Microsoft Edge Browser: Error when launching pages in new instance

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by matmat 26

Hi! Since 22.10.23 we have the problem that the existing automations do not work.

 

Power Automate gives an error when starting a new instance of Microsoft Edge. No matter which page is to be called, the same error appears. We have renewed the extension for Edge - the error remains.

Do you also have this error?

    Try launching Edge via the Run application action and then using Launch new Microsoft Edge to attach to it. The flow should look somewhat like this:

    Agnius_0-1698303925143.png

     

    Note: I initially run Edge with the Google page to make it load faster and also make it easier to attach to the instance. This is a standard functionality I always use in every single flow.

    Also note: You will need to replace the value of the %URL% variable in the Set variable action to whatever you want to navigate to.

     

    Here's a snippet that you can copy and paste directly into your PAD flow designer to create all those actions:

    SET URL TO $'''www.someURL.com'''
System.RunApplication.RunApplication ApplicationPath: $'''msedge''' CommandLineArguments: $'''www.google.com''' WorkingDirectory: $'''%''%''' WindowStyle: System.ProcessWindowStyle.Maximized ProcessId=> AppProcessId
WAIT (UIAutomation.WaitForWindow.ToOpenByTitleClass Title: $'''Google*Microsoft​ Edge''' Class: $'''Chrome_WidgetWin_1''' FocusWindow: True) FOR 30
WebAutomation.LaunchEdge.AttachToEdgeByTitle TabTitle: $'''Google''' AttachTimeout: 5 BrowserInstance=> BrowserMain
 ON ERROR REPEAT 5 TIMES WAIT 3
 END
WebAutomation.GoToWebPage.GoToWebPageCloseDialog BrowserInstance: BrowserMain Url: URL

    Hi @matmat 

     

    I faced this issue before, what I tried are below

     

    1) check in the extention if there is any legacy addon, If so remove

    2) removing the addon again and try installing again freshly

    3) Also check is the Edge is up to date

    Hi,
    Unfortunately, no.

    The old extension (up to V 2.27) is deactivated and uninstalled. Several installations and uninstallations did not solve the problem.
    The browser opens, but after 60 sec. timeout the error message appears.

    The extension is up to date, browser is up to date and PA Desktop is up to date.


    Computer restarted several times, cookies & co deleted. 😕

    Hi together,

     

    @Agnius: Your method opens the window, thanks. Since my automation has over 80 steps and various windows need to be opened, I'll submit the ticket.

     

    Thank you for the help

    Thanks for sharing. Would be great if you shared more details for an estimated time of a solution, when you have that. I guess they'll update you.

    The answer came quickly - a time estimate is not possible at the moment.
