Wait Element Appear in UiPath

Question

Hi

There is a Wait Element Vanish activity but no Wait Element Appear activity in UiPath. I need check for appearance of an element for a specific time and throw an exception if it doesn't appear. Is there any workaround to do this in UiPath?

Hi

There is no Wait Element Appear activity in UiPath Studio. But you can use the Element Exists activity to achieve this. The activity can wait for a specified amount of microseconds and returns a 1 or 0 based on whether that element is detected or not. This activity cannot throw an exception by itself. That has to be handled separately based on the output of Element Exists activity.

Hope this helps.
