Web Automation - session id from child bot question

Hey gang,

 

I’m looking for some advise on Web Automation..

I’ve build a child bot that will be used as Reusable Component. It’s main purpose is to start new session in Chrome navigate to specific URL and login using stored credentials. Upon successful login I would use “Get Current Session” component to grab current session id into a string and output it in main flow bot. 

In the main flow I want to continue and navigate using the same session id/window to a different URL, but I’m not getting any luck nor any errors. What am I possibly missing here?

@ja 1672 Import this zip file in your control room. This will add Browser Automation package.

 

For session to be shared, ensure package version is same among bots.

Community edition does not set/allow latest package version as default for imported packages.

@jayqb I am the author of this package, it is built on top of web automation to eliminate the Web Automation shortcomings.

Issue you are facing is related to chrome version not working even with correct driver version through selenium and not specific to package.

Try this updated version:

    Hi Roshan,

    Unfortunately the only way I managed to get this working was with the BrowserAutomation package Sumit.K7 submitted. You can downloaded and import it into your A360
