We are test team working on scripting Appian based webpage.
We were using "fixture.clickonbutton("Home");" or "fixture.clickonlink("Home");" to automate the menu "Home" functionality but with recent update that we went from 23.1 to 23.2. Our scripts does not identify Menu options at the top of the page.

Menu buttons/links that we can not find scripts (method) for: Screenshot - https://www.screencast.com/t/1cnJKYSBCL83
Any update regards the new update will be helpful for us to figure out the issue we are facing.

Thank you

Looks like this was an issue around scripting site Navigation. Should be using fixture.clickonSitePage("Home"); instead of clickonbutton or clickonlink for this type of Navigation action. I know Appian 23.2 had some major changes with Site Navigation architecture, so not surprising there were some changes here, but somewhat surprised your original method worked.

Did you update your Selenium Appian libraries to the latest version?

Hi Stefan
Yes, we tried the new updated Libraries which was "Appian Selenium API Combined Files 6142023" file.
Still the issue we are facing has not been solved. If you know any alternative ways of solving the issue, let us know.

I suggest to contact Appian and/or open a support case.
