Hello, peeps!
I'm working on automating Oracle EBS (Java-based desktop application). I find that PAD's built-in UI Automation actions work well with Java UI elements except for the combo box.
When extracting the "Own Text" (aka, value) of a combo box (aka, dropdown field), PAD fails. Specifically, when I use Get details of the UI element in window action, I get the following error message.
Share
ReportSubflow: Subflow_6, Action: 2, Action name: Get details of the UI element in window
Extraction failed (failed to extract)
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.: Microsoft.Flow.RPA.Desktop.Modules.SDK.ActionException: Extraction failed (failed to extract) ---> System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
It looks like from the message that the object (UI element) doesn't exist. However, I can actually click the same exact element with the Click UI element in window action to show the dropdown list (options).
Has anyone experienced the same error?
Or better yet, has anyone successfully extracted the current value of a Java combo box, and can share the solution?
Many thanks!
Try Extract text with OCR, see if it helps.
Thanks
