Fine
Is Java extension installed

https://docs.uipath.com/studio/docs/installing-the-java-extensions

If installed no worries we can try with send hot key activity with key tab and another activity with enter key

Cheers @RajeshSwarnkar

Yes, Java extension is installed in studio, does it needs to be added to the dependencies as well - UiPath.Java.Activities?

[RajeshSwarnkar (RS)]

Navigating via tab-ing (Sending hotkey) will be tedious and error prone.

Hi @RajeshSwarnkar

Could you try the Repair option when editing already existing selector? I believe the selector might be fixed with some wildcards for the characters that are not stable. Keep repairing and refreshing your app until the selector is stable enough

Thanks for the Hint @loginerror !

I suspected below causes for this:

1. Target IE 11 Browser may not have the UiPath addon. (Then I got to know that there is no UIPath add-on for the IE.). And checked if active scripting was allowed in browser.

2. I checked if the Java was enabled in browser.

3. I went through the selectors and the HTML structure and realized that the menu items were dynamic, hence selector was failing. So i used the wild card * and the click worked well !

thanks for the hint. Adding these point for reference.
