Not able to click on hoverable element

Help Studio

Dear everyone

I am trying to automate a process and for that I need to click on some certain things.

I am at a point where I need to click on a hoverable element that is inside another hoverable element. Clicking into the first hoverable works very fine, however, the second hoverable is not working what so ever. Using my mouse manual and without UiPath I can click on it, however, using UiPath’s “click” or “hover” activity does not seems to work here.

Step 1: Click

Step 2: Hover/ click to get the second hoverable

Step 3: Click on hoverable element

I can’t seem to do the third step, since every time I use either click og hover to be able to click on the Excel, it just disappears immediately. Any help would be gladely appreciated.

Have a great day/ night forward.

Cheers…
Nemanja. V

Ps. Here is my workflow, however, I am not allowed to show a lot due to work policy.

Hi @nmjvk

Use Hover Activity or when using click use hover

Hi

I already specified in my post that I have been using hover, it does not help.

@nmjvk If you are using classic, use hover activity. If you are using modern activities, please use F6 or hover in selection option.
You need to select the target element which need to be selected and anchor should be set as parent hover value.

Hi,
Enable the “SimulateClick” or “SimulateHover” property: In the properties panel of the “Click” or “Hover” activity, enable the “SimulateClick” or “SimulateHover” property. This option allows UiPath to simulate the click or hover action, bypassing any potential issues with the underlying UI events.
Thank you

is your outer UI Element (that brings the inner UI hover element) is opened while you trying to click inner UI Element ?

Hi @nmjvk

Try these steps:

  1. Use the “Hover” activity to hover over the first hoverable element. This activity simulates moving the mouse cursor over the element without clicking it. Indicate the first hoverable element using the “Indicate on screen” or “Find Element” method.
  2. Once the mouse cursor is hovering over the outer element, use the “Hover” activity again to hover over the inner hoverable element. Similarly, indicate the inner hoverable element using the appropriate method.
  3. After hovering over the inner element, use the “Click” activity to perform the click action on it. You can indicate the inner element using the “Indicate on screen” or “Find Element” method.

It does still not work. The hoverable element disappears immediately

@nmjvk Make sure the selector for the element is stable from the Ui explorer visual tree.

That also, unfortunately, does not work.

That also does not work. I keep getting the same error for all solutions
“Click ‘Microsoft Excel’: The UI element is invalid. Make sure the target application is open and the element is on the screen.”

@nmjvk Try this and let me know if its work or not.

13

Yes, my outer hoverable is open!

Hello, unfortunately, this method does now work. I get the same error as everyone else’s method.

“Hover ‘Microsoft Excel’: The UI element is invalid. Make sure the target application is open and the element is on the screen.”

I have made sure, it still does not work.

For everyone curious. I do not know why UiPath does not allow me to hover the element. I can do it fine on the website manually and click on the Excel logo on the hoverable element. Using click or hover produces the error “Hover ‘Microsoft Excel’: The UI element is invalid. Make sure the target application is open and the element is on the screen.”
