So I have created an xaml flow which clicks browser buttons downloads files and then does some basic operations. I setup a windows server and connected remotely to it and when I debug my process automation while staying on the screen it works smoothly, problem is that I can’t keep my pc on forever so when I just minimize the file even though my system remains up and running:
I was just curious to know if it’s compulsory to keep screen open for the ui based process automation to run through unattended robot?
This is the error I get which is like first UI interaction:
message: Click ‘Facesheet’: Could not find the user-interface (UI) element for this action. Possible solutions: • Ensure application is opened and the UI element is visible on the screen at execution time • Edit the Target of the UI activity and use Validation to debug the issue. • If needed, re-indicate the element as its properties might have changed • Use “Check state” activity to check the application state before executing the action • Increase the “Delay before” value to allow time to the application to render entirely and become responsive
Here are the steps I have performed:
- Created an unattended robot with machine as the remote instance name.
- Created an environment and connected with the robot created in step 1.
- Setup UIPath Assistant using machine key and URL.
- Published the files and scheduled it to run everyday at 12.00 Am.
The process faults at its first UI interaction. Even though it was running in unattended robot form.
Thanks in advance.
