Why is my OpenRPA not finding elements consistently?

[Alexandre_Marinho]

Good morning, I’m new to OpenRPA and I’m having trouble mapping certain elements of a decktop application. I’ve already cleared the cache, but sometimes it’s found and sometimes it’s not. What do you recommend me to do?

try having a look at this video, and see if that helps you getting better results

troubleshoot selectors in OpenRPA

Hi thanks, but I’ve already tried that.As I said before. It finds the element, but at the time of execution, Failed locating 1 item(s).

An exemple:

[
  {
    "filename": "C:\\OlimpoIV\\Olimpo.exe",
    "processname": "Olimpo",
    "arguments": "",
    "Selector": "Windows",
    "search_descendants": "True",
    "mouse_over_search": "False"
  },
  {
    "Name": "Olimpo*",
    "ControlType": "Window",
    "AutomationId": "StmFrmPrin",
    "FrameworkId": "WinForm"
  },
  {
    "Name": "VndCd17 - Cliente",
    "ControlType": "Window",
    "AutomationId": "VndFrmCd17",
    "FrameworkId": "WinForm"
  },
  {
    "ControlType": "Pane",
    "AutomationId": "cMskDesPse",
    "FrameworkId": "WinForm"
  },
  {
    "Name": "Nome Fantasia ",
    "ControlType": "Edit",
    "AutomationId": "mskBase",
    "FrameworkId": "WinForm"
  }
]

if you change

@Alexandre_Marinho

"Name": "VndCd17 - Cliente",

into “Name”: “*”

Is that enough?
I’m having my own fair share of problems, but I try to gather at least 3 sets of selectors to compare it.

(I’m also bumping the message so it stays alive for a couple of days more)
