Automation website using ReactJS framework with Browser mode

Hi everyone,

We are running into issues automating a website using browser mode. The target website is built using ReactJS framework. It seems that fields get updated on the front end, but once we click on 'next' to go to the next page, the fields turn blank again. Thus the backend does not get updated. So how do we work with browsermode on a website that is built on ReactJS.

As an altnerative we tried to use UIA mode. However, the issue that rises here (which we also noticed with other processes before) is that UIA mode does not work on a virutal machine when we use Remote Desktop Protocol as a connection mode. So we are able to develop the proces on our local machines, but if we try to build on a virutal machine the UIA mode does not recognize any seperate fields within a website. So the second question is, how do we work UIA on a virutal machine with RDP? 

Any thoughts on this? Thanks in advance.

Hi, Nanne,

well, you may need to use Global Send Key to write the values as some websites (usually written in javascript) don't work with Blue Prism Write stage. It is quite typical that you as a human see the values being written in the fields but the system says "no values written" or "mandatory fields are not filled". That is answer concerning the first question.

Second question is not completely clear as it seems you are mixing two things.
1. UIA mode works on your local machine. That is fine and should work.
2. all of the sudden you talk about RDP. If you launch web site in RDP and you access it outside of RDP for Blue Prism this is just a static "object" and the approach you need to use for automation is so called surface automation (at this moment). Blue Prism is planning to do some improvements but it is on the roadmap.

Regards,
