Hi, I have a process that worked perfectly until it was updated. The problem is that the new selector can’t find where to write, since they now use IDX and this number changes with each load.
Previously, the selector displayed these final lines:
That idx value varies and doesn’t work with the wildcard character *.
I’ve tried using “Anchor” as follows, but I keep getting a timeout error when typing.
I’ve also tried using UI Explore, but I can’t get any tags. Any ideas?
idx attribute is automatically added when there are multiple identical elements presents.
In your selector its idx=9 it means there are 9 elements with similar selectors, and studio trying to differentiate them by adding idx.
Try to find a unique attribute like id, aaname, class, etc for your target element or parents of target element.
Add few parent elements into the selectors to reduce or completely remove idx.
@Aguirre ,
As per the screenshot it looks you are using classic activities. Have you tried using modern activity? modern activities works more reliably and offers fallback methods that if one method fails to identify selector you can configure couple of other methods.
Hi, I’ve tried, but even with uiexplore I can’t get any tags. I tried clicking on the text and the box activates, I’m going to see if I can attack it that way.
I’m testing a newer version and it’s working fine when inserting the data. I’ll continue testing the entire process.
Thanks
