Hi,
Have had a problem within Object Studio. Attach stage successfulyl attaches but also throws an exception, how can this be possible?
I have a BOT that attempts to interact with an application, before any action is taken, first the robot will Attach to the window.
The attach page works by getting the current connection state, if unattached, will attempt to attach, if attach is unsuccessful will attempt up to 3 times before throwing an exception.
In studio, works 100% of the time, when run from control room works 99.99% of the time. Apparently randomly, the Attach navigation stage will throw an exception but also successfully attach (???), so when the page circles around and attempts to Attach again it will thorw an exception as it is already attached.
The Bot was not attached beforehand, because if it were it would have sidestepped the attach.
Hot fix was to check if attached before attempting to attach again (hindsight makes this very obvious), however, why would an Attach navigation which works in the process literally 0.1 seconds earlier and up to a few thousand times in this session suddenly throw an exception but also successfully attach?
Some notes:
This does not happen is the studio, only happens when process was run from control room after ~3-4 minutes usually.
Likewise, if I remoted into the session, and then run from control room, the error does not occur (successfully ran in a remote desktop window for > 3 hours).
