New to UIPath. Please help!

Hi all, new member here. I was tasked with creating a Bot that will log into an application and extract data from it. The Bot will open the app but will not log-in. I’m getting a Source Type into ‘push button error’. See below. Can anyone help me with this error?

18.4.3+Branch.master.Sha.9888b477be8d3ec8a832306fc59c34ba6edad108

Source: Type Into ‘push button’

Message: Cannot find the UI element corresponding to this selector:

An ExceptionDetail, likely created by IncludeExceptionDetailInFaults=true, whose value is:

Welcome to our uipath community.

It’s Selector issue. Please make Selector dynamic by removing unnecessary attributes from Selector and also use Wild card entries like star “*” or question mark “?” to make Selector reliable.

Thank you for the reply. I’m very new to UIPath so please be patient with me. What do you mean by selectors? I’m not using anything special then a dely. I’m uploading a screenshot.

Hi @anthony.abate
welcome.!
Hope you can see that 3 lines in your Type into activity. click on that. you’ll have an option to edit the selectors.

thank You.

That did it! I was able to repair all 3 username, password and sign on button. Thank you both, for your help. I’m sure this will not be my last post. Still lots more to do. Please look out for more.

Regards,
Tony

Happy coding.!!
