PAD flow gives unexpected error when I run it from console

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hi.

 

I have made a desktop flow for web automation and used "Input variables" to store email and password in it.  Whenever I run the flow in edit mode, it works perfect. But when I run it from console, it gives error regarding UI elements although no such error exists. 

 

I tried deleting the Input variables from flow and used "Set Variable" action instead, after that it runs fine from console. I am unable to figure out what's the reason behind this issue.

I have the same question (0)

    Hello @Anonymous,

     

    We have the same problem.

    Please refer below thread and you will find that Microsoft is currently working to fix this issue in their next release (maybe).
