# Element Repository

The following are the errors that can occur while working with Element Repository:

| Error                                                                 | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    | Solution                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 |
| --------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Text not found                                                        | This error occurs when Avo Assure attempts to locate or verify the specified text in the application, but the expected text is not present. As a result, the verification fails.                                                                                                               | Verify that the expected text is correct, ensure the application has loaded the required content, and retry the verification.                                                                                                                                                            |
| **Action Not Recognized** after Element identification                | The element is successfully identified during execution, but the action fails with an **Action Not Recognized** error. This commonly occurs when navigation elements are captured using labels or unstable identification properties that do not accurately represent the interactable object. | Open the element properties and prioritize a more reliable locator strategy, such as a Relative XPath, CSS Selector or Recapture or update the element, if necessary, then re-execute the test case to validate the interaction.                                                         |
| Unable to Capture Dropdown Element                                    | The dropdown closes automatically when attempting to capture one of its options, preventing the element from being captured successfully. This typically occurs with dynamic or auto-collapsing dropdown controls.                                                                             | Use the **Delay** option while capturing the element. Configure an appropriate delay (in seconds) to provide sufficient time to open the dropdown and keep it expanded before initiating the capture process.                                                                            |
| The Current Operation Cannot Be Performed Because of the Object State | This error occurs when Avo Assure attempts to interact with an object before it is fully loaded or ready for interaction due to synchronization delays.                                                                                                                                        | <ul><li>Add an appropriate wait to allow the screen to load completely before performing the action.</li><li>If required, perform a <strong>Click</strong> action on the screen or target control to bring the object into an interactive state before retrying the operation.</li></ul> |

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.avoautomation.com/avo-assure/error-logs/errors/platform/design-studio/element-repository.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
