Get Attribute action not working as expected

Avinash_BabuSul — Wed, 30 Oct 2019 15:04:00 GMT

Hello All,

I have been working web application to get work in Firefox V67.0.1 using BPV6.4.3a and but there is a point where i have to use 'Get Attribute' action for fetching path of the web element but it is returning empty string instead of path string I have given "Web Path" as input to get attribute action could you please advise?
anyway there is no direct 'getpath' action in BPV63.4.3a like BPV5.

Regards,
Avinash

Hi Avinash,

Have you checked to make sure you got the right attribute name as an input?
You can look into the HTML by clicking Inspect if you have any issues finding the attribute name .

If you're still running into issues after confirming the attribute name, then it is likely the Attribute either doesn't exist or it's empty in that element.

Thanks,

Hi Avinash,

The word attribute in "Get Attribute" does not refer to the attributes Blue Prism uses for element spying, rather it is the web attributes defined in HTML. For more details, please see the link from W3Schools

Path is not a common attribute found in HTML. To get the Path Blue Prism uses internally, please use action "Get Path" instead.
