I am trying to click a button “SUBMIT” on a webpage but keep getting the selector not found error. I tried changing the dynamic parent id to “*” wildcard but still wont validate.
Please help.

I tried copying the selectors for same click box and this is the result i get
Try #1
html app=‘chrome.exe’ title=‘LIOS’ />
webctrl aaname=‘SUBMIT’ parentid=‘ui-panel-1-content’ tag=‘SPAN’ />

Try#2
html app=‘chrome.exe’ title=‘LIOS’ />
webctrl aaname=‘SUBMIT’ parentid=‘ui-panel-1-content’ tag=‘BUTTON’ />

Try #3
html app=‘chrome.exe’ title=‘LIOS’ />
webctrl aaname=‘SUBMIT’ parentid=‘ui-panel-3-content’ tag=‘SPAN’ />

Try #4
html app=‘chrome.exe’ title=‘LIOS’ />
webctrl aaname=‘SUBMIT’ parentid=‘ui-panel-3-content’ tag=‘SPAN’ />

try #5
html app=‘chrome.exe’ title=‘LIOS’ />
webctrl aaname=‘SUBMIT’ parentid=‘ui-panel-1-content’ tag=‘SPAN’ />

@Jeff_Varghese, Hi and welcome to the community

Try this:
<html app=‘chrome.exe’ title=‘LIOS’ />
<webctrl aaname=‘SUBMIT’ parentid=‘ui-panel-*-content’ tag=‘SPAN’ />

If it doesn’t work, please try the click image activity.

Thank you for the reply.

I tried both your suggestions before posting. adding “*” in Ui explorer gives me a validation error. and click image activity doesnt work either

Hy @Jeff_Varghese,

I suggest you try the selector option retry, it may take a couple of times, depending on the selector, let uipath itself solve this one

@Jeff_Varghese, does manually pressing enter on the system work?

If so then you can send hotkey + enter, to continue.

This is an alternative solution if the selector method does not work. If the solution of SenzoD is not working, try sending hotkey “tab” on the last text field and press enter.

Can you post the Ui Explorer screen when the button is targeted? That would give us a better view how the selector can be constructed.
