Wait for Window content action - default wait time

Posted on by Charan_R 6

Hi All,

 

 I use "Wait for Window Content" action in  my flow by default fail with time out error is turned off.

But when I turned on and updated 30 seconds. Below are my observation

-  While running the bot it wait for more than 30 seconds. (Without any errors).

- If I turned on All Error option, selected continue on error, if waits more than one minute.

- If I turned on advanced error, selected continue on error, if waits more than a two minute.

 

I am not sure this understanding is right, Hence help me to understand how exactly wait for window content works.

    @Charan_R  Hi can you check and confirm if the Retry Policy for this action is set to None or not.  Based on your observations it seems Retry policy must have set.
