I had the same issue too.
When you create a blank task at the beginning, click on “Show advanced options”.
There, under compatibility, you can choose “windows - legacy” from the drop-down before creating the task.
Hope it helps…
This a great practice to understand how to work with UI Automation. In the beginning, I was stuck with the technique of selecting the anchor. However, going through the community’s posts gave me the ideas to get on track and complete the exercise.
I didn’t use the template document even though it was listed in the Robot Path for this practice activity. Using the template doesn’t make sense. I needed to download the filled out spreadsheet from the RPA Challenge website and then use the information from that spreadsheet to enter information into the fields on the RPA Challenge website. When I tried to insert the template spreadsheet as per the Robot Path, my automation didn’t work. When I took it out, my automation worked.
This course took me much longer than the 2 hours it stated, but it was only because I needed to get familiar with the terminology and locating the items. However, at the end of the practice, it was much easier to finish making the automation and well worth it!!! Oh man how satisfying it is!!!
I really enjoyed this module! struggled to get the process run on the practice but eventually I managed through, as I had forgotten to include template file on the stage of “Use Excel of”
Recording UI Automation – I had to upgrade the package version in order for this activity to work correctly.
Using Object Repository - the library highlighted in the training has not been maintained and is no longer compatible with Windows.
Hi everyone. Okay. As someone else shared, I was not able to practice with the object repository but I get it, understand it. I will definitely keep this in mind for future use. The “Wait for Download” activity in the RPA Challenge was so confusing to me. I’m not sure if someone else posted this but the challenge would not work for me unless I already had the file in the folder and in the Use Excel File activity, I made sure to “create if not exists.” Once I did this everything else worked. And I agree with someone else’s post. This was not a “2 hour” module - well for me it wasn’t. All that to say… this, by far, is my favorite part of the curriculum! Cheers.
The course was easy to follow but i have some problems with the RPA Challenge. I want to use the recorder for the differents fields, but it doesn’t connect well with expected downloaded excel
This course is a great practice. I had hard time with using the recorder since the input fields are not correctly inputting in the desired target despite putting correct anchor. Despite this, I enjoyed the RPA challenge. The joy when you only looked to Robot Path, tried to build the automation and it worked. Really fun way to learn and explore.
All that to say… this, by far, is my favorite part of the curriculum! Cheers.
