Handle and Follow Links Using Web Element in RPA Express

I am using WorkFusion RPA Express ver. 1.1.4. While Web Web Elements can be used to get/set web elements by XPath, attributes cannot be retrieved using this method.

The framework expects to see one or more Web Elements as the result, but not the attributes. So, I end up receiving Selenium Exceptions.

I was wondering if there is a way to capture the attributes of the web elements using XPath keeping them as web elements.

Example:

<table>
  <tr>
    <td>
      <a href= "link1">Text 1</a>
    </td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>
      <a href= "link2">Text 2</a>
    </td>
  </tr>
</table>

Expected Result: (as a list of Web Elements)

link1
link2

Selenium does not allow attributes, that result to text, or plain text to evaluate into WebElement. Sad (no) but true.

Since Workfusion RPA wraps Selenium, you'll get the exceptions anyway.
