Hello everyone,
I started to run a script yesterday, but it decided to act strangely. This script worked perfectly on Wednesday of last week. In fact, it has worked just fine for more than a year. It is a very simple script that does the following:
1. Imports some data from Excel.
2. Navigates to a particular page to run insurance re-illustrations
3. Saves the output for verification
So here is the strange behavior I am seeing.
First, on the data import, it will only allow for a manual import. I am using DataTable.ImportSheet. I was passing in the file's name, the name for the source sheet, and the name for the destination sheet. All worked perfectly for all that time. Now, though, when it runs, the importing of the sheet does not import. If I debug and import the sheet manually, the script will then start running again.
Next, while the script will continue running after the manual importing of the sheet, problems arise at the first set of commands. The very first command is to do a Browser.Navigate to the page I need to start the run. That is followed by a couple of clicks on links on that page. Here is where the strangest behavior is. If I let it run, it will sit on each step for nearly two minutes and then execute the step. It will do this for every step in the script. However, if I pause the script, it will perform that step, move to the next step and pause. If I then click the Run button, it will sit there again. Yet again, if I pause and run it, the steps will execute immediately. If I let it run by itself, each step will sit there for minutes.
Any ideas on either of those? Literally nothing has changed between last week and this week (other than I am older and more frustrated
). I am the only person that uses the machine it is on. That machine has received no new updates, and I swear I am doing everything the same way I have always done it. I could be missing something, though. I would appreciate any ideas you might have!
