Hi @Mustafa_Hamed

Can you please try to set Repeat Forever property to false?

Thanks,
Prankur

[Mustafa_Hamed]

Already done that

[PrankurJoshi]

No problem, can you please try to use UIExplorer and see that selector is the same which is for the actual element

Thanks,
Prankur

[Mustafa_Hamed]

ok so this is the selector from UIExplorer

and this is the selector from my On Element Appear

The only difference is the text because the saved file changes every time(the On Element Appear activity is in a for each activity)

[PrankurJoshi]

This works for me

[Mustafa_Hamed]

Ok i think you selected the whole bar notification right?, not just the text.

[Mustafa_Hamed]

Just tryed that same error

[Mustafa_Hamed]

@PrankurJoshi the fact is that the process does this activity

but it stops right after with the error

[Mustafa_Hamed]

I’ve run it in debug mode and i found out that the problem is in the excel application activity( it’s inside the On Element Appear activty) and it’s the same type of error (value cannot be null parameter name: path)

Please check that you have data in yearlyreport data table.

As an alternative, you can use Element Exists for that popup and have an if/else, If popup exists then your code and something in else part. like this

Do not forget to add some delay after you click on Download button to report’s page

Thanks,

Found the problem!
I was assigning the wrong variable it wasn’t ReportFilePath but out_yearlyreportpath.

@PrankurJoshi thanks a lot for your help!

[PrankurJoshi]

Very well, all the best.
