Development via text editor

Hi, I am a backend developer (Java/Moqui) and i was tasked to develop the bots at my company.As a developer i find it nonsensical to use the online tool to do any development for the bots.You lose too much. Git diff is one of the things i miss.Also, a lot of inconveniences pop up, Any undo (ctrl+z) is done silently. I can’t see where it is happening in the code or if it even happened. Same goes for accidental drag-and-drops.Most of all, I hate that all variables are global, lack of methods (yes, i know that bots are supposed to be the methods). The cherry on top is that i can’t write complex expressions in a single line. no lambdas…. Drag and drop assignments. The fact that my work is lost if i let the session timeout for any reason.In all it is a bad experience for me.My question is: Is there a way to write bots directly in an IDE?A VSCode plugin for example….And why is it not exposed in the first place. The result of the bot clearly has to be compiled/interpreted into intermediary la

Request advanced documentation

As a developer, I don’t like black boxes that much.I tried to understand how bot “actions” work on my own, but the documentation is lacking any depth.The one i am interested the most is Recorder Capture.Is there a way to know how they work? In depth docs ,or, if the source code is open, a link to the repo / wiki

Solution Pattern - Run Remote on Demand

This pattern - one of the most simple - involves logging in to the Control Room to execute the automatoin when required. The automation will execute on one or more unattended runners/devices.Use this pattern any time you need a process executed ad-hoc - ie. when/as required. This pattern is frequently used for automations supporting project activities including data migration / transformation, often required to upgrade/implement business systems. EXPERT TIP:  If human intervention is needed to resolve process exceptions identified during execution, consider use of the “Unattended + CoPilot” pattern.   Development Framework: Any Automation360 Development Framework can be used.Solution Design (SDD): A sample SDD is attached.  Administration: You’ll need a role defined that has access required to allow scheduling of an automation.  One or more ‘custom roles’ could be created for this purpose - see samples at the following link.How to Use: Follow these steps from the Automation Anywhere Do

Errors in DEV VMs

Just curious if anyone else is seeing this. We began seeing this issue a couple of months ago, and it is affecting all of my devs. During development, they all have the Control Room open on their main machine, and use a VM for running the code. Lately, whenever we try to use recorder, we get the following error:  This happens on all of our devs’ VMs, regardless of browser, and every single time (after the first time) they use the Recorder. We have uninstalled/reinstalled Bot Agent, and gone through the normal troubleshooting. I do notice this does not occur when launching Control Room inside the VM, but that is not idea for development either. Just curious if anyone else is seeing this before I open another ticket with support. Edit: I forgot to state that this error will come up 3 or 4 times after clicking Capture Object button. Even if we cancel with capture, it continues to pop up.

Solution Pattern - Conversational Automation (Remote via API)

This pattern involves invoking an automation from a ChatBot, by use the Control Room APIs.  The automation will execute on one or more unattended runners/devices. Use this pattern any time you need an external application to execution an automation.  EXPERT TIP:  There is a specific pattern dedicated to execution of automations based on a conversational/chatbot experience.  Check it out here.  Development Framework: Any Automation360 Development Framework can be used.  For this pattern, it is critical that there are ‘output values’ for the automations/taskbots that are called, that can be returned to the chatbot application.Solution Design (SDD): A sample SDD is attached.  Administration: You’ll need a role defined that can generate an API key, as well as role for the ‘runner’ that will execute the automation.  Several Control Room APIs are used to securely connect to the Control Room, and execute an automation.  One or more ‘custom roles’ could be created for this purpose - see sample

defer bot

Hi All, Long story short, bot should upload and processes a file in an application and it takes around 30-60 mins to generate an output file. I cannot let other jobs to wait until it generates an output file and get it placed in BUs folder post processing. Can you please suggest how I could defer bot to check if file exists after sometime, instead of wait or delay action? Thanks

Record Capture issue: oracle flexcube

We are using oracle flexcube and we want to automate some stuff.The way flexcube works is by opening a single browser tab and INSIDE it open multiple virtual windows. Each window is its own HTML component. So you have:<html> .... <html>component 1</html> ..... <html>component 2</html> .....</html>please note that the html tag is in under a “document”the “windows” are dragable and can overlap (z-axis overlap i guess).Flexcube automatically opens the “windows” with a prefixed size and position, so most of the time, the window headers titles and minimize/close buttons overlap perfectly.At runtime, when Record Capture tries to click a button, it looks in the first inner <html> tag even if the focus (max z-axis available index) is on another window, which is fine since I am using HTML, but it is unintuitive for other users. It always ends up finding the wrong button.I have tried removing DOMxPath, and path. I also tried adding OuterHT

Since I’m not running it via a bot runner.
