inconsistent and not reproducible activity from one workflow to the next…
I build a workflow which does something. I then copy and paste it into a new workflow to find that it behaves differently, after nothing but a copy and paste.
Click elements don’t work after copy and pasting workflows…
How do I track it down, what is going on?
The only thing that will not work with copy’n’paste is any image attached to an activity will still be “owned” by the original workflow, and if you delete that, the images are gone from both. That is where there is Copy command in the menu, that will ensure to correctly duplicate images.
Another common issue, is namespaces. Doing autocompletion and adding activities, the workflow will slowly add a to the list of reference namespaces and this does not get updated when copy’n’pasing. So things like Invoke Code can break if a namespace is missing. Most of the time you should get a error message in that case.
You can debug using breakpoints. Select an activity and press F9 to set a breakpoint, then run the workflow, one the robot hits the breakpoint, you can inspect all variables in the properties window, and you can single stop though the workflow with F10 ( or F11 for step over ) or continue running using F5
