Date Picker is not working

_Amlansahoo — Thu, 23 Jun 2022 08:11:00 GMT

Hi Team,

Anyone has idea how to select a date from the Date picker where the Date can only be selected through the Date picker. There is no option to write Date as a text Field.
I am using Blue Prism Version 6.10.4.
I doubt Blue prism has ever implemented the same. It's not at all possible to select Date from a date picker using browser mode. I have not checked AA or UIA mode but it should work with Browser mode I guess.
Please find below website where you can perform the test.

Hi Amlan.

For the date field, lets say if you want to choose the 25th June, 2022 date then you can use an XPath expression as: //li[@data-date='2022-06-25']

I think here the issue is specifically with Click action that actually I have been seeing in many websites nowadays while automating in Browser mode since if you select Global Hover option you will be able to see that the mouse cursor goes over that specific date field which means that the element is able to get identified

However, click/press/select options itself are not working and this I believe is a major bug with Browser mode as of now. Same issue I found while automating another website for Spice Jet

@John Carter @Bruce Liu - Are you aware of any such bugs and is it there under any bug fixes plan for upcoming versions as many times UIA/AA mode might not be suitable considering the speed and performance for some of these automations. Ideally, with browser mode we should be able to click on elements if that is getting identified properly.
