Pop-up workflow
Posted: Mon Feb 24, 2020 5:58 pm
Hello all,
I am looking for some suggestions/input on how to remedy a pop-up workflow/logic to incorporate into Robotask. I tried using the triggering event to have the pop-up closed (using the exact match function) however since the pop-up window generates the same name as the software application, it closed the program instead. I then tried using the window selection and seemed to work however now it's not recognizing that a window is present (and stopping further action until closed) until 10-20 steps later. I also tried incorporating longer delay/pauses thinking that maybe the window wasn't being recognized quick enough, but after moving the delay out to 20+ seconds I am still receiving the same issue. Once it finally recognizes the window, it will run a basic/separate error handling task to move the mouse to specified coordinates and click ok to close the prompt, and then continue running the main task. This pop-up that occurs does not happen every time, only when there are no items available in the action that is being performed. I have been trying to figure out how to have Robotask acknowledge the pop-up, stop where it's at on the task, close the pop-up, and then finally resume.
Looking forward to any ideas.
Thanks for reading!
