Error coming while trying to spy Calculator element

[ShaivyaKaushik]

There was an error during the spying operation.

System.InvalidOperationException: External AppMan reader thread exited before response from query at BluePrism.AMI.clsAMI.Spy(clsElementTypeInfo& elementType, List`1& identifiers) at AutomateUI.frmIntegrationAssistant.HandleSpyOrLaunchClick(Object sender, EventArgs e)

Please suggest

HI @ShaivyaKaushik,

Which spying mode you are using for spying calculator application?
I am assuming that you are talking about inbuilt Calculator (windows based) application.​

Yes Ritansh.  When I am trying to inspect or spy button 1 in the calculator, attributes are not coming and unable to identify it.  Please look at the sceenshot and help me to come out

Hi @ShaivyaKaushik,

​This is a known issue that Blue prism doesn't work with Calculator application in Windows 10. But still there is a workaround for it. You can create an action to attach to the launched "Calculator" application. PFB the snippet for the same:




Post running the attach action, you will be able to spy the remaining elements of calculator. Hope it helps.
