My retry scope doesn't work

zefang · June 4, 2019, 6:43am

This is in Word Application Scope. I am using the retry scope to keep scrolling the Word Document until it finds “places for staff” and click on it.

However, it only scroll once or twice and the RPA stops running.

Please help. Thank you!

Buddy @zefang
in retry scope properties
we will be having a property where we can define the Number of Retries and i think as it s mentioned as 3 it just scrolls down three time…try to put the maximum no of retries so that it would work
your condition looks good and so it should work for sure

Cheers @zefang

hi @zefang,

Please check the properties pane of the retry scope activity , there you will find a numberOFretries by default it is 3. so after three times it stops automatically. so Increase the number beyond a threshold at which you could find the particular word.

@Shiva_Karthik @Palaniyappan

Kindly make sure that the image dragged on for both image exists and click image exactly and increase the image accuracy in image exists and click image property to 0.5 or 0.3
and then try buddy @zefang
Hope it would work
Cheers

@Palaniyappan the accuracy is 0.8 here though

Palaniyappan · June 4, 2019, 6:59am

the more you set the accuracy the more the bot will look for accuracy
so here we can reduce the accuracy and try buddy
Cheers @zefang

Also try to mention the scope of the image where we want to find and click
and you can do that by clicking here both in click and find image

Cheers @zefang

@Palaniyappan I tried redragging, reducing the accuracy and mentioned the scope to no avail.

buddy lets check whether the image exists work first @zefang
get the output of retry scope and store it a variable of type boolean and name it out_boolean, and in the variable panel set this variable a default value of false
–then next to retry scope use a write line activity and mention this boolean variable like this
out_boolean.ToString
–if it prints true, it has found the image and if it shows false, the default value set by us, it has not found the image yet
–if image idendified, the problem is with click and if image not identified problem is with image exists activity
Cheers @zefang
