Why does Run From This Activity starts a new browser instead of continuing where last errored out?

Help Studio
1

Hi. I used to be able to Run From This Activity to continue with test with the same browser where last stopped. Now, it starts a new browser and UiPath not clicking the desired button for example because the condition is not the same as where it last stopped? (not truly ‘run from this activity’)

Any input is appreciated.

Thanks,
Tien

Hello @fernando_zuluaga
What is modern activities? How do I determine that? I don’t think I am but most likely so how do i actually set the ‘open’ properties to Never?
Thanks,
Tien

@tile2 Please follow the below steps

  • Click on Use Application/Browser activity
  • Then in the properties (right side) you can see Open . Click on that drop down and choose if not open
  • There you can also see another property called close . Click on the drop down and select Never

thank you so much for that clarification, @ushu
I tried it and still an issue. Looks like the correct thing to do, but didn’t help. Tried a whole bunch of things too including shutting down the app and restarting and rerunning w/o any improvement.

Thanks, Ushu.

Wish I can help @keerthi.priyanka
My notes shows I got no closure. My team and I are now avoiding all button clicks scenarios and using APIs to produce our test data such as opportunity creation and updating using the Salesforce Data Loader and/or Connected App for the Salesforce Application Scope activity from UiPathTeam.Salesforce.Lightning_Platform.Activities nuget package.

Good luck!
