Help- Click activity suddenly stopped working (Could not find the user-interface (ui) element for this action)

[Yomi_Oluwadara (darkNight)]

I have a workflow that has been working PERFECTLY FINE, until yesterday. A click activity seems to have stopped working and its throwing the error below:

Here is the sequence of the workflow ( I also attached my workflow).

1. Automation launches Home - Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services | CMS and types in " Summary of data changes" in the search.

2. Then a click activity clicks on “I/OCE Quarterly Release Files | CMS” . see below:
   

   

3. then another click activity clicks on the most recent version of the entries here ( I/OCE Quarterly Release Files | CMS
   

   

See the activities for numbers 2 and 3 below

OBSERVATIONS.

1. I notice that on number 2 from above, automation does not seem to be clicking on the link
2. From debugging, number 3 above seem to the cause of the issue.
3. While automation is stalling on number 2, if I manually click on it, automation continues and everything works fine.

WHAT i HAVE DONE TO FIX IT

1. I ensured that the browser window is open so automation can find UI elements
2. I edited and validated the Target for number 2 and 3
3. I used another click activity to see if that changes anything, but it does not.

Need some help now because this workflow has been working just fine before yesterday. See workflow attached.

Hey @Yomi_Oluwadara
Maybe you can start by using ‘verify execution option’.

@pikorpa

erify execution option

@pikorpa Thanks for the suggestion, I went ahead and update my verify execution setting, but still not getting the desired behavior.
