Message: <blockquote data-quote="Randall Graham" data-source="post: 29075" data-attributes="member: 11342">Most browser automation demos look great because they only show the happy path.The browser opens, clicks the correct buttons, submits the form, and everything is done in thirty seconds.Real workflows usually fail in much less exciting ways. A login expires. A selector changes. The proxy becomes slow. A popup appears. The page loads in a different order. The script keeps running, but the final result is wrong.That last case is the one I find most difficult. A clear crash is easy to notice. A workflow that finishes successfully but produces a bad result is much more dangerous.For people running browser automation every day, how do you handle unexpected page states? Do you stop the workflow, retry it, or send it to a human review queue?For me, making the browser perform an action once isn’t the hard part. The hard part is knowing when the result shouldn’t be trusted.</blockquote>
