PAD not recognising it has clicked a button

ReportReport
Posted on by 124

Im trying to extract a report from a website, the report is created daily and unfortunately the reports dont auto delete but just build up into a list.  In order to select the current days report I thought that once I download the report for that day, I will delete it from the website, so that that each day there is only 1 report to download!  Unfortunately I cannot get PAD to recognise that it has clicked the delete button - when the delete button is clicked a popup appears asking you to confirm the deletion.  What happens so far is that it downloads the report, clicks the delete button (which then pops up a window asking you to confirm) but at that point PAD just freezes and eventually comes up with an error 'click link on web page failed'.  I've tried selecting the button multiple times I've also tried using UI rather than browser automation.  The problem with that option is that it always seems to click the wrong button for some reason....  I select the delete button but when I run the workflow it clicks the download button.  I think this might be because it needs to scroll the browser window to see the delete button but Im not sure.

Anyone got any ideas that I can try to solve this issue?

    Just waiting to try again but I found the option for waiting on the webpage to load and that seemed to make a difference....

    There is an Advanced section in your action, where you can turn of the page load wait. That should fix the problem.

    This seems to solve the problem only partially. The Pop-Up window needs also to be handled. Often it can be solved by using send key action.
