Intermittent "File Not Exist at Source" Error During Rename/Move Activity

Help StudioX
1

Hi Friends,
I’m facing an intermittent issue in my automation workflow related to file handling after downloads.
I’m using the “Wait for Download” activity, and inside it, I have a Click activity that initiates the file download. Most of the time, the bot works fine—out of 10 attempts, it successfully renames and moves the downloaded file about 8 times. However, in 2 out of 10 runs, it throws an error at the Rename activity saying:

“File does not exist at source.”

To address this, I’ve already configured the Ignore file extensions setting with common temporary extensions like .tmp, .dwn, .crdownload, .part. Despite this, the issue still occurs occasionally.

Has anyone experienced similar behavior or found a reliable workaround?

Any suggestions or insights would be greatly appreciated!

@nitesh1890 Please use the Ignore Files option as mentioned in the documentation and give it a try.

Hi,
1.After click activity try to place one delay activity where keep the delay value in either asset or config value
2.Keep these values in config or asset value file .tmp , .dwn , .crdownload , .part in case after moving to production if any other extension exist then we can handle it
