Hi there Cornel. Thanks for this tool.

I selected a node and used a "/html/body/script[4]//@

the result was a strings list with 2 elements but both elements were the same and not the 2 attributes names or values.

I guess because of the attribute specification which cannot be left blank.

Can this tool generate a list of all attributes for a specific node selected by an xpath selector?

Or is there another tool i should be using to get them without using a browser?

Thanks for sharing. This code is good for a future headless browser.

Is any limitation of how many xpath/data can read/store ??

I think you will be a great teacher...

For the rest that can not view the video in full screen this is the link

Hi Adrian,

No idea about limitations, I only used it for small "adventures", for production work I can't really go with this Custom Acitvity without one solid reason.

I believe the limitation might need to be questioned around HAP.

And HAP moved on as well since I made the above, so I'm glad you eyed the code rather than the component, which is good, because the component could use the refresher and if you can take that on yourself, that would be ideal and best way to go.

Should I Publishmy custom component on https://go.uipath.com/components ???

Hi Sarvam.

Not sure how to answer that one. :)

I guess the Default is set to "Yes" though.

You should publish your components on UiPath Go.

All the best,

Cornel
