Hi Openbots experts, After the migration of the openbots studio, I am trying to generate the rpachallenge case. To get the xpath of some elements on the rpachallenge site I have tried to use the web recorder, unfortunately when the url of the rpachallenge site is entered, the page is not displayed in the web recorder window and remains blank. Do I need to remove and reinstall the "Chrome Native Messaging" extension? If so, how can I do that? Kind regards.

Based on the post, you have been able to use the Native Browser extension in the past, correct? If that is the case, then some misconfiguration might have occurred on the reinstallation process. For instance, the folder path where the Native Browser is located and referenced by OpenBots Studio. Could you please verify that the following path is accessible through your File Explorer: �C:\Users%UserName%\AppData\Local\OpenBots Inc\OpenBots Studio\Extensions�
In this path, you should see the manifests available for your installed browser engines. For example, in case of Chrome, you should see the file: "com.openbots.chromeserver.message-manifest.json"
If you do, please open this file in notepad and take notice of the path that is indicated in the file. For instance, in my case I have the following information:
{ "name": "com.openbots.chromeserver.message", "description": "OpenBots Native Messaging Host for Chrome", "path": "C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenBots Inc\Extensions\NativeServer\OpenBots.NativeServer.exe", "type": "stdio", "allowed_origins": [ "chrome-extension://kkepankimcahnjamnimeijpplgjpmdpp/" ] }
So if I navigate to the indicated path, I should find the OpenBots.NativeServer.exe
If the exe isn't at the indicated path, then the bot will be unable to make the recorder connection.
