UI-REL-001 - Large Idx in Selectors
UI Automation Activities
Last updated Dec 4, 2024
UI-REL-001 - Large Idx in Selectors
Rule ID:
UI-REL-001
Scope: Activity
Default action: Error
This rule applies to activities that are part of both the Classic and the Modern UI Automation experiences.
Shows selectors one by one that contain the
idx
attribute with a threshold higher than the one set by the user. This attribute is used to distinguish elements with the same
selector based on their order in the interface hierarchy. This order can change if the elements you are automating change,
so this attribute should be avoided to avoid the selection of wrong elements. Consider using other attributes in the selector
to make it less dependent on the idx
attribute. For more information about selectors, refer to the Studio Guide UI Automation selectors page. Also, reducing indexes can be achieved by adding information about ancestor elements, using relative elements or the Anchor Base activity.
