87. xpected Subsection 3 1 Debugging Robot Errors shows some useful tools for testing robot actions and pinpointing error actions 2 Atypical cause of error is that robot actions are not robust enough and they no longer work with new Web pages Subsection 3 2 Repairing Robot Actions demonstrates some simple tools to fixing them 3 However if you have pinpointed the error and the above tools cannot solve the problem you may need to manually recompose the Query in the Property of each action and make them robust across all pages A typical method is to change their extraction query from multiple pages compare the different queries it generated automatically and come up with your best query The remaining section guides you through steps for checking robot errors and tools for fixing the robots You may need to have a basic understanding of how IRobot works before fixing bugs The basic logic of a robot task is a recursive invocation of a set of actions In other words actions are not working sequentially but recursively For example if there are three actions Al A2 A3 in a robot task T then you may think of task T as a function like the following Function TO For each tuple a in Al Do some computation on al For each tuple a2 in A2 Do some computation on a2 For each tuple a3 in A3 Do some computation on a3 Without understanding this recursive logic you may find some weird behavior from your robots Note that
