Use browser activity flat out doesn't work anymore

When I run this simple flow the robot just opens 6 browser windows and throws this error. It never does anything in the “Do” part of the actrivity. I’m at my wits end none of my workflows work anymore.

The firefox and the UiPath extension is freshly reinstalled and it doesn’t report to have any issues.

I have to use firefox for my workflows so there is no other browser options

Hi @Emyh,

Did you try to update the selector of “Use Browser” activity ?
Try this selector in Use Browser activity :

Regards

@Emyh

Welcome to the community

just use www. in you url that should fix

or go to selector and use only app attribute as this is the only chrome window

cheers

I tried, did not change anything :confused:

The selector is validated as well

@Emyh,

Try deleting existing use application/browser activity and add new one and indicate the browser again.

This also did not do anything. It opens the browser just fine, it just doesn’t do anything within it. Except from starting opening 5 more windows

I did. But the issue is consistent. None of my other previously working workflows are working anymore

@Emyh

To check can you please try to downgrade the ui automation activities and check please

cheers

@Emyh, ohh ok. Let’s isolate the issue. Can you try creating a sample project and try to recreate the issue.

Creating a new project with exactly the same workflow works, but going back to the original workflow(s) still doesnt work

Hi @Emyh ,
in original workflows update selector to :

<html app='firefox.exe' title='NRK.no*' />

*also I recommend using a chromium browsers (such as Chrome or Edge), as they are more stable :slight_smile:

Hope this be helpful

For anyone in the future who might have same or similar issue.

For me the solution was that some dependencies were not completely up to date.

I had not been prompted or warned that there might be newer versions of packages available. and obviously the error messages gave no inclination of that being the issue.
