Using Take screenshot activity in UIPath studioX

Help StudioX
1

Hi, can anyone please guide me how to take a screenshot and paste it in excel sheet in studioX

2

The steps are:

  1. “Use Browser/Application” and point to the app/site you want to take the screenshot from
  2. Add the “Take Screenshot” activity and indicate the area for the screenshot. Select “Clipboard” as destination
  3. Use “Copy/Paste range” activity to paste in the Excel file: Source is “Clipboard”, destination is “Indicate in Excel” where you want to paste the screenshot

I don’t see “Take Screenshot” activity in the current version of StudioX (I have StudioX 2020.10.6). Is upgrading the only way to get this activity? It appears it is in the UIAutomation.Activities package, which requires an update, but not the UIAutomationNext.Activities package.

however, when I tested it in StudioX 2020.10.7, it’s throwing an error like in screenshot below.

I ran into the same error. I tried to copy a screenshot over to excel. I used StudioX 2020.10.6. @flavius can you advise if there’s any way to work around it? Thanks in advance!

Hey @lexiz and @ikoboo ,

Thank you @pikorpa For some reason, I wasn’t able to view the flow. Could you send screenshots if possible?

Och. It’s weird.
Maybe you will use ‘Manage packages’ and you will install missing dependencies.

Or maybe you will open project.json - not alone workflow file

@ikoboo @lexiz I don’t know if you have solved the problem.
I was in the same situation as you until I checked the package version and I was able to get the process to work perfectly after updating the package version.
