Automate and Edge vs Edge for Business

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 11

I recently created an automation looking for a certain value on a web page.  Everything worked well until I tried to do a "clean" run through from the start.

 

To make a long story short, I discovered that if the flow was started without a browser running, it always started it with Edge for Business.  When that happened, the flow failed for no apparent reason.  When I had Edge open before starting the flow, it used Edge instead and the flow worked fine.

 

Has anyone else observed this behavior?  Does anyone know how to control whether Edge or Edge for Business is used?  The work around is to open Edge first, but I would rather it truly be automated.

 

Thanks.

    Hi @evgiles 

     

    One way would be disable edge browser for business and try the flow running again.

     

    Else

     

    Automate the way you opened the edge browser manually and then attach the browser instance using Launch browser action. I think for opening the browser you can try the command prompt as well.
