Hello! I'm trying to automate opening and executing a Python script named Conversion.py, which is in Desktop. Here's what I've tried:

  1. Using File package open and Open Program (doesn’t execute script).
  2. Using a Python package to open, execute, and close (doesn’t execute script).
Using Python Package Creates __pycache__

The script runs fine when I manually double click it in File Explorer.

How can I automate the following steps:

  1. Open File Explorer in the directory Desktop.
  2. Find and select Conversion.py.
  3. Double click it to run.

Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

Put the script into the module under the selection ‘Manual Input’, copy/paste it there.

I’ve had the same issue too, worked on it all day.

I can’t say why, perhaps it is one of the odd things of Automation Anywhere, but for the time being it seems that running the scripts from a file doesn’t work for me, but putting the exact same script in manually into the module, it started working perfectly.

I hope they fix that, whatever it is that causes it.
