GlobalHandlerX in StudioX

Help StudioX
, ,
1

Hello,

I am running a bot in StudioX. When I’m testing and it throws an error, sometimes GlobalHandlerX displays, sometimes it doesn’t. Is there a certain criteria when it will switch to GlobalHandlerX?

Also, once GlobalHandlerX has opened, I can’t see a way to close it and return to the workflow, except by closing StudioX and re-opening it. Is there a way to GlobalHandlerX and return to the workflow?

Thank you very much for your help!

Hi @Clintonn
Welcome to the UiPath community!

Can you please post a screenshot of the error by reproducing the issue?
Thanks

Hello,

Even better than a screenshot would be a small gif and if possible the project :slight_smile: Always of help would be some logs (%localappdata%/UiPath/logs)

Regards,
Dragos.

Hi @John_OBrien

I see your question hasn’t been responded to. I hope this still helps after a month and a half.
The Expand and Collapse options are to make it easy to navigate through long workflow files. When you put certain sequence(s) of activities within a scope, e.g. Application Scope or Use Excel File, you can use “Collapse” to see only the main blocks of the process and then expand the one you want to work on, etc.

May I ask what is the purpose to try closing that option?

Alternatively, if you’re looking for a close button (X) to close the GlobalHandlerX file, StudioX is designed to run only one file - Main.xaml to keep things easy.

The opening of GlobalHandlerX during testing may be a bug (though someone from the mod team could confirm it)

Could you maybe provide a sample project that causes this issue for you?

I am having the same issue. I am running a program and it is randomly opening the GlobalHandlerX and there is no way to close it. I want to get back to my Main project to fix the error, but I cannot do that without completely closing the program and opening it back up again.

Hey @lara.augustine ,

Would it be possible to share with us some repro steps on how to trigger this, as well as the StudioX version you are using. Could you maybe provide a sample project that causes this issue for you?

This occurs when I choose “run to this activity” and I have an error occur occur
StudioXBootcamp1.7z (690.3 KB)
. You wait for the timeout associated with the error, it goes to the GlobalHandler and doesn’t return to main nor does there seem to be an easy way to select main.

I am currently using Enterprise 21.10.3.

In the attached project try run to this activity to the Outlook activity. It fails, when you notice it stops wait and see what happens.

@Ken_Day
I gladly welcome you to UiPath Community Forums :slight_smile:

In your project, it seems there is a problem when creating a new sheet, due to the character limit in the name (31 letters or less)
One of the vendor names is “SAN MIGUEL FOODS ,INC_2022-01-08” which is 33 characters long, and the program fails to create sheet.

Is this the problem you’ve been facing?
Log:

Hi Ash

Thanks for looking at this, I created the problem (too many characters in the sheet name) to recreate the issue raised originally.

Regards

Ken

Hello,
I’m also facing the same issue. Might be a bit late, but sharing the only workaround I could think of in case it helps anyone in the future.: it seems like the GlobalHandlerX template comes on screen only if you execute from a certain activity onwards. So what I did was to Comment out/Disable/Hide all the previous activities, and Run the whole process from the beginiing. A bit tacky, but well, it’s practical.
