PAutomate Desktop - Selectors breaking

Hi All,

 

I am wondering if anyone else is experiencing this issue.

 

We have had bots running fine and then all of a sudden it stops finding UI elements in the app or web elements on pages.

 

The fix we find work is to recreate all the entire actions on the failing elements - note that just creating new UI selectors didn't work, only recreating the while action.

 

Then it works again, has anyone experienced this before and got any tips on best practices to resolve this issue or stop it from happening in the future?

    Hi @Tom-FutureAbili 

     

    So you are trying to say that same ui element but recreated actions is making it work again ?

     

    right ?
