Uipath studio Data scraping takes forever

Question

When my rpa start the data scraping, the rpa is able to start running but takes forever and never complete the data scraping. There is no error message output, the rpa never end. Why this is happening? And I strongly suspect it is caused by the selector.

Selector of "Attach Browser 'Cookingoi' Page":

<html app='chrome.exe' htmlwindowname='nameStorage:?wm_referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fredmart.lazada.sg%2F%23home&amp;refer_pv_id=*' title='* - Buy * at Best Price in Singapore | www.lazada.sg' />

Selector of "Extract Structured Data 'DIV'":

<webctrl css-selector='body&gt;div&gt;div&gt;div&gt;div&gt;div' parentid='root' tag='DIV' />

Selector of "NextLinkSelector":

<webctrl idx='7' isleaf='1' parentid='root' tag='A' />

Are you using the "Next page" feature? Or just feating the page that you currently see? — kwoxer
Yes, I am using the "Next page" feature. I had now placed the selector of "NextLinkSelector" on this question. — WetzelSchultz
Yes, I ensured the properties of "Extract Structured Data 'DIV'" is WaitForReady.COMPLETE However, it is not working also. — WetzelSchultz

Ok, I was able to do this you have to select the larger box encompassing the whole div for an item. This is how my extract metadata tag looks like.

<extract>
    <row exact='1'>
        <webctrl tag='div' class='shelf_container' idx='1'/>
        <webctrl tag='div' class='shelf_wrapper' idx='1'/>
        <webctrl tag='div' class='product_container'/>
    </row>
    <column exact='1' name='col1' attr='text'>
        <webctrl tag='div' class='shelf_container' idx='1'/>
        <webctrl tag='div' class='shelf_wrapper' idx='1'/>
        <webctrl tag='div' class='product_container'/>
        <webctrl tag='a' class='pdp_link' idx='1'/>
    </column>
    <column exact='1' name='Column2' attr='text'>
        <webctrl tag='div' class='shelf_container' idx='1'/>
        <webctrl tag='div' class='shelf_wrapper' idx='1'/>
        <webctrl tag='div' class='product_container'/>
        <webctrl tag='a' class='pdp_link' idx='1'/>
        <webctrl tag='div' class='product_details_container' idx='1'/>
        <webctrl tag='div' class='title_wrapper' idx='1'/>
        <webctrl tag='div' class='title' idx='1'/>
    </column>
    <column exact='1' name='Column3' attr='text'>
        <webctrl tag='div' class='shelf_container' idx='1'/>
        <webctrl tag='div' class='shelf_wrapper' idx='1'/>
        <webctrl tag='div' class='product_container'/>
        <webctrl tag='a' class='pdp_link' idx='1'/>
        <webctrl tag='div' class='product_details_container' idx='1'/>
        <webctrl tag='div' class='price_container' idx='1'/>
        <webctrl tag='div' class='product_price' idx='1'/>
    </column>
</extract>
