Symptom

Actions continue as if a click or dropdown pick worked, but nothing happened on the page.

Evidence what you'll see

  • Log shows 'Element index N not available - page may have changed' as a warning, not an error
  • consecutive_failures never goes up

Cause

In click, dropdown_options and select_dropdown, a missing element returns a normal result (extracted_content) instead of an error result.
