Hey everyone,
how exactly does the Wait for Download activity work.
I but my button click inside the wait for download activity but it never triggers, aka i am stuck waiting even long after the download is finished. Is it a problem that i changed the download location? Am i missing how this activity works?
Greetings Marvin
yeah, it’s not easy to understand if you don’t know how it works … i should add a video about it soon.
When OpenRPA gets to Wait for Download it will disable ( ok, not disable but modify ) the download manager in chrome/firefox and tell it to accept any download without prompting for filename, but instead generate an unique name.
It will then run whatever is inside the body of Wait for Download and then go idly until the browser has triggered the “download completed” event, and then return the event containing the filename.
So, you should make sure the click inside Wait for Downloadis the one that starts the download.
If no download is started, the workflow will hang for ever ( sorry, there is no timeout on that, right now )
