Cross-platform automation projects are designed to run cross-platform on Windows, Linux, and macOS operating systems. With the UI Automation activity package, you can create Chrome browser-based automation projects that run cross-platform.
The following Modern activities have been modified and made available in this project type, as follows:
- Use Application/Browser
- Check App State
- Check/Uncheck
- Click
- Get Text
- Get URL
- Go to URL
- Hover
- Highlight
- Inject Js Script
- Keyboard Shortcuts
- Mouse Scroll
- Navigate Browser
- Select Item
- Take Screenshot
- Type Into
Also, there are three OCR Engines available:
Supported browsers:
- Chrome on Windows, Linux, and macOS
- Microsoft Edge on Windows
Being tailored for a multitude of platforms, the activities used by Cross-platform projects have a slightly different behavior when compared to the normal ones and have been, in some cases, stripped of some features, to ensure compatibility. Below you can find a list of these differences.
Use Application/Browser
This activity is renamed to Use Browser and is no longer suitable for indicating anything else than browser windows. Also, the Resize window and Window attach mode properties are no longer available.
Input Methods
The Hardware Events input method is not supported in Cross-platform automation. Thus, the Simulate and Chromium API input methods are the only available input methods.
The Click, Hover, and Type Into activities only support the Same As Browser, Simulate, and Chromium API input methods.
The Use Browser activity only supports the Simulate and Chromium API input methods.
The Keyboard Shortcuts activity only supports Chromium API.
Targeting Methods
Only Chrome is supported, and targets are only generated by using Strict Selectors and Fuzzy Selectors, without Image and Native Text.
Project Settings
The available Project Settings categories are:
- Generic -> All Project Settings
- Targeting Methods Web -> Strict Selector, Fuzzy Selector, Enable Anchors, Ignore IDX, Input Modes for Simulate and Chromium API.
- Application/Browser -> Close, Open, UserDataMode, UserDataFolder.
- OtherActivities -> CheckAppState, Hover.
- KeyboardEvents -> ClickBeforeTyping, Empty Field.
Capture All Elements
To be able to use the Capture All Elements feature, the mandatory Computer Vision API Key and URL are displayed in the Project Settings.
CursorMotionType
Since it is based on the Hardware Events input mehtod, the CursorMotionType property is removed from the Click and Hover activities.
Automations created with cross-platform projects can run on Windows, Linux robots, and macOS via the UiPath Assistant.
On Windows, you can run attended automations serverless from Microsoft Edge.
