Hello, Nagaraj,
Thank you for reaching out and providing the detailed information.
We were unable to reproduce the issue on our side. Since exporting works correctly when triggered manually through the UI, this confirms that Flexmonster's export functionality is working as expected. We have also not released any Flexmonster updates in the timeframe you mentioned (June 30 - July 1), so a change on our end is not the cause of this regression.
Given this, we suggest investigating potential changes on the Selenium side, for example, those related to the mentioned Chrome update or any auto-installed Selenium updates.
On the side of Flexmonster, it would be worth checking that the export is triggered only after the reportcomplete event has fired, to ensure the report is fully rendered before the export call is made. Also, since exports can take longer to complete for larger datasets, we suggest verifying whether the process is interrupted by a Selenium timeout. Finally, we recommend additionally debugging this issue in the browser console, since an asynchronous exception during export cannot be caught by Selenium - it would only catch if the exception is thrown synchronously during that specific call.
As a temporary workaround, we suggest downgrading the Chrome version used for the export automation.
Please let us know if our answer helped you.
Best regards,
Maksym
