[bug] Sporadic If statements and executeScript_Sandbox Skipped Execution

UI.Vision RPA Bug Reports
1

I have been using vision UI to monitor a webpage for an extended period of time with a series of API calls using python. After some amount of time, the macros seem to skip steps and generally are If statements and executeScript_Sandbox steps. It is like the marco loads but the execution fails at the step and then it executes the next step even if it the outcome of a skipped if statement. I have tried both chrome and firefox browsers but with the same result (chrome may be better). Additionally there is a case with firefox where the Xmove command gets stuck and the marco did not timeout after 120 seconds, rather I had to manually the next morning and it ran for 52692 seconds. As a result of this hanging, all the other macro calls timed out like normal and my script terminated.

I have attached a print out of the log file and the macros I am using. The logs show that the all the steps executed and there are cases where steps are completely missed or missed for a while and then pop up later. Normal and adnormal execution logs are included. I am running on ubuntu 18.04 with the latest chrome and firefox browers.

Does your monitoring script restart the browser every few hours to free memory? In my own scripts I actually close the browser after each monitoring sequence, and start a fresh Chrome/Firefox instance for each new measurement.

Not at moment. I am running on a low power Zotac computer, so opening and closed the browser is very slow and non ideal, but I will try it every loop of my script. It seems odd to me that specific commands/steps (those using the execute_sandbox) of the marco would be skipped due to memory issue. I would of thought it would simply freeze or grind to a halt.

I will try to periodically close and reopen the browser.
