It is often possible to create an xpath with an anchor to a fixed text (axes xpath) this way you solve the problem of the xpath changing because the search is based on the fixed element (anchor) and then searches the child generically.
Works similar to XClickRelative command but works with classic selenium ide commands
Only you who have access to the page can detect alternative xpaths, I recommend using various Chrome addons to detect additional xpaths and when you detect a non-dynamic one you integrate it into ui vision.
Ui vision only detects few available xpaths and does not detect xpath axes which are more advanced
So when I have it setup to direct message someone on instagram through use of
executing an action through a spreadsheet…
When it enters the name into the search box:
(See attachment)
Sometimes this happens if the target/name I am trying to direct message is beneath another result:
It enters in the name and the name of the user i am trying to target ends up on the second line but it only messages the top result (*For example: one of my followers or some other random user)
I am trying to find a workaround to where UI.Vision can message the SPECIFIC person
I am trying to target highlighted in the red box
How would I go about fixing this so this process can be more accurate?
I end up having situations where I double message people who have already been message and so forth.
NO, I use ui vision for firefox because portable firefox works by saving all the data in a folder so it’s easily portable or bootable even from a pen drive while Chrome saves a lot of data on the PC and Chrome is very heavy in terms of ram and limits me a lot in automations.
Unfortunately the version of ui vision for firefox hasn’t been updated for 2 years so in ui vision for Chrome there are new commands that I don’t know and could allow you to create macros in a different way.
I know how to automate any site including social media but making good automation takes time and work
