How to create new browser session using UiPath test automation

[viuppulu (vittu_robot)]

Hello all,

I am new to UiPath Test Automation. If I am trying to execute same test more than one time, browser is saving the cache and when I reexecute again the session contains old cookies even I check ‘NewSession to True’.
Can any one help me how to create new session for each execution

How to open Multiple Instances of same Browser?

Hello. If you open multiple instances of a browser using Open Browser Activity you can save the session in a variable using the UIBrowser Output propriety. Problems can appear when the two browser have the same url but if you do the login first this should not be the case. When you are trying to do interactions with the multiple sessions you have to add an attach browser were in Input field in Browser Propriety you should specify the browser session that you saved earlier. In principle this s…

@THIRU_NANI
But when you take Selenium or other automation tools, when we execute more than one test cases it will create separate sessions for each test case.

1. Lets execute my test case name Test_A(Work flow: Login, Home page validation, user validation)
2. Lets execute my second test case Test_B(Workflow: Login, Registration page validation)

When I run second test cases in UiPath will lunch the browser with old session (by default application loging in). this should not be the case. when you execute next test case or next run browser should lunch with new session.

• Lets execute my test case name Test_A(Work flow: Login, Home page validation, user validation)
• Lets execute my second test case Test_B(Workflow: Login, Registration page validation)

Before getting to second step or second process did we try to close the browser session in first step itself

It is always a good practice to close the application been used in a session before bot stops

So here in your case close the browser session or any application you are using for each individual run and then try with next run
It won’t come

Hi!

@Palaniyappan Actually it’s an good idea. but in this case he’s log in to the application. The close Browser\Application will close the browser but when it comes to the website the login will stays.

@viuppulu

Lets execute my test case name Test_A(Work flow: Login, Home page validation, user validation)

In this case can we add logout workflow? when new session is encountered this will starts from scratch.

@Palaniyappan ,

Yes, I am closing the browser by using CloseTab activity at the end of the test case. Even I close the browser, application is loading with logged the user.

[viuppulu (vittu_robot)]

@THIRU_NANI ,

We can add logout, but my worry is when we start next round of execution or next test case manually why the previous session is loading.
I am closing the browser after test case workflow done.

Hi,
In our team we always follow, as best practice:

1. Open Browser: select private mode + new session options + create browser variable
   

2. Log In

3. Log Out

4. Close tab: so, browser.element variable to refer exactly to the session you just have created
   

By this way you’ll always refer to the session you’re working on

I think you can then try with Private browsing option as it doesn’t save any caches

For that choose as Private in property panel of that activity

That should be working fine

Cheers @viuppulu

Hi!

You can try with Private inside the open browser activity!

in order to use private(Incognito) we must enable the browser extension as Allow in Incognito inside the browser extensions.

@THIRU_NANI

Thanks for the info. I have changed the properties as per above screenshot. It’s working in Private mode.
Apparently ,normal browser should launch a new session every time right?

[THIRU_NANI (NaNi)]

Hi!

Yes. we can also use new session in private mode as well.

by setting the NewSession=True

[viuppulu (vittu_robot)]

@THIRU_NANI ,

For Private browser does not require to set true because private browser will not save cache.

Normal browser is not creating new session.

[viuppulu (vittu_robot)]

Looks like no solution yet with the existing version

Open browser not opening new session

Fine kindly ensure that these steps were used in uipath –while activity with condition like this counter < 3 where counter is a int32 variable with default value as 0 defined in the variable panel –then use a OPEN BROWSER activity and mention the URL –inside the open browser container use type into activity to enter the login credentials and entered inside the page we want –now use a send hot key activity with key as ctrl+t which will open the specific page we want to navigate –then use…

Yeah that’s right

But still did we try with other browsers as well
