Hi I’m a new RPA developer and I’m trying to automate the clicks of a chrome extension just by adding a click activity and indicating it on the screen, but when I run, the extension is not click. I particularly need it to work this way because of certain requirements (vs. web recording). Can anyone help? thanks!
Hi reda! I’m working on web accessibility and I’m using a chrome extension called Wave. I dropped a click activity and when I go to indicate on the screen, it seems to be fine, but it doesn’t trigger the click at all.
When you;re indicating on the screen you can see the icon of the extension getting highlighted and not anything else with, meaning does UiPath detect the icon of the extension as an element??
because this is not the case for me .
No it is not highlighted for me. It highlights the entire webpage.
Well this is what’s happening to me also, I think in this case you should use clipping region, meaning you will click on the image of the icon rather than its element representation.
To do this place an click activity, click indicate on screen, and click at the edge of the icon an hold click and hover over it to place the icon inside the square that you’re creating.
