Hello everyone,
I’ve been successfully running a personal automation in the Community Edition in attended mode without any hiccups. Recently, I attempted to transition this to an unattended robot. Everything operates smoothly until the bot encounters an issue identifying a UI element in the Edge Browser.
To give a brief overview:
- The robot runs an Excel file.
- It navigates to a specific webpage.
- Finally, it tries to interact with a UI element that appears after clicking a button and then it fails.
I’ve employed a fuzzy selector for targeting, and have experimented with both the Chromium API and the ‘simulate’ option in attempts to rectify the problem, but to no avail. I’ve double-checked and set the screen resolution to ensure that isn’t causing the problem.
Additionally, I observed that the recording feature is non-functional when the screen is locked. However, it works perfectly when the process is initiated from Orchestrator with the screen unlocked.
Does anyone have suggestions or insights into this? Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you in advance!
Could not find the user-interface (UI) element for this action.
Possible solutions:
• Ensure application is opened and the UI element is visible on the screen at execution time
• Edit the Target of the UI activity and use Validation to debug the issue.
• If needed, re-indicate the element as its properties might have changed
• Use “Check state” activity to check the application state before executing the action
• Increase the “Delay before” value to allow time to the application to render entirely and become responsive
