Hi have to click on Ok button , which leads to download a file in excel format in specific folder, how can i validate if the file download completed or not.
and how to retry if it fails, is there any activity similar to wait for download like in uipath.
+15Hi
this would be a basic one:
If you know the filename already you don’t need the *.xlsx in IF statement.
Change x times loop and IF statement seconds to your needs.
You could also create a better one and have it as a central task bot with Input variables like DownloadPath, Filename, SecondsToWait and NumberOfIterations or what ever you need. With this approach you can trigger this bot within all you projects where you need to wait for downloads.
Cheers

Try below might helpful
$RetryCount$ = 0
$MaxRetries$ = 3
Loop While $RetryCount$ < $MaxRetries$
If File Exists "C:\Downloads\Report.xlsx"
Break Loop // File found, exit retry loop
Else
Delay: 5 seconds // Wait for download to start
$RetryCount$ = $RetryCount$ + 1
End If
End Loop
If $RetryCount$ = $MaxRetries$
Log to File: "Download failed after max retries"
// Handle failure (e.g., throw error, stop bot)
If the download fails after all retries, use the “Log to File” action to log the failure, or the “Throw” action to raise an error:
Throw: "Failed to download Excel file after retries"
Recommendation: You can pass $MaxRetries$ from config file
