Oracle Application(Java) Menu closed before send click

[SergeiEvdokimov]

Hello everybody!

When working with the application, I want to select the File-Export sub-menu. To do this, I click on the File menu item, then I want to click on the Export sub-item. But the menu closes immediately after the Navigation is executed by clicking the File. At the same time, everything is fine in the user interface, after clicking on the File menu, the application is waiting.

Perhaps someone has come across a similar one?

It's simply ALT, F, E on keyboard, no holding. Although I dont like sendkeys, because that needs focus.

So I tested normal way...
Spied: "File"(Role:"menu"; Name:"File ALT F", nothing else needed, but can keep Ordinal enabled too) and "Export"(Role:"menu item"; Name:"Export mnemonic E") separately in java mode, then just did one Navigate with two steps - File and Export, both Global mouse click center and delay 1 between them and it works fine for me.

Good morning gentlemen! 🙂

Found a third solution.
The menu item has an attribute "Allowed Actions" = "Click".
So I used the "Do" action and passed the text - "Click". Without opening the File menu first. For this, I identified the item using the "Open Application Navigator".
It worked too.

PS I will test your advice a little later, thanks to Andrey and Michael for these advice.

PSS  But in general, a tool for recording user actions in Blue Prism would be very helpful.

Great news Sergei and good solution to your problem. I'll need to keep that in mind for the next time I'm working on a Java application.
