Different Execution in Builder & Attended Modes

I am fairly new to RPA and this is basically about my first bot, so please don't eat me alive:)

I noticed that the execution of the same bot in builder mode and attended mode tends to give different results - of course some of this is inevitable due to the builder mode showing the OpenBots window, which activates on each line execution, however there are more subtle things as well, one of which I don't seem unable to find my way around:

My bot needs to pull some information from an application that is accessible only through... a Citrix remote window. I managed to handle the task with relative reliability using image recognition, however in the Attended mode, I seem to run into an issue right away - the bot activates the Citrix window and is supposed to click on a button, however it throws out an error

Error: System.ObjectDisposedException: Cannot access a disposed object.
Object name: 'frmScriptEngine'.

This is the entire log for the relevant part:

Any idea what might be the problem?

Hello!

As you mentioned, the attended Studio mode may present slight changes to the way the automation runs. We will look further into the commands presenting you issues. However, I do recommend using OpenBots Agent/Server to run your automations. As that is the most reliable and safe way to run jobs on both attended and unattended mode. In addition, Server provides more robust functionalities to manage and orchestrate your automations.

Hi @MV

which version of the studio are you using ? .if your using verison 1.4 upgrade it to v1.5 it might solve your issue !

"System.ObjectDisposedException: Cannot access a disposed object. Object name: 'frmScriptEngine'." I am aware of this error and i believe this error is thrown from running the bot using builder mode . The workaround that i have found out is to run the bot from the OpenBots server or you can run it in attended mode and apart from syntax errors your code should work fine. i am not sure whether it will work for you just give it a try
