I want to attach to an already running Chrome. This instance has the BP 7.1.2.3518 extension installed.
After a reboot of the server the attach to Chrome works immediately (I do these steps in the studio - but the same when run through control room). When the process finish I wait 5 minutes.
Now I process the exact same steps. At the Attach action BP fails (after the timeout is reached)
The Attach is done with WindowTitle set to "*order*" (order is in the title of the open browser) and the ChildIndex set to 0. In this case this is the output of BP:
When I change the value of WindowTitle to "*hello*" (hello is NOT in the title of the open browser) then the Attach behaves normal. Immediately it tells that such a browser window is not available - which is what I expect.
This leads to the following conclusion:
1. If Attach finds no appropriate browser it behaves correct
2. If Attach finds an appropriate browser it tries to connect ... and there it fails 😞
Please help.

A workaround for this scenario is to launch the application using "Start Process" action of Utility- Genral, then use "Sleep" action and at last try attaching.

Of course I have a sleep retry (3 three times) around the attach. This does not help 😞

Hello Thomas,
Are you facing this same issue in all machines?

@SahilChankotra good point. We have two machines
1 is a Windows Server 2016 Datacenter machine
2 is a Windows 10 Pro machine
On machine 1 it fails
On machine 2 it works
Riddle gets more complicated 😞
