Hi,

 

I was trying to understand what is wrong on the steps. It seems like it was already running Chrome but it will just fail on the last retry. Should i tweak my desktop flow to resolve this?

    Hi @powerdevkris 

     

    Are you trying to attach the existing chrome browser in the machine, If yes are you sure that chrome webpage is opened already ?

    That is my understanding on how it works. I have added a wait status on it. Does it mean maybe the website is not actually open when it was trying to attached to it? Though Chrome is open?

    Looking at the error, 

     

    I think website that you are trying to attach is not opened yet, Could you check that while running the flow

    else, I think you need to launch the webpage using launch chrome action

    The first launch chrome action on the steps is where it was opening the website using launch chrome action. Is there an action to check if the website is already open?

    Use this action

    this is to check whether a element exists or not ?

     

    Mark it as solution if this helps in resolving ur query

    Thank you. I will try that approach and see. Can the UI element field accept a variable?

    No, you cannot pass UI Element directly to a variable 

    But you can specify selector of UI Element in a variable and then can pass it to the UI Element selector

    I have an input variable that contains the website value. How can i pass this one on the UI elements? I was trying to edit the UI element but cannot seem to change the site.
