How to fix a tricky issue? #5

Closed zydjohnHotmail closed 2 years ago

zydjohnHotmail commented 2 years ago

Hello, I have tried to write a program to upload some pictures to my facebook account. And I found some tricky issue. You can upload photos/videos to your facebook account, from home page, click on photos/videos icon within the "What's on your mind, User Name? Photo/video" group. The following code works for the first 4 files (photos or videos) Console.WriteLine("Click on What's on your mind, … ? Photo/video"); UIDA_Label mind_video = engine.GetDesktopPane().Pane("Facebook - Google Chrome").Document("Facebook") .GroupAt("", 2).Group("Create a post").Button("Photo/video").Label("Photo/video"); mind_video.Highlight(); mind_video.Click(); engine.Sleep(1500);

However, from the 5th files, the above code stops working. As I can see from the Spy tools, the UIDA_Label mind_video seems to change to another value, like: engine.GetDesktopPane().Pane("Facebook - Google Chrome").Document("Facebook") .GroupAt("", 3).Group("Create a post").Button("Photo/video").Label("Photo/video");

However, the label position remain the same. Is it possible to always click on the same position, no matter what the engine consider the underlying label should be? Thanks,

Hi, Instead of engine.GetDesktopPane().Pane("Facebook - Google Chrome").Document("Facebook") .GroupAt("", 2).Group("Create a post").Button("Photo/video").Label("Photo/video"); or engine.GetDesktopPane().Pane("Facebook - Google Chrome").Document("Facebook") .GroupAt("", 3).Group("Create a post").Button("Photo/video").Label("Photo/video");

use this: UIDA_Label mind_video = engine.GetDesktopPane().Pane("Facebook - Google Chrome").Document("Facebook").Label("Photo/video", true);

This way the library will look in all descendants of "Facebook" document for the "Photo/video" label not only in the immediate children.

Best regards.
