Zoomba delay

[mcsmagngo]

Zoomba has a big delay to process a act. I can't fix this problem. Can you help me?
I use locator to click on button or check if the button is enabled. But, these process it takes too long.

I am going to need some additional information to proceed:

1. What part of Zoomba are you using? GUI or Desktop?
2. Can your provide a copy of your log.html file created by robotframework?

1. I am using Desktop
2. The loge is here. Thank you!

Im not sure what happened to that log file but I cannot view it, even with removing the .pdf extension.

Alright so I think your issue here is the use of xpath. I go over it a bit in #183 :

"Xpath in WinAppDriver is slow and in this case effected by how many other programs your desktop has running. I attempted to test a few more xpath possibilities to see if what I was doing was ill-performant but I couldn't get a noticeable difference in execution speed.

This all ends up on the WInAppDriver side which is closed source. They promise that its not dead but we have yet to hear too much from them on it."

When you use Xpath in the DesktopLibrary it is going to essentially take and xml of your app and traverse it. When its looking through the desktop session its even worse as the speed will depend on how many applications are running at once.

Luckily in your case I am seeing a lot of other locators you can use that should make things much faster. For example:

Rather than xpath=//Button[@Name="Add Package Item"] you could use that Name and do name=Add Package Item as your locator.

Or something longer like:
xpath=//Pane[@Name="The XtraLayoutControl"][@AutomationId="quoteLayoutControl"]/Pane[@AutomationId="quoteLineItemsUserControl"]/Pane[@Name="The XtraLayoutControl"][starts-with(@AutomationId,"layoutControl")]/Tree[@AutomationId="lineItemsTreeList"]/Group[@Name="Data Panel"]/TreeItem[@Name="Node1"]/DataItem[@Name="Unit Price row 1"]

Could probably just be name=Unit Price row 1.

Other locator strategies can be found at the top of the docs: https://accruent.github.io/robotframework-zoomba/DesktopLibraryDocumentation.html
