Hi Sunil,

I tried installing from the Chrome Web Store but to no avail—see the “Troubleshooting” section in my first comment.

To summarize “Troubleshooting,” here are the methods I tried to get this working based on the advice in this thread:

  1. Install the Chrome extension from UiPath
  2. Install the Chrome extension from Chrome Web Store
  3. Switch to UiPath beta, then install the Chrome extension

I rebooted frequently throughout, but nothing has worked so far.

Hi @loginerror,

This isn’t working for me with the latest beta. See my last two posts in this thread.

Is there anything else I can try?

Any update for Community Edition? We’re building POCs in Community Edition over a longer time frame than the trial. I’ve switched to Firefox for now.

Hi @eeskildsen

The latest 2019.4.2 Community Edition doesn’t have this issue anymore. Could you first re-download the installer for that version and give it a full reinstall? Also, because the workaround was for previous version, you might want to have a look at the general topic for troubleshooting Chrome issues:

There are some applications which are hungry for Focus and this focus was creating issues for us.
Whenever we were trying to browse an URL using Open browser activity, it was working fine for sometimes but for some of the times the connectivity between chrome and UiPath chrome extension was getting disconnected ( as some other application was getting the focus).

Hence we implemented the below points:

  1. Closing takes longer time - Verify the chrome and native host processes are closed before the Open Browser, or add delays after the Kill.
  2. Opening and generating the Window takes longer than expected - Use FindElement to make sure the window exists before executing functions targeting it
  3. Losing focus to other applications - Add a Send Hotkey Win+D before the open browser to ensure other focus greedy apps are minimized.
