"Error #101: UI.Vision RPA is not connected to a browser tab.” happens if you try to play a web page related command like
- Click
- Type
- executeScript
- …
while the UIvision IDE is not connected to a tab with real website loaded inside it.
Not a real browser page/tab are special browser tab such as:
- the Google “New tab” tab (as seen in the screenshot and video below)
- Chrome settings chrome://settings/
- Extension page chrome://extensions/
On such pages UI.Vision can not run web page commands.
But commands that do not need a website to work continue to work fine e. g.
- If… else… end
- store
- XClick
- executeScript**_Sandbox**
- Open (it does not need a web page, because it loads one by itself)
- …and many more!
Video example (taken from "Open" function logs out of site using some computers - #9 by admin)
By design OPEN
works even if there is a “non-web page” such as the start page open in the browser because it loads a website by itself. By contrast the executeScript
command needs an already open web page to work since technically this command runs inside the website.
