There was an Error During Spying Operation - Edge

[shashi.muthukuda]

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.

Its Browser-based application (Chrome, Firefox or Edge Chromium)

and the website I have opened manually is on MS Edge

i created the new object and its working fine for me, can you please try creating new object ,

what i am thinking is , initially you might have selected Internet Explorer because when its did not identify the target window that time you got IE related pop up error, for me i am getting different error if its not identifying the window.

my suggestion is , try creating all new object with all correct steps.

i entered incorrect window title and tested and i got this error message

Try using an Attach (Navigate) stage instead. Application Modeller does some weird things that were obviously implemented as a means of doing demos, such as that it'll launch the app if it can't find it already which has never made sense for anything but a demo.

When you use the Attach stage, you can provide the process name "msedge" and also the window title.

It is also always helpful to mention what version of Blue Prism you're on as this can make a difference. And if you have never automated Edge or Chrome before, there are some significant differences such as the ability to use XPath expressions and CSS Selectors, depending on what version of BP you're on so it will be worth your doing some training on that to make your transition to Edge easier.
