Hi Team,

I am trying to select data using the Spying tool in AutomationEdge Process Studio, but the element is not being detected by the Spying tool. Because of this, I am unable to capture the data or interact with that element.

Could you please guide me on how to select or capture data when the Spying tool is unable to detect the element?

Thanks.

First, identify whether the target is a Web application or a Windows/Java Desktop application

  • Web Applications:

    • Browser Extension: Verify the AutomationEdge browser extension is installed, enabled, and allowed in Incognito mode if you are using private browsing.

    • iFrames: If the element is inside an iframe, click inside the iframe frame first before activating the Spy tool.

    • XPath: Inspect the element directly via Browser Developer Tools (F12) to copy its XPath or CSS selector manually, or interact with it using the GUI: Inject JavaScript step.

Windows Applications

  • Spying Mode: Ensure the Spy mode is set to Windows.
  • Accessibility Check: Use Accessibility Insights for Windows to verify whether the element exposes standard accessibility properties.
  • If the Element Is Not Detected: This may indicate that the underlying UI framework does not expose the required accessibility information.
