Automating downloading of a google spreadsheet using RPA Desktop Design Studio

Hello Devs out there!

 

I have been trying to automate the process of downloading a google spreadsheet using RPA Desktop Design Studio(DDS) by creating a flow for the same.

I have added the Chromium connector in global objects list to be able to use web application related objects and methods. Using the same I have captured the "File" element present in the header of a google spreadsheet as "File" menu. Once that's clicked I will be adding subsequent elements to successfully download the sheet.

But here I am facing the issue, as the "File" menu is not getting clicked. 

I am adding the screenshot of the flow & global object list here.

There are total 3 clicks that can be seen from the flow image, 

i) It's clicking on the profile button at the top right hand corner. Here I have used the Toolbox Click component, it's working fine.

ii) The 2nd click is to click on the File button on the header menu, it's also Toolbox click component, but it doesn't work.

iii) The 3rd click is also for the same purpose but it's a method of the fileClick element captured from the screen. fileClick is a div element. And this also doesn't work.

I don't get any errors on this, it shows successfully invoked the operations.

Please reply if anyone has any ideas on this.

 

Thanks!!

Have you found a resolution or workaround for this? I have a similar issue, and I wonder if it has to do with the href attribute of the A element having a 'javascript:' url as the value?
