There was an Error During Spying Operation - Edge

I am developing my first Edge automation. Blue Prism extension is already enabled. 

I am trying to attach to attach to already launched website. When I click on Attach on Application Modeller, instead of attaching, it will launch the website again. Then when I click on Identify button, error appears as "There was an error during spying operation". When I try to close the UI and attach again, it will again launch a new website, for a second Identify button will appear and it will switch back to attach again.

close all application , reset the object , open application modeller and see if its showing launch or attach, if its showing launch then it means that you have setup the application modeller to launch the browser

while setting up the application modeller you have to select "A browser which is already running"

I did as you have said. Application Modeller shows as Attach. I then opened the website manually. Once its completely loaded, I clicked Attach button on Application Modeller. It again went ahead and launched the website though it was already opened. Once the website launched by Application Modeller is opened, Identify button changed back to attach within a second and its keep repeating whenever I attempt to attach back.

can you please share the application modeller screenshot (same like attached screenshot), probably what i am thinking is its not identify the target application.

Yes, I have selected a Browser which is already running option

actual issue here is , you have entered e-Referral Service as title of target application and also you have specified the internet explore exe path , 

its not identifying that window title , and due to that its launching the browser , you have to remove the path from browser textbox , and try to attach if identify it will attach else it will give you the error.

when you are launching browser manually , that time what is the title of that page , and entered that title in application and test it

Oh my god such a silly mistake. I removed the executable path and try to attach and now it seems literally trying to attach to the website. However, its not identifying the window title.
