Lesson 5 - Practice 2 walkthrough

Hello, I’m more than frustrated with Uipath …in general. The videos and instructions look easy and simple but when you start doing things too many things don’t work, including the .xaml solutions for the exercises. I don’t know if the way the lessons are shown isn’t clear enough or they have missing parts in purpouse but every single lesson is a headache to make it work somehow. Am I the only one in this situation??

With this practice with notepad… I click on ‘format’ to attach the window, ok window attached. But next I must click on ‘Font’ …yes sounds easy but how am I supposed to click on ‘Font’ when the menu disappears as I go back to Uipath to add the ‘attach window’ and ‘click’ activity ??? So when I go back again to Notepad I can only click again in ‘format’ because the menu disappeared.

Thanks for any response!

Thanks @indra! ok now I can go ahead but F2 was supposed to be used with recording, the said nothing about using it out of there. How did you discover it?? I must be missing information.

Not only in record you can use outside the record also

Late response to this but I agree. You can get held up for hrs on minutae that is not explained. This is the problem with lots of online learning. There is a simple solution and that is to have a forum for lessons which fill in the gaps or most common problems for each lesson. I left another free RPA forums online learning because of the gap between documentation, video and assignment. It was a large waste of time. While there is room for improvement here it is much better in my humble opinion.

I thought I’m the only one struggling understanding practice problems and following them. Seems like there is an issue. I wish I knew it earlier, this would have SAVED so much time of mine.

hello. regarding this practice, how to make uipath select the font size that is in blue. to illustrate more. let’s say you run the sequence the first time. the font size scraped is 10, yet if you change it manually. to 12 for example. and run the script again. it will still show 10. which selectors should i choose?
