Unable to access the IE application in the Edge

Hi Team,

I am struck in one issue, where we have a application which supports the IE only. Since UiPath did not supports the IE so we are unable to fetch the proper selectors and also unable to identify the each and every activity.

The movement when we are trying to access the application it is taking as a whole picture which cannot be identified the individual action items,

Do we change any settings in the edge for this issue.

Kindly help us in this situation.

Thanks

Hi

if you really want to use only IE, i think u try with multiple other options like below

  1. when u r trying to access element try with different selection mode like changing the framework
  • Change UI framework - You can change the technology used to determine the UI elements and their selectors. You can use either the drop-down menu or the F4 hotkey. The available framework types are:

    • Auto - Automatically chooses the framework that is considered to be the most suitable for the indicated element. This option is selected by default. Usually work fine with all types of user interfaces.
    • Active Accessibility - Uses the Active Accessibility framework, which is Windows specific. It is recommended to use this option with legacy software, when the default option does not work.
    • UI Automation - Uses the proprietary UiPath framework. It is recommended to use this option with newer applications, when the default option does not work.
  1. next option would be using HOT KEY activity where u can interact with a specific element using keyboard hot keys like tab, enter

  2. finally try upgrading the UIAutomation package and give a try again

Thanks for the quick Reply Palaniyappan,

I tried this and the UIFrame work also not able to identify the Selectors.

Can we do any changes in the Edge to identify the Selectors, because the application is opening in edge as IE mode.

NOTE: the same application is not able to open in the Chrome

if its EDGE then make sure you have installed the Edge extension
then you will be able to indicate each element

I am using the Edge only.

Actually, my issue is the application which I am using will support IE and since the IE is not available in UiPath, so I am trying to open that application in EDGE.

So that application is opening in edge but unable to take the selectors for the same.

For this do we need to change any settings in the egde to get the selectors.

Thanks
