Attach issues in scheduler/control room for MS Edge

JohanSörman — Mon, 28 Feb 2022 18:57:00 GMT

Hello all,

I have a process running with MS Edge and while running it in debug everything works as expected but every time I ran it via Control Room or Scheduler I keep getting attach errors.

At my company we're running BP 6.10.3 and have the browser extension.

Anyone experienced this and have a solution or ideas how to improve it?
I have tried to add --force-renderer-accessibility but it doesn't seem to done anything major to fix the errors.

My attach page:
I have tried using only window titles but in my experience process id generally more stable.

Hi @Johan Sörman

Are you executing the process in the same machine? Or you debug in one and execute the process in a separate Digital Worker?

If yes, the browser have the same version in both machines? Is the browser extension installed and executing will trying to attach?

One simple consideration, put a little wait stage between try and try in the Attach part of the end. Just to wait. When we debug a process we take several seconds between step and step. It's best practice to include a wait stage following every interaction with the application.

See you in the community, bye 🙂

Hello @PabloSarabia ,

I realized the screenshot was from an version this morning. I got same suggestion from a co-worker in a different RPA team but given a wait/sleep doesn't do much.

I'm running debug and schedule on same machine.
Right now it's working somewhat decent but it's using a wildcard for window title, process and child index. I'll see how long it lasts but not really trusting edge and BP after months of issues similar to this.

Hi @Johan Sörman

Just to check, how are you attaching the browser? (input parameters in the navigation stage)

Did you see how the browser is launched?

Bye :))
