Target is not valid because 'Strict selector' method is not enabled

[ulises.ariza]

Good day to you all,

I am working on a process where I need to obtain a data table from a desktop app. To do this I use the Table Extraction activity and after I select the data I want to extract UiPath gives an error message saying that the target is not valid because ‘Stric selector’ is not enabled.

If I go to targetting method and select Strict Selector it gives me this error.

And if I only select strict selector in targetting method it gives me this error

It have recently updated the official UiPath packages in the project so maybe the easy fix would be doing a rollback on the package version but I find it weird that this activity does not work now.

@ulises.ariza,

This is because you have selected Computer Vision also as an targeting method.

I had to choose Computer Vision because if dont use it I get this error from the Table Extraction activity.

The thing is that before I updated the Packages version the activity worked fine and I don’t know if this is a bug with the activity or not. I have found this topic in the forum: Problem importing custom package - #3 by Anil_G where the user has a similar problem as me with the Table Extraction activity. I’m not using custom packages, only official ones.

I will say that the extraction works. If I go to the activity in the project and I click on Test Extraction the activity extracts the data I want to obtain but the activity remains with an error.

That’s strange! May be the product team can help us on this.

Then go to properties in the target method deselect everythign else

Or use cv table activity directly

Cheers

Hello!

Sorry I did not reply yesterday, it was a bank holiday where I live.

If I deselect everything I get the same ‘Stric Selector’ error. Which is why I think there might something else to my error.

I will try using CV Table and let you know what I get from that.

Thanks!

EDIT: I get another error where it says I don’t have the System.Drawing dependency when I do have it…

Hi, is this issue fixed? I’m facing the same problem.

Hello!

Nope, I haven’t been able to fix it. I’m going to try repurpose another project that has older package versions and copy paste the activities to see if it’s fixed or not.
