You need to use the click activity to click on the refresh button in a attach browser activity as it is a pop up.

Or, a simple thing , you can send a hot key F5 to refresh or ctrl + R.

Is it recognizing the element on the pop up you are getting? @Sriram07

No that’s the problem it was not recognizing anything in that right click menu.
Check and share me the workflow @HareeshMR kindly! if possible!

Hi @Sriram07

Could you try to post a screenshot again?
I think I understand your scenario. Basically, this is your scenario:

  1. Start capturing selector
  2. Press F2 to pause it for 3 seconds
  3. Right click a menu in Chrome
  4. Wait…
  5. Choose your element

After you do the 5., Studio throws Uielement is no longer valid. This happens most likely because the menu got closed before the selector could have been captured.

It would help to see which right click menu is it.

@loginerror
sorry right now i cant post any screenshot.
browser : Chrome
think like any webpage say google.com
and assume i want to do right click on that image of google and i want to select a right click menu as “Open image in New Tab”
But whatever you are saying is exactly correct that’s the problem I’m facing.
Let me know how can we solve this.

Hi

Please try input type as Send Window Message while clicking on Reload button. Default is not working for me. You can also try sending hotkey ctrl+R to reload the page.

If you want to open any link in new tab, then try ctrl+Click on that particular link instead of normal click or trying right click and then Open in new tab.
In key modifiers property of click, you can check ctrl to perform above action.

Strangely enough, it worked for me:

Could you make sure your UiPath.UiAutomation package is updated to the latest Stable version 19.7.0?
This might help here.

I tested it on Stable Studio Community Edition 2019.7 with all packages updated to their latest versions as well.
