Renaming ExceptionScreenhot files

[adrian_sullivan]

hi all

i have a large project running in re framework with a lot of work flows
when there is an excption thrown it saves a screengrab to the exception screenshots folder as part of takescreenshot.xaml

is there any way to save the exception as something like Workflow2_42344323.png

thanks,

Hi @adrian_sullivan

You can achieve it

Check this link out

Check your constant sheet of config file

Exception screenshot is not saving inside "Exception_Screenshot" folder

When you use the relative path, like “Exceptions_Screenshots\ExceptionScreenshot_190128.011802.png” and publish your project, the path it uses will be the current directory of the project. The project when published gets moved to either the local location here “C:\ProgramData\UiPath\Projects” or on the Orchestrator machine. So, the Robot is actually looking for “C:\ProgramData\UiPath\Projects\ProjectName\Exceptions_Screenshots\ExceptionScreenshot_190128.011802.png” rather than in your original p…

Hi,

Inside REF you can change the file path i.e io_FilePath (Take screenshot .xaml): Look at the Screenshot below:

Hi @adrian_sullivan

You can. Edit that in Take screenshot xaml

at the Screenshot below:

If you want to rename, use rename activity inside Fro each File in Folder

if i use a rename actvitiy i am not not certain where i will supply the new name from eg worflow1_443423.png

as the job is running is currently renames the exception file as exceptionscreenshot_443423.png so how to provide either the failed workflow name or failed que item to rename the screenshot to something like worflow1_443423.png

maybe i can edit edit it in Take screenshot xaml like @nikhil.girish has suggested, i just dont know how to do it…

[adrian_sullivan]

so i am back to this a year later and still need some help.

to summarise:
reframework reading from que
screenshots are being created ok
saved in the correct location

currently if workflow 2 fails the screenshot is being saved as “exception_screenshot_32233.png”

what i need is something like - “workflow 2_32233.png”

i dont think i can use a rename actvity as i dont know how to link the que name with the correct screenshot from the location

it would be better to use either the que name or test name in the take scrrenshot.xaml file

any help apprecaited
