How to open browser using CV

Hi,

I want to open the Chrome browser via a Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) connection using Computer Vision (CV), navigate to a URL like ‘https://rpachallenge.com/’, and fill out the form. I managed to open the browser, but when I use the CV Type Into activity to enter the URL, I encounter the error: ‘CV Type Into - Element not found’. I have already captured the remote desktop screen inside the CV Screen Scope activity. Do I need to re-capture the screen specifically for the browser window when using the CV Type Into activity, since it needs to interact with the browser?

You shouldn’t be using CB Screen Scope and CV Type Into. You should be using the regular modern activities (Click, Type Into, etc) - they have CV selectors built in.

Hi @vivek.srivastava

Please use click and type into activity to select the CV selector

If solution works for you please mark as solution

To open a browser using CV, first use the Start Process activity. Then use the Use Application/Browser activity and select the browser in screen. Add CV Click Or CV Type Into activity to interact.

Hi @vivek.srivastava,

You can use the Modern Type Into activity with a CV Selector and Semantic Selector. This should help resolve the issue.

Thanks

If you dont have access to install any sofware in RDP then you need to use CV activities,

  • Use CV Screen Scope activity as parent once
  • In your RDP set the Chrome application under taskbar.
  • In My scenario when i added the Chrome to taskbar at the bottom, automation unable to identify the taskbar itself, then you can reindicate from CV scope, make sure while indicating taskbar also need to be in the target.
  • If that is not possible change the settings of taskbar position either left or right side.
  • Or if you dont want to change the taskbar position then add the chrome application to desktop, then you cv click activity then browser will open.
  • Then use cv type into activity and type the url in search section.

Hope this will help you
