Hi There,

I just updated my UiPath Studio Community and I have this issue,

LoginCitrix has thrown an exception

Source: Open browser

Message: Cannot communicate with the browser, please check the UiPath extension.

Exception Type: BrowserOperationException

Which browser? Did you check?

Means resolved or still having issue?

Hi @anand1,
Could you please check whether the chrome application got updated. Because the interface is different from the older version and UiPath might not be able to read the data using the selector.

Hi @vvaidya,
Recently chrome browser has been updated and due to which UiPath is not able to communicate with the browser.
Could you suggest a way how to handle these in the future.

I’m also having the same problem(cannot communicate with browser).
UiPath version-v2018.1.1
Chrome version-69.0.3497.100 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Hi @loginerror,
Could you please look into this issue as couple of members are facing accessing Chrome Browser

every new version I got the same problem … I reinstalled the chrome extension again and work fine …
