Goal:
I want the Dialog web block to show an HTML page, let the user enter a value, and then go to the YES path when the user confirms.

Expected behavior from documentation
The dialog should go to YES when the page redirects to http://localhost/ok
It should go to NO when redirected to http://localhost/cancel
The OK button should be enabled when the URL matches regex or when automate.setOkButtonEnabled true is used.

What is happening
YES never triggers.
The flow always goes to NO.
This happens no matter what I click.

Important note
Earlier I did not have this issue.
Everything worked fine before.
This problem started only since the day before yesterday.

Block configuration
Regular expression dot star
Timeout none
JavaScript allowed
HTML page inline

Tests done

Test 1
Code automate.setOkButtonEnabled true
Result OK button highlighted. Pressing OK still goes to NO.

Test 2
Code window.location equals http://localhost/ok
Result Dialog closes and goes to NO.

Test 3
Code window.location equals http://localhost/ok with data parameter
Result Goes to NO.

Test 4
Code set document title to test then redirect to http://localhost/ok
Result NO.

Test 5
Code anchor link to http://localhost/ok
Result NO.

Test 6
Auto redirect on load to http://localhost/ok
Result NO.

Test 7
Code add event listener for automate ok and prevent default
Result OK becomes disabled and dialog goes to NO which is expected.

Observation
In every test except the last, clicks were triggered but result was always NO.
In the last test, OK was disabled as expected.

Questions
Is localhost ok interception broken or changed recently
Are query parameters still supported
Could this be an Android WebView issue
Any required flags besides JavaScript
Does Page URL mode affect interception

Device info
Android version 15
Automate version 1.50.0

Please let me know if you need any further information.
And thank you so much for your time.

href missed.  Use this

window.location.href = 'http://localhost/ok?' Value

Nope, didn't work.

I guess the root cause is something different. Two reasons: 1. The same code/flow is working in another mobile phone. 2. I already tried with my already functional code running since 5+ days and behaving as expected. But when I ran today, I faced the above issue.

And the code snippet in the above comment was added by ChatGPT,  and it missed to add the exact smaller code which it
gave me to test.

I have also screen recorded the flow and it's bahvior.
I will try to upload that in cloud or compress that and share here for further reference.

And again thank you.

I further did some research and analysis.

And below are the findings:


Troubleshooting steps already performed:
Cleared Automate app storage and cache
Cleared Chrome cache
Cleared Android System WebView storage and cache
Uninstalled and reinstalled Android System WebView updates
Reinstalled Automate app
Restarted device multiple times
Tested with VPN off
Tested with Private DNS off
Verified all required permissions are granted to Automate
Confirmed Chrome and Android System WebView are up to date

None of the above changed the behavior.


Four minimal interception tests and results
Test A
Auto redirect on load to ok
<script>
window.location="http://localhost/ok";
</script>
Result
Dialog closes and NO path is taken
Meaning
Immediate redirect to ok is not detected as YES.

Test B
Manual button redirect to ok
<button onclick="window.location='http://localhost/ok'">
OK TEST
</button>
Result
NO path
In some runs the OK button in the dialog UI remained disabled
Meaning
User initiated navigation to ok is not detected.

Test C
Manual button redirect to cancel
<button onclick="window.location='http://localhost/cancel'">
CANCEL TEST
</button>
Result
NO path
Meaning
Ok and cancel currently lead to the same result. Cancel may not be truly intercepted and NO may just be fallback on close.

Test D
Redirect to ok with query parameter
<button onclick="window.location='http://localhost/ok?x=123'">
OK WITH DATA
</button>
Result
NO path
Result page URL variable does not show the ok URL
Meaning
The final navigated URL may not be reported back to the block.


Device comparison
Problem device
Motorola g34 5G
Android 15
Issue occurs 100 percent of the time
Comparison device
Samsung phone
Android 15
Same flow and same HTML
YES triggers correctly
This suggests device or WebView specific behavior.


Possible explanations

Localhost interception in WebView is not firing on this device
Recent WebView or Chrome update changed localhost handling
Motorola ROM specific WebView behavior
Possible regression affecting Web Dialog on some devices

Concise summary

On this Motorola device, Web Dialog does not detect redirects to localhost ok or cancel. All such redirects close the dialog and lead to NO path. The same setup works on a Samsung device with the same Android version. Cache clears, reinstalls, and WebView resets did not help. This points to a device or WebView specific issue rather than a flow logic error.

Works as expected when i test it. But referencing the functions in the HTML before declaring them could be an issue, proper would be:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>

<script>  
function enableOk(){  
  automate.setOkButtonEnabled(true);  
}  
function goOk(){  
  window.location="http://localhost/ok";  
}  
function goOkWithData(){  
  let v=document.getElementById("val").value;  
  window.location="http://localhost/ok?data="+encodeURIComponent(v);  
}  
function sendViaTitle(){  
  let v=document.getElementById("val").value;  
  document.title=v;  
  window.location="http://localhost/ok";  
}  
function goCancel(){  
  window.location="http://localhost/cancel";  
}  
function blockOk(){  
  window.addEventListener("automate.ok",function(e){e.preventDefault();});  
}  
</script>
</head>

<body>
<h3>Automate Web Dialog All Cases</h3>
<input id="val" type="text" placeholder="type something">
<button onclick="enableOk()">Enable OK</button>
<button onclick="goOk()">Redirect YES</button>
<button onclick="goOkWithData()">YES Data</button>
<button onclick="sendViaTitle()">Title YES</button>
<button onclick="goCancel()">Redirect NO</button>

Sorry, didn't work.

Please watch this screen recorded video demonstrating my issue.




I am not able to figure out why it's not working on my phone 😐.

The only difference from what i tested with was that is saved the HTML to a file, then loaded in using The File read block, to avoid having to escape { and ", etc..
If you enable the Debug logging option in Automate setting then you can use a flow to view the log that should then include browser JavaScript error, etc.

Hi Henrik, 

I used your approach to debug the issue with help of AI and below are the findings 

Device Info:
Model: Motorola
OS: Android 15
Automate Version: 1.50.0
WebView Provider: com.google.android.webview (144.0.7559.109 / 755910933)

I tried below steps: 

1. Removed android system webview updates, and got below logs.

Still issue not resolved, even though I am not getting the chromium error now.

Please find the flow link


And the system logs along with the exact code I ran and the html file I used.

As said, referencing the functions in the HTML before declaring them could be an issue.

Hi Henrik,

I retired with smallest possible code (plz refer screenshot).
1000189612.png
1000189613.png

Still the 'no' path is being triggered irrespective of I am clicking either 'yes' or 'no' on my Motorola Mobile.

Whereas, The same flow is working as expected on my another mobile (Samsung). The 'yes' path is being triggered on clicking 'yes' and vice-versa.

For debugging purposes, I have also collected logs from both the mobiles for both actions (clicking 'yes' and 'no' both), and added them below.

Also,
If you could atleast provide me any alternate approach to accomplish my goal. That would be also helpful as of now.

Goal: pop up a web page. User will input a value. This value will passed via a complex js function. And based on that either 'yes' or 'no' paths to be triggered.
Additionally,
I want to show some graph, and based on user preferences, I need to trigger onwards nodes.

Thank you

Further adding to the my above recent comment (just 5 mins ago)
+

Observations and Technical Summary:
I further discussed this with AI, and we observed the following regarding the behavior of the Dialog web block across my two devices:
  1. System-Level Forced Cancellation (The "Smoking Gun"): On the Motorola (Mobile M) running Android 15, the system is manually terminating the dialog activity. We observed the event WindowOnBackDispatcher: sendCancelIfRunning: isInProgress=false occurring immediately after a "YES" trigger attempt. This indicates that the Android 15 task manager or navigation dispatcher is force-closing the dialog before Automate can intercept the result.
  2. Path Convergence on Failure: We confirmed that on the Motorola, every action—whether it is an intentional "NO" (cancellation) or an intentional "YES" (via redirect or bridge)—leads to the NO path. This happens because the system reports a "Canceled" status rather than a "Finished" status to the app.
  3. Contrast in System Signals: The logs show a clear difference in how the OS handles the activity:
  4. Mobile S (Working): Shows a standard checkFinished=true state, meaning the app was allowed to close the window on its own terms.
  5. Mobile M (Failing): Shows the sendCancelIfRunning signal from the ViewRootImpl, meaning the OS took control and shut the window down.
  6. SELinux Security Friction: The logs for Mobile M consistently show avc: denied { read } for vendor_display_prop. While this is hardware-related, it confirms that the Motorola has a much more restrictive security environment (SELinux policy) that may be interfering with the WebView's internal communication.
  7. Failure of Alternative Methods: We observed that the issue persists even when moving away from URL redirects. Using the automate.setOkButtonEnabled(true) JavaScript bridge still results in the same system-level cancellation on the Motorola device.

The log is to look for messages for WebDialogActivity specifically, as those contains any JavaScript or other "browser" errors, everything else is irrelevant.

If the WebView is broken on your device then there's little an an app can do about it.
An alternative is to use the Dialog input block to ask for text input.

Nws. And Thank you for the confirmation.
