  • 1.  Triying to click in a web page button

    Posted Wed November 10, 2021 06:49 PM
    The robot that I have created opens the browser and accesses the Facebook page, enters the account data and manages to access, but when it tries to click on the button it fails and this is the error it shows.
    I run the command from the Screen Recorder of RPA Studio, this is the command I try to execute:

    click --selector "Name" --controlsimilarity 100 --name "Photo/video"


    Thanks for your help

    Hi Alex,

    If you are automating a web page, perhaps you should be using Webclick command rather than the click command?
    The click command is for automating standalone apps written in Java etc, the webclick is for automating  web applications:

    Webclick command

    Click command

    Hello Alex,

    If you want to use the desktop "Click" rather than the "WebClick" as Nigel mentioned, you should enable the "Update screen cache" option, but beforehand you should Find and Attach the window that you'd like to work with, because the desktop commands require that. I've discovered that by enabling that option the commands do find the elements on the webpage.

    Regards,
