Hi @shnega

Does your selector string contains idx or session related information ? Could you screenshot the selector for analysis?

Hi @shnega,

Could you please share the selector you are using.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi @shnega,

Is there anything beyond tag='IFRAM ?. What we are looking for is something that is changing from day to day. It may be so that ‘idx’ property in selector or a date in the selector or even the FormID (2018 in this case) change from one day to another. That’s why you receive the error message. We need to find what is changing.

Please note down the selector you found today & then tomorrow check the selector again. Now compare the two. Where ever you see a change add the wild card * instead of the characters that change day to day.

Hope that helps !

Thanks & Regards,
Nithin

@shnega - can you try to validate the selector and check - is it still validating? if yes - please close all firefox browser tabs and retry.

Hi @shnega

If still having issue both FormKey=* and FormID=*

Hi @GBK
i validated the selector by keeping firefox- respective site open , then it is validated[shown green]
I validated the selector by closing firefox- then it is not validated [shown red]
it was not a click activity , it is select item activity .
please find the screenshot of it:

@shnega - can you try changing WaitForReady → WaitForReady.COMPLETE

Hi @shnega

“It is not a click activity, it is a select item activity”… Do you have a click activity before select item? Try adding a delay of 2 to 3 seconds before the select item activity.

Does the application behave the same in another browser?
