Help

Dear Experts,

I have 3 process with single bot main.xaml. like process A, process B, Process C.

Process A,B,C has different “xaml file” with “.screenshot”. but I can’t see the informative screenshot of an Activity inside my process of A.xaml , B.xaml and C.xaml.

I know UiPath will take parent .Screenshot Folder inside the root of our project. but i want separate folder .screenshot reference for process(A.xaml,B.xaml,C.xaml) with single project(Main.xaml).

Thanks,
Arunachalam.

In RE Framework you have the TakeScreenshot workflow, which accepts in_Folder as parameter. You could include this in your project, and call it in case of error passing the desired in_Folder argument.

@Sparrow,

Thanks for your reply, But I’m talking about .screenshot folder not “TakeScreenshot” Activity. Can you please read my above query clearly. Hope my sound is good :grinning:.

Thanks,
Arunachalam.

@HareeshMR and @sandeep13,

This’s workaround is not proper solution for my question. If I will use this workaround I need to change all informative screenshot of the activity. Can you please tell me the proper solution for this activity.

Thanks,
Arunachalam

You want screenshots for each folder Individually?

Then I hope it will be an enhancement of the tool

Fine
Thats really a good question @Arunachalam
I tried to reproduce your issue
and hope this would help you
–i had two projects Process_1 and Process_2, in each of the project i used to click activity to capture the informative screenshot with it
–Both in a separate folder
–Then i moved the Process_2 folder to Process_1
–and i tried to open the mail.xaml of Process_1, where i was able to see image in click activity
–here in the studio i opened the project panel and tried to expand the Process_2 folder as we have this moved to Process_1 folder
–in that expansion i tried to open the main.xaml with click activity but i was not able to see the image, as we are now in the Process_1 folder nupkg where all the screenshots image which are in the parent screenshot folder will only be visible,
–so as it terms parent screenshot folder i added the images from screenshot folder from Process_2 to Screenshot folder (parent folder) of Process_1
and i was able to see the image of Process_2 click activity being opened from Process_1 project folder

here you go
As individual folders
Process_1.zip (9.4 KB)
Process_2.zip (9.5 KB)
now Process_2 in Process_1
Process_1.zip (19.1 KB)

Hope this would help you resolve this

Cheers

So, you have to do the following steps @Arunachalam,

  1. Use try catch for every activity you are using in the workflow
  2. Use screenshot activity in every catch block and everything will be assigned with some different variable of type Image
  3. Use save image activity to save in the required path.

This will do the trick you need.

@HareeshMR,

Can you please follow my query, it’s not regarding screenshot activity, it’s for .screenshot folder.

Thanks,

@Palaniyappan,

May I know whether you got my question? I have seen your workflow it’s not related to my query. Please check my query again. I hope my sound is good :smiley:

Thanks,

I understand @Arunachalam,

I think UiPath is developed to save the screenshots it in the parent folders only .
So, I’m suggesting you to do that manually by yourself using the existing activities.

And I just gave you an alternative to do the requirement than finding a solution from the Team UiPath :smile: .
