UI element error in prod

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 6

Hi ,

 

I am having small issue in my power automate desktop flow.

Whenever I am creating and testing the flow it is working properly.

When I am trying run the flow next day or after some times it is not running because of UI element error.

 

If anybody came across same kind of issue before, your input will be really helpful to solve the same.

    Hi,

    Check the selector of that ui element and also selector of it's Parent that it falls under: Please find below image for your reference: Elements highlighted in red is Parent and yellow one are children. We usually test selector of child but do not focus on Parent element which is outer container of child element and in some cases, it keeps on changing and causes child to fail.

    It might be that the target UI is dynamic and changes with each user session. If that is the case, you may need to modify the selectors for the elements to be dynamic, too, and not include parameters that change frequently.

     

    To do this, you will likely need to capture a few instances of the same element, to see what exactly in their selector changes, and then modify the selector in a way that the dynamic part is not used.

     

    It would be easier to describe this, if you could tell us what it is exactly that you're trying to automate.
