Indicate in browser option is throwing error

Pls help me figure this out. I’ve added design screenshot here. Whenever I click on ‘Indicate in browser’ it’s throwing the error as shown in the image.

I’ve tried reopening project, reinstalling studio, restarting machine and changing browsers as well but nothing worked out. It is launching the mainpage as in first step but when I want to use ‘TypeInto’ & ‘Click’ or similar activities, it’s throwing the error and can’t indicate & proceed. I’m a rookie here and thanks in advance for looking into the query.

@Haywire,

There is something at system level blocking this ui interaction.
Follow this KB and check event logs to see what’s failing when you try to indicate the ui element.

@ashokkarale Thank you for the response.

I’ve checked the event logs and nothing shown up as an ‘error’ when the studio failed to indicate(at and around the timestamp, nothing unusual.)
Just usual ‘info’ level logs with browser event is completed note.

Pls help me if there’s anything else I should be checking, It happened to be a blocker and couldn’t automate any webpage.

@Haywire,

Have you tried automate any other browser than this?

Hi @Haywire

What version of UiPath you are using?
Are you in community or enterprise license?

Also what is the version for uiautomation package?

@Haywire

Welcome to the community

When indicating try to use the actual url instead of variables and check if that solves the issue

Also window attachmode would be application instance or single window ..why does it show process name for you?did you happen to type it?

Cheers

Yeah, as a first troubleshooting step. Same for both Edge & Chrome.

@sonaliaggarwal47 Thanks for the response.

It is community version 2025.0.167 STS.

And I have UiAutomation package version v25.10.4

@Anil_G Thanks for the response.

Replaced var with the URL & tried with Application & Single window for attachmode, nothing helped. Any other possible suggestions are highly appreciated.

@Haywire

As discussed please try to change the UI Autoamtion version to something lower(24.x) as the current version you are using is posing issues with new additions

Happy Automation

cheers

  1. Install Browser Extension
    – Go to Studio → Home → Tools → Install (for Chrome/Edge).
    – Enable it in the browser and restart both.
  2. Run Studio as Admin
  3. Avoid Incognito Mode
  4. Try Classic Activities
    – Modern may fail in some setups.
  5. Check Package Version
    – Use a stable UiPath.UIAutomation.Activities version (e.g., 23.x).
  6. Optional: Use UI Explorer to check browser selector access.
