Morning everyone. I am busy with the Consolidation Exercise of the course. I have a problem with spying some elements. I do highlight the element it is fine but once I run the process I get the error message the states no element matched with the query item. Any advice?

Hi @HannesB55 - When you spy an element - make sure you un-check any parent attributes such as parent URL, Any blank attributes, and lastly all the unstable attributes which are prone to change such as HTML Path(if its dynamic), class name etc and select only attributes which are stable - see below example -

You need to play around with the attributes to find out the most stable attributes which would highlight your element all the time.
