IF Block running even if condition not met

[afdepm]

I am trying to build a flow using an IF statement that evaluates a webpage message following an action.

Here's the sequence of events:

• Set filters
• Run filters
• Wait for message to appear
• Evaluate message- the message will be either a) "No file to download" or "Save Files"
• Choose action based on message

In my flow, I have the IF statement set to:

If Web Page Contains: If UI Element contains Span: No File to Download, Go To Label, End

After the end, I have the sequence for saving the file.

However, the flow is jumping to the label, even with the IF test fails (i.e. the window says "Save Files", which would be a FALSE result)

I have tried everything I can thing of, but continue to get the same result.  Any suggestions are appreciated.

I am not an expert on html, but I bet the element still exists, such as “Show Download Button is False” (in plain English), contains “Download Button” would still exist within the HTML. 

instead of “if web page contains” try “if web element exists” because this should have to be more specific to what is on the visible spectrum (I think)

best of luck!

This is as close as I can find to what you are describing

• Action: If web page contains
• Check if web page: Contains Element
• UI Element: the Span that indicates if a file is available to download

Thank you for the quick reply

Hi @afdepm 

Some options you can try are

i. Instead of span see if you can make use of any other html element

ii. See if you can read that text by using "Get details of element on web page" and then do the text comparison.

Meaning - get the Text and check if that text is "No file to download" or "Save Files".

Add a On block error such that if the element is not found then it would take a specific route.
