Chrome Automation

[_Amlansahoo]

Hi Guys,

Is there any challenge if we will automate whole process using chrome.

BP Version:-6.4.2
Chrome Version-latest Update

Till now Bot is running fine in development , but wanted to know if any thing may appear in production or going forward.
I have to move to production in coming weeks.

Any comments will be appreciated.

Thanks in Advance!

What I observer till now, some options are not appearing in chrome as compare to IE, otherwise its much better and faster in Chrome 🙂

I'm not sure if you've looked into the other forum threads about Chrome automation. If you haven't, that will be worth a read. Just search on the forum for 'Chrome' and you'll find quite a few discussions about that in the past few months. Chrome automation can be very troublesome for several reasons. Chrome has automation-breaking updates on a regular basis (this has been a thing for a long time), so you'll want to ensure that Chrome does not auto-update. As you pointed out, at least currently there are fewer options available in Chrome automation from Blue Prism compared to IE (no Navigate URL last I check, for example) which makes the automations more brittle due to the way you have to interact with Chrome to get the functionality you want.

That said, I think it's good people are attempting and the developers at Blue Prism will be able to improve the tool more and more as time goes by and more organizations are using Chrome. Anyway, I encourage you to read through the previous threads on Chrome automation issues to see what kind of problems you might run into.

HI David,

Thanks for your reply 🙂
FYI I have gone through almost all the threads related to Chrome. The reason I put it here to know if any process is running in production for any one or not using chrome.
I know aslo it may break in the next update but according to blu prism it should support all versions of Chrome in 6.4.2 on wards, that's why thought of posting this.

Any way thanks for you reply.
