    Hi @H_Inagaki 

     

    could you explain your query better , did not get your point

    Thanks for the reply.
    Subsequent investigation revealed that the phenomenon was misidentified.
    In fact, it was due to the "Wait for web page content" taking a long time to execute.
    However, this is a new phenomenon that occurred after updating to the latest PDA.
    If there is a way to resolve this phenomenon, please let me know.

    Still not quite sure what the problem is here. Is it that 'Wait for web page content' takes too long? Can you provide more context as to why you think it takes too long?

    You are right.
    The problem is that "wait for web page content" takes too long to execute.
    The possible cause of this is that you have upgraded your PAD version (2.26 -> 2.33). In addition, the chrome extension has been reinstalled with 2.27 or later.
    In addition, there is no change in the target website.

    What do you mean it takes too long to execute? The content is there on the web page, but the flow does not continue right away when the content appears? 

    Can you share what it is exactly that you set the action to wait for?

    This phenomenon seems to occur when the following settings are used.

    Argument:Wait for web page to

    Accepts:Contain text

     

    The time required for the first time was less than 1 second, but now it is from 30 seconds to 1 minute.

    This is to confirm the completion of the screen transition by confirming the display of text on the web page.

    Does the page actually load and then the flow still does not proceed? It may also depend on the network speed causing the page to not load right away.

    The page loads fast (100ms).
    Then "wait for web page content" is executed, but it takes more than 30 seconds.
    Note that I turned off the timeout setting, so the flow continues.

    It seems that it used to read the page from the top and make a decision each time, but now it seems to read the entire page before making a decision. (This is unsubstantiated speculation.)

    You should not disable the timeout, as disabling it could potentially lead to the flow waiting infinitely for the content to appear, even if the page doesn't load at all or throws an error. Instead, enable the timeout, but set the On error rules of the Wait for web page content action to continue the flow when it times out.

     

    Have you modified the selector for the element that the action waits for in any way? Perhaps made it shorter to only include the element and its name? Normally, if the selector is longer and includes more parent elements of the overall page structure, the flow usually finds it quicker.
