Is there a limit to the number of lines UiVision can extract and save to a file?
I’m running an automation that extracts many lines (100 thousand or more), but there comes a time when the Macro breaks, crashes and no longer works. I believe this could be the problem.
extract less, like 70 thousand then jump to another macro and extract another 70 thousand
I tried again and when it reaches the line approximately at line 1,500 the extension breaks and stops running.
If you need a macro to run a very long time (hours, days or even weeks) I recommend that you start it from the command line. This way you have full control over the browser and ui.vision.
If that happens, I recommend to loop the extracting in your calling script. So you would write a macro that e. g. extracts 1000 lines at once, and then stops.
Now your calling script closes the browser & ui.vision and then starts both fresh for the next 1000 lines. Do this 100 times and your web scraping is completed.
You find sample code for Node.JS, Python, Powershell etc here: RPA/command-line at master · A9T9/RPA · GitHub
