Is the Get Attrubute just working together with the Open Browser?

[kwoxer]

I want to check if the page has loaded completely. Here I use the Get Attribute activity. Just set the Attribute to readyState and it will wait until the page has actually loaded until the end.

This is very useful as some websites that I use need a pretty long time to load and just using a selector on the page does not work, as you need to set a high timeout then. But I want small timeouts and still a reliable system.

So using the Get Attribute on the Open Browser works perfectly:

This loads the Reddit page and just when it finished, it moves on.

But when I now replace the Open Browser with the Attach Browser, then the Get Attribute does not work anymore. It seems as if it just waits until the timeout of the Get Attribute reaches.

So my question is, is the Get Attrubute just working together with the Open Browser?

Ahh I already solved it. I tested it isolated and it worked everywhere.

My issue was that the Browser object was not set. And so the Attach Browser was not able to be working. But anyway, the error message was not good. It did not simply say that the Browser object is empty. Instead it said something totally misleading.

Maybe you could improve that. That would save so much time searching for the real issue.
