Browser Mode for MS Edge not working on Blue Prism 6.9

StevenP_ — Mon, 11 Jan 2021 22:32:00 GMT

Hi,

I'm trying to spy elements on a webpage on Microsoft Edge with Blue Prism 6.9, but it looks like the browser spy mode is not detecting any elements. Has anyone encountered this issue yet? If so, how did you get Browser mode to work? I've installed all the required extensions as well.

I had the exactly same problem. Lots of googling and I ended up to the Blue Prisms web-pages. I found out that this is a known issue (BP-1408) in BP v6.9.

After selecting "Use fixed browser extension port (31924) only" from Blue Prism (System --> Settings --> Browser Extension Connectivity --> Use fixed browser extension port (31924) only) spying with browser mode started to work as expected.

Hi

I am having the same problem.

I read the "Known issues" documentation, and I have found this one:
I think this might be the issue you are referring to.

Perhaps you can try the "workaround" mentioned up there in the "Issue" section by starting Edge again a second time via the "Launch" button in Aplication Modeller.

I will try this myself today to see if I can make it work. A second question, then, is if the spying made this way will be reliable in Production.

Hi,

You need to uncheck the "Use fixed browser extension port (31924) only" under the system tab in Blue prism.
Once unchecked, restart your machine and try to spy elements using Browser mode.

Also, two thing to keep in mind:

Browser mode will only work in 6.9 if you launch the application from the object. If the application is already launched, and you then attach to it, the browser mode will not work.t
If the application is opening in IE mode, the Browser mode will not work. Check for IE mode in the Left side of the Address Mode.
