Overview
Overview
Six custom workflow analyzer rules are available with this DLL, which are namely listed below:
- Kill Process Activity Not Recommended: Inspects the project to check 'Kill Process' activity usage.
Recommendation: Using 'Kill Process' activity kills the specified process, for all users logged on that machine. Use a custom code to kill the process, only for bot's logged on user.
- Repeated Activity Display Name: Identifies activities having repeated display names in a workflow, excluding 'Log Message', 'Sequence' and 'Write Line' activities.
Recommendation: Add a descriptive title to the activity, to understand what it does.
- Hotkey Without Selector: Inspects project to check usage of 'Send Hotkey' activity either without a selector or not included inside a container like 'Attach Browser' / 'Attach Window'.
Recommendation: Specify a selector when using Send Hotkey activity or include it inside a container.
- All Wildcard Attribute: Inspects the attributes of selector to check, if one or more attributes have value equal to '*' / '?'. All wild card for an attribute in selector doesn’t validate anything.
Recommendation: Remove the attribute whose value is all wildcard as it is not validating anything.
- Missing Informative Screenshot: Verifies the availability of screenshot files in '.screenshots' folder of root path of project.
Recommendation: Attach informative screenshot to specified activities.
- Selector Attribute Not Recommended: Inspects the attributes of selector to identify usage to 'parentclass', 'class', 'classname', 'parentid' in it. Using the attributes specified in selector, makes it less stable over a longer run.
Recommendation: Consider using attributes other than (parentclass, class, classname, parentid) in the selector, to make it more stable/reliable.
