Hello i am currently working with BP 7.0.1

Open a browser (Edge)
Connecte to a specifique web site
Click on a button

And i am also using a VM as a ressource (using windows remote access) and finnaly schedule this task for every day
My issue is the following : every time i am closing the windows remote access the process start's normally but can't click on the button

Do you have any idea why ?

Hi EE,
The title indicates a problem spying the element, in your case the button. If you cannot spy it, the process will not be able to click it, so we'll start there.

Are you able to spy the button?
If no: make sure to use a spy-mode that works for Edge and re-spy until the button can be identified. Then save the object.
If yes: step through your process and step into your object that clicks the button to see why the button is not clicked. The object could throw an exception pointing out where to look further.

Notes on spying:
When spying any element:

Unclick all elements that have an empty matching value
Avoid html paths, or at least check that they are not dynamic or point to non-production servers/sites

Happy coding!

Hi paul thank you for your quick answer
I mistaken the title
I am able to spy the element (Button) but when using schdule with VM the element that i have to click doesn't work
I saw a post (https://community.blueprism.com/communities/community-home/digestviewer/viewthread?GroupId=97&MID=2640&CommunityKey=3b501789-976c-4cfa-b9db-88307c6a0a86&tab=digestviewer&ReturnUrl=%2Fcommunities%2Fcommunity-home%2Fdigestviewer%3FListKey%3D82cdcf8d-bf74-40f4-af5c-7b4be092ec1b) is it possible that it is impossible to execute click on web pages in VM when the VM is'nt conneted to a screen ?

Thank you for your time and energy
