Problem spying and attaching multiple Edge Windows

[MarcoMatuttis1]

I got a process in which I have a problem with 2 edge windows. When I try to attach to one of the windows and want to perform a simple action like clicking something or read/write something the "wait for process window" action which is at the start of my "attach" page can not find the process window unless I manually help the bot and click it first.

This is how my attach looks like:

It's basically the same for all the applications I use.

The wait for process action looks like this:

I use Blueprism 6.10.1 and in both edge windows I have 6.10.1 Browser extension running. In the blue prism settings I selected: But I also tried it without it and it did not work either.

Hi M,

Without having tested it, I would assume this might be easier if you had one Edge with tow tabs each running a page. 

Alternatively I'd guess you'd have to get a list of all Windows processes, select the Edge processes (msedge) from it, and try and determine the one you're out after to connect to. The determination which to pick might prove to be the hard part.

Unfortunately I can not do this since one the applications is started in a "special" way.

The application that I hava mentioned above is started by a different program and I just attach to the already running browser. This application is a simple website.

The other application that's running in the other edge window is started in a different way and does not have the usual Edge Window. 

It will be started with the following command

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe --app="http://xxx.yyyyy.zzz/eClient/exe/eb.exe?p=switch&MaskName=sw_start&switch=0"

The edge application window does not have any tabs or the usual edge look anymore.

All the actions I made work perfectly fine when I just test the applications individually. But as soon as I have both windows open Blue Prism is not able to find the right edge window. (unless I manually interfere and click the right window)

Do you have a different suggestion ?

It looks rather unusual indeed. But perhaps this:

...can contribute?

Or is it perhaps possible to launch the webapp first so it is still in view and in focus for BP to attach to?

What does it look in the windows Task Manager?
