Level 3 Assignment 1 : SelectorNotFound exception while retrieving hashcode from sha1

hi techies,
I am trying to execute assignment 1 , during the first iteration it is getting search string from system1 (ACME) and going to sha1 and retrieving the secure hash code.
but in the second iteration(for 2nd work item) it is not retrieving hash code of the string string from sha1 , giving SelectorNotFound exception for Get Text activity (<wectrl id='result-sha1 tag=‘SPAN’/>).
do we need to use wild cards for Get Text selector since the hash code changes for every iteration.
attached my work flow and error msg. any suggestions or help can be appreciated.

Hi @santoshg01
Please try this one:
sha1
Thanks and regards

Hi @santoshg01

Yeah… we have to use wild cards… use ui explorer to build a good selector. There you can add wild cards and test your selector for multiple hash codes. The selector given by @Jan_Brian_Despi should also work for you…

Let know how it goes

hi @Jan_Brian_Despi , thank you so much for quick reply , i have tried with the given selector.
for loop iterated successfully with out any error and “status” changed to completed for all the work items.
but unfortunately in the “Add comments” section it updated the with same hash code for all the work items.
The hash code which is retrieved for the fist work item is updated for the rest of the WI5 items too. (hope i am clear :slight_smile: ) please suggest what can be done.

Hi @santoshg01

looks like the values are not getting assigned accurately to the variable that you use to type in the hash code to the comments section. Could you try using the debug mode, have a break point on the activity that assigns the hash code to the variable and see how it returns the value right up to the point you type the hash code in the comments section. Once you add a break point, go back to the main workflow, run the program in debug mode so that you can see what values that get assigned to those variables. Once the execution reach to the point where you added the break point, run it step by step while looking at the values that get assigned. This way you will be able to easily identify the issue.

Let know if you have any further issues…
