7 out of 10 times I run a robot that needs to sign in to a website it completes the wrong email address. The email address is fine because in the other 3 cases it’s ok. But it’s annoying to restart the process constantly just because the robot can’t fill in correctly the email address.
Maybe this is solved in a newer version but when I go in my UiPath studio I see this info:
Studio 2018.3.2 - 10/30/2018
Community Edition
Windows Installer
Expires in 12 weeks
Device ID: YXzI0rgR2t79APSGNiOu
Microsoft Windows 10 Enterprise 64-bit
.NET Framework Version 4.7.2
Whatever I do, it won’t update to a newer version. It’s the community edition the one I am using. I am asking an honest question here: how is anyone supposed to finish the academy training and tests if the software acts this buggy and is an annoyance source?
I understand your concerns, but here are a few things to ensure the email address is entered correctly from the workflow:
Before you type in the email, can you please print it to see if the address is correct.
Ensure the page is loaded
Third, you might want to check how you’ve configured type into. Look into the properties - Waitforready =Complete ; Simulate Type - uncheck; Empty Field - Check
I believe this is not related to the version of the tool.
address is correct → as I said 3 times it works, 7 times it does not work
page is loaded both times → it either ommits to put the “@” or it puts some other letters at the end of the email address
Waitforready is set to Complete; Simulate Type is unchecked; Empty field - Checked.
Right now it seems to be working a little bit better. This is what I have changed:
Simulate Type → Checked
DelayBetweenKeys → 100
But nonetheless this is not normal at least in my opinion → to constantly tinker with things because the robot cannot type in correctly. Also, I am forced to use IE in 2019 !!! Using Chrome is not possible due to a lot of the things not working in Chrome.
At the moment I try to not quit from learning and using this software but I am not very far from doing that as it has annoying bugs, the documentation is far from clear and the instructions for the exercises are not very clear.
I am a little confused on the question. Are you receiving any error messages when you run the process? are you looping through the process and only works 3 out of 7 times. What does the website look like?
Could you elaborate more on the process or share xaml files or a screenshot?
This was and is happening while doing the Advanced course exercises (calculate hash & generate yearly report) with the acme website. I think there should be a DEFAULT setting on UiPath studio elements so that they work with the tools provided by UiPath for academy courses, exams etc and not make us go through trial&error with every possible option for every possible case scenario to see exactly what works for the acme website only. I did some changes and now it works 9 out of 10 times → acceptable for now, but definitely this would not be acceptable in a real world use case.
