Exp No: 8 Recording Mouse and Keyboard Actions in UiPath

Objective: To automate the process of recording and reproducing mouse and keyboard
actions using UiPath's recording features.

Materials Required:

 Computer with UiPath Studio installed

Procedure:

1. Create a New Project:

o Open UiPath Studio and create a new process.
2. Start Recording:
o Go to the "Design" tab and click on "Recording".
o Choose the type of recording you want to perform:
 Basic Recording: Ideal for simple tasks where you record clicks and
keyboard inputs.
 Desktop Recording: Provides more control and is useful for recording
interactions on a desktop application or web browser.
 Web Recording: Optimized for recording interactions in web
applications.
3. Perform Actions to Record:
o Mouse Actions:
 Click on elements like buttons or menus. UiPath will record the
coordinates and actions.
 Drag and drop actions if needed.
o Keyboard Actions:
 Type text into input fields.
 Use keyboard shortcuts (e.g., Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V).
4. Stop Recording:
o Click the "Stop" button on the recording toolbar to finish the recording.
5. Review Recorded Actions:
o UiPath will generate a sequence based on the recorded actions.
o Review the Generated Sequence:
 Inspect the generated activities in the workflow.
 Ensure that the recorded actions match your requirements and are
correctly placed.
6. Edit Recorded Actions (if necessary):
o Adjust Properties:
 Modify properties such as selectors or input values to ensure accuracy.
o Add Logic:
 Insert additional activities or logic if needed (e.g., conditions, loops).
7. Save and Run:
o Save the workflow.
o Run the automation to verify that it correctly reproduces the recorded mouse
and keyboard actions.
8. Test and Validate:
o Test the automation in different scenarios to ensure reliability.

1
 o Verify that the automation performs the desired actions accurately and handles
various conditions.

Sample Input:

 Actions: Click a button, type text into a field, press Enter, and select a menu item.

Sample Output:

 The recorded sequence reproduces the mouse clicks and keyboard inputs as
performed during the recording session.

Results:

 The automation successfully records and replays mouse and keyboard actions,
replicating the steps performed during the recording process.

Notes:

 Selectors: Ensure that UI selectors are stable and reliable, as dynamic elements on the
screen may cause issues.
 Delay and Timing: Adjust delays and timing settings if the automation needs to wait
for elements to become available or for actions to complete.

Exp No: 10 Implementing Error Handling in UiPath

Objective: To incorporate error handling mechanisms into an RPA process to manage and
respond to exceptions and errors effectively.

Materials Required:

 Computer with UiPath Studio installed

 Sample workflow where error handling will be implemented (e.g., a workflow
performing data scraping and writing to a file)

Procedure:

1. Create or Open a Project:

o Open UiPath Studio and create a new process or open an existing workflow
where you want to add error handling.
2. Identify Error-Prone Areas:
o Determine which parts of the workflow are likely to generate errors (e.g., data
scraping, file operations, web interactions).
3. Implement Basic Error Handling:
o Use Try Catch Activity:
 Drag the “Try Catch” activity into the workflow where you want to
handle potential errors.
 Place the activities that might throw exceptions inside the “Try” block.
 Define what should happen if an error occurs by placing activities in
the “Catch” block.
4. Configure Exception Handling:
o Add Catch Blocks:
 Add specific exception types in the “Catch” block to handle different
types of exceptions (e.g., System.Exception,
UiPath.Core.ElementNotFoundException).
 Use the “Catch” block to log the error, notify the user, or perform
alternative actions.
o Example Actions in Catch Block:
 Log Error: Use the “Log Message” activity to log the exception
details.
 Send Notification: Use the “Send Email” activity to send a
notification about the error.
 Retry Operation: Use the “Retry Scope” activity to retry the
operation that failed.
5. Implement Global Exception Handling (Optional):
o Use Global Exception Handler:
 Implement a global exception handler to manage exceptions that occur
throughout the entire workflow.
 In UiPath Orchestrator, configure the global exception handler settings
to specify actions for unhandled exceptions.
6. Use Retry Mechanism (Optional):
o Use Retry Scope Activity:
 Implement the “Retry Scope” activity to automatically retry a specific
operation a certain number of times before throwing an error.

5
  Configure the retry logic and conditions to define when to stop
retrying.
7. Save and Test:
o Save the workflow.
o Run the process to test the error handling implementation.
o Simulate errors to ensure that the error handling mechanisms respond
correctly.
8. Verify and Validate:
o Verify that errors are handled as expected.
o Check logs, notifications, or alternative actions to ensure proper error
management.

Sample Input:

 An operation that may fail (e.g., accessing a web page, reading a file).

Sample Output:

 Error Log Entry: "Error occurred: System.Exception: File not found."

 Notification Email: "Subject: Error Notification, Body: An error occurred during the
workflow execution."

Results:

 The automation process successfully handles errors, logs exception details, and takes
appropriate actions based on the error type.
