End loop after last table row reached

Posted on by lkhall_37203

Have everything working in my PAD process with the exception of determining how to set the end value of my loop action in PAD. I am using a "Get Details of element on web page" to get a certain value in a table row from the UI. I am using a loop to pass the loop counter value to the span element in my UI element. But the number of rows will always be dynamic and when the loop encounters the end of the rows it throws an error "Failed to retrieve attribute of UI element on web page". Wanted to get some input on best way to handle this or get the row count to pass as a variable to the loop.

Use the If web page contains and check if the element does not exist. If it does not, use Exit loop to stop looping.

Thank you for the suggestion but I think I am missing where to put the Exit Loop. Did as you suggested and put a "If web page contains" inside my loop" and restricted my result set to 50 records. and it checks just fine but when I get to record 51 it still runs the outside loop which I get so how would I tell the outer loop to "exit"

You could have set your If web page contains action to check for the web page to not contain the element. And then simply have the Exit loop inside the condition.
