that whatever I extracted first.

which activity you are using either get Text activity or data scarping?

I used modern get text activity .

fine tune the selector and try once

Hi @Pushpendra_kowthavarapu

Check if the web page is loading for every client properly. Try printing the client details after it’s extracted.

Also, try giving the Wait for Ready property in the get text activity as complete.

Tried but still getting same. First time extraction is accurate , second time is also fine. but from third time itself not able to fetch correctly.

@Pushpendra_kowthavarapu before every extraction try to clear the output variable of get text.

  1. Assign - yourGetTextVariable = String.Empty
  2. Get Text
  3. Print

This will help you analyse the issue better.

Stabilising the selector to specifically locate the exact element might also help.

Try the above and debug the code, it can help you to check and find the root cause

Done the same thing. May be i need to check with the selector. Will keeping delay help me to get over this . Anyway thanks for the suggestions.

@Pushpendra_kowthavarapu Delay might help but i would suggest to go to the delay as last option.

Try wait for ready to complete and check the selectors it should fix it

Same problem, have tried every possible version of selectors. and wait for ready. no difference. When I run test cases on the Get Text workflow, it works perfectly every single time, no issue at all. It is only unable to work correctly when running the complete process end to end. It is literally impossible for this to happen, but it happens anyway.

Looks like there is a class going on because multiple people are posting about the same problem. Sounds like it’s the ACME fake page that’s the problem.
