When using the activity “type into” from the Browser resource, it seems that StudioX can’t find the Login Id bar and the Password bar so it I’m not able to access the website with the bot
Below is a screenshot of the website login page:

What do your selectors look like for the type into activities used in this scenario?

I’m not able to select an anchor since, as you can see from the screenshot, the labels “Login” and “Password” are within the bar. So I guess that the process can’t find the locations since there is no anchor.

Hi,

In many cases, it works without anchor (especially using strict selector).
Can you try to indicate element then choose only Strict selector and press Confirm?

Hi Yoichi, thanks for your response. I cannot find the strict selector option. Do you know if there’s another solution to this?

Hi,

Are you using StudioX? If so, can you try the following step?

First, put TypeInto activity to designer panel, and set TargetAnchorable at Target property in Proeprties panel.

Next, turn on “StrictSelector” at Targeting methods property.

Click […] button of StrictSelector property, and Click Indicate Element

Thank you! I have tried this and it seems that the bot “clicks” on the “Login” icon that is right below the “Password” box instead of typing into “Login Id”. I have included a screenshot of the project below. I also, see an error related to the “click before typing” property. Let me know if you have any advice on this:)

Hi,

Can you try to check if your selector is same as what you expect, using highlight button in Selector Editor?

I also, see an error related to the “click before typing” property. Let me know if you have any advice on this:)

If you use Simulate mode, can you try to set None at Click before typing property?

Error on “click before typing” property was fixed thanks! The typeinto activity now works but for some reason the bot clicks the “Login” button before typing in “Login Id”. I’m wondering how the it is able to click the “Login” button since I thought I had deleted that activity - is it possible that it is hidden somewhere in the project?

HI,

I think it’s necessary to isolate cause. For example, insert MessageBox just before TypeInto activity, then check which activity clicks the button, the TyprInto or other activity before it.
