User Interface finds item in Ui Explorer not when runs in process

Help Studio

Hello All, TIA for the help!
I am creating a process that is supposed to extract information from a legal website. I am working on one of the pages that has multiple documents with the same icon to download the document. Essentially I want the process to click the download button, download the file to downloads and then I move the file to the correct folder.

The issue I am having is when I am in the UiExplorer to choose the selector, I am using variables for the row and the file name as the way to identify as well as anchors on the file name and Name, and Options, and while I can find it in UiExplorer, when I test the activity, it tells me there are multiples and it cannot identify it. Almost like it is not using the variables at all.

Example of the page (note the sensitive information has been redacted.)

I have tried anchors using name, Options, and the file name with no luck. I have tried just the row number, again, no luck. I cannot share the xml as this is sensitive info. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Hi @potchak

Is rowname equals the name of the file? And is the file name same in different rows?

Also could you please use tableCol attribute too in the selector?

Also I would suggest taking off the idx from the selector. Instead check if there are any other attributes for the selector like aaname, innertext etc

I think it would be better if you try to use the class and try to remove the idx from the selector

You’re trying to select one specific ?

@potchak

why are you using nav up 3 ..is it not working with 1 or 2? also generally the tables row number if it is unique then just add tablecol aswell and use it…

is the rownumber value 1?

is it a table with sequencial row numbers or a div inside a div which says the tablerow is 1 for everyrow?

We may need to take a closer look at the selector in this case

cheers

As it turns out, it was using the fuzzy selector, not the strict selector as I thought I was using. I haven’t developed in 2 years so I am just getting back into it, and didn’t realize that was even there! OMG. Thank you so much for all the assistance, once I changed that option in the properties it is working perfectly now. SMH… #embarrassed!
