Best way to Close EDGE tabs

CarlosGomez1 — Mon, 04 Mar 2024 10:58:00 GMT

Hi Experts,

I converted my Bots from IE to Edge, but I'm having problems because the process sometimes loses the map of the fields to close the EDGE tab. so I have to spy the active tab again...

that's not difficult, it's just that where I work, you have to do documentation, justify the change and submit a ticket to promote the change to production and that takes time.

Could some of you guide me on the best way to close the active tab using EDGE?

My Blueprism version is 7.1.

You can spy the close button using the tab name as a dynamic parameter, something like this (UIA works too):

And you can activate an AA tab using the 'default' action:

And for UIA it's the Select Item action

Dear Carlos Gomez,

You can activate the specific tab and send the GSK with "^w" (ctrl+w).

This will give you exact results for closing the tabs in Edge application.

Thank for your early response.

Yes i use it (see image below), the issue is due the I use a focus first and it generate an error due it loses the map/spied field frequently (I spied the tab with the X) and i have to Re-Spy the tab again.

Dear Carlos,

If your Browser tab already visible Infront of you then you don't need to spy, you can just activate the application and use Global Mouse Send keys (Preferred).

I could see that your using Global send key events.

Good Afternoon Carlos,

What are the key considerations when working with Modern Browsers in BP 7.X?

I have linked a Blue Prism article above that could be helpeful, it covers many topics on best practices when working with modern browsers. In there there is a section of when to use terminate vs kill and what the difference is.

I hope this helps as well.

Dear Carlos,

Drag and Drop the Application Modeler Root name or Target Application name (While creating the application modeler you will be giving the name) on to the Navigation stage and select the Activate Application. After that use the Global Send Keys.
