URL not captured while indicating browser in UiPath Studio

Description

Hi Team,

I am facing an issue while using the Use Application/Browser activity in UiPath Studio.

Environment:

  • UiPath Studio Version: 26.0.186
  • OS: Windows 10
  • Browser: Microsoft Edge
  • UiPath.UIAutomation.Activities: Latest version

Problem Description:
When I try to indicate the browser application using the “Use Application/Browser” activity, the URL is not automatically captured. The browser window is detected but the selector does not include the URL.

Logs Observed:
While checking the Studio logs located at %LocalAppData%\UiPath\Logs, I noticed several errors such as:

  • FileNotFoundException for GlobalVariables DLL
  • Missing assemblies like Google.Apis.Sheets.v4
  • Missing UiPath.CVLocalServer assemblies

Example error from logs:
System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not find file GlobalVariablesT1PNoYwrqg.dll

Troubleshooting Done:

  • Restarted UiPath Studio
  • Checked Event Viewer logs
  • Verified browser extensions
  • Attempted restoring dependencies

Expected Behavior:
The browser URL should be captured automatically when indicating the application.

Actual Behavior:
The URL is not captured and selectors are incomplete.

Could someone please help identify the cause or suggest a fix?

Thanks in advance.

@ANGADI_YAMUNA Based on your logs, my first suspicion would be: the project is not resolving dependencies correctly, so Studio cannot fully build/load the targeting context. Please follow below step:

  1. test in a new blank project
  2. clear cache / restore dependencies
  3. reinstall UIAutomation package
  4. repair Studio if issue still exists

Hello @ANGADI_YAMUNA,

To get more context, could you please try downgrading the UI automation activities? Please try using the latest stable activities rather than the preview ones.

Thanks,
Karthik
