Ui.Vision Bug Reports
1

Hello everyone,

I am back with a full test case for this issue.
How to use it:
1 - Unzip the “PageTestCase.zip” file
2 - Open “Éditer DRAFT.PHYTO.2022.0015392 - Lot - TRACES NT.htm” with Firefox
3 - Add the following script to UI Vision
4 - Click “Play”

I also included 2 videos, one of the normal running of the test case (UI Vision isn’t showing, I just select the following macro and hit play) and one of the issue happening.

Thanks! You mention Firefox - does the problem also show in V8.0.1 in Chrome?

I am unable to test, UI vision on chrome doesn’t seem to work on a .htm opened in a tab:

[error]
Line 9: Error #101: UI.Vision RPA is not connected to a browser tab(more info)

I am also unable to run the macro I work with because of this error:

[error]
Line 37: undefined is not a function

The code is:

 {
      "Command": "executeScript_Sandbox",
      "Target": "var marchandise = ${phyto}[0].trim(); \nreturn marchandise.length > 8 ? marchandise.slice(0, -(Number(marchandise.length) -8)).padStart(8,'0') : marchandise.padStart(8,'0');",
      "Value": "marchandise ",
      "Description": ""
    },

And the “phyto” variable is equal to:

["09030000","ZINOF / ILEPA","0.60","2","Egypte / Chine / Etats Unis / France","29050788","L.TISANIER.20S MATE VIT.B3 30G"]

Which is the reason why I switched to firefox in the first place

Version 8.0.1 all XModules installed, vesions v1.0.12, v1.0.31, v1.0.42 respectively
Chrome updated to the last version 105.0.5195.127

4

The problem is the padStart command, it is not supported by ES5, so not support in executeScript_Sandbox

For more details & solutions please see this post.

I recommend you make this change and then try with V8.0.1 in Chrome.

The error is different using Chrome, the action is performed but the type command is fails:

[error][ignored]
Line 10 (Sub: SigneDistinctif): ipcPromise: onAsk timeout 2000 for cmd "PANEL_CALL_PLAY_TAB", args {"ipcTimeout":100,"ipcNoLaterThan":3326485755436,"payload":{"command":"RUN_COMMAND","args":{"command":{"cmd":"type","target":"xpath=//*[@id=\"commoditiesBox\"]/div[2]/div[2]/section/ng-form[2]/div/div[2]/ul/li[79]/div/div[3]/div/div[12]/div/div/descriptor-column/ng-include/descriptor-column-string/div/div/input","value":"40151043 CIGALOU THYM  15G POT VERRE","description":"Remplis la description produit","extra":{"playHighlightElements":true,"playScrollElementsIntoView":true,"timeoutPageLoad":60,"timeoutElement":2,"timeoutDownload":60,"timeoutDownloadStart":10,"lastCommandOk":true,"errorIgnore":true,"waitForVisible":false,"retryInfo":{"retryCount":0}}}}}}
At Line 69 in Phytos

I ignored the error to be able to complete the macro but it is very slow since it fails once each time despite the type command working fine
