Configuration Steps

Prerequisites

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
  • 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 v2020.4 and greater. For Studio 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.

Allowing access

When the UiPath Robot JavaScript Add-On is run, you need to provide access to your custom application or web page to connect to the Robot.

The access is handled by a two-step dialog. Both steps have to be confirmed in order to run RobotJS. They can be automated as described below.

Browser access dialog

This step refers to the browser requesting permissions to open the UiPath Assistant.

Automatically accepting the Browser access dialog
It can be automated by adding the uipath-web://* value as a trusted (allowed) url in the browser's settings. The uipath-web://* refers to the UiPath Robot web protocol handler.
Note: Based on the browser used, different settings need to be configured. For example, if you are using Google Chrome, follow the steps described in the Google Chrome URLAllowList documentation.
