Configuration Steps

In order for your automation projects to benefit from the Robot JavaScript SDK, the following prerequisites need to be met:

Studio and Robot version 2019.10 or greater installed
A Robot connected to Orchestrator
The UiPath JavaScript Add-On installed on the Robot machine
The Robot JavaScript SDK

Important:
The Robot JavaScript SDK is provided out-of-the box for Studio Community Edition v2020.2 and Enterprise v2020.4 and greater. For Enterprise v2019.10 LTS a stand-alone Add-On installer is also available.

If you upgrade from v2019.10 to v2020.2 and later, you need to manually uninstall the UiPath Robot JS Add-on before running the Studio and Robot installer.

Once the UiPath JavaScript Add-On is installed, a prompt is displayed to allow your custom application or web page to connect to the Robot when a method is called. You can test it here.
