What is this error ?

The internet connection working and if i run a loop sometimes in the same part show this error but repeat there are NOT any error in command before and after the error.

Can be a false error ?

I checked more times the macro and the form filled and there are NOT any error but i can’t know why sometimes show this error

“[error][ignored] ipcPromise: onAsk timeout 1000 for cmd “RUN_COMMAND”, args “[object Object]””.

I use it to update wordpress and need login but the strage thing is there are not command error before and after this error.

Any suggestion ?

Thanks

Hi @admin

Any news for this strange bug ?

This is tricky. The IPC error shows if there is a communication problem between UIvision and the website. Clearly, it should not happen. Normally UIvision should catch such an error and retry.

Do you have a test macro for us?

I have not a macro because is for wordpress with some plugin and require login.

I think this is a false error because the macro working well and there are not any others error.

I think can be the save button (that load 2-3 seconds) and ui vision record this error before this error.

The very strange thing is there are not any error (form not filled, var not recognized) i tryed if for more times.

This save and i think is this the cause because when save show a effect in the page for 2-3 seconds but i hoped to see the error after saving not before.

i do have the same problem

I got this error while I was trying to do a file upload (on chrome with the built-in function):
https://ui.vision/rpa/docs/selenium-ide/form-filling#fileupload

I hadn’t done the ““make sure that “Allow access to file URLs” is enabled”” part (that was why I had an error).

Hope it help someone

I’ve had that error or similar twice today…

I was doing video rendering intermittently at a similar time that uses a lot of CPU, so I’m guessing that could be the cause. Also the webpage the script was read is undated every 1 seconds. So maybe that caused the timeout.
