Settings fields
The Settings property of the Robot JavaScript SDK allows you to personalize and improve your control over the setup of the browser add-on.
class Settings {
portNumber: number;
pollTimeInterval: number;
disableTelemetry: boolean;
appOrigin: string;
}class Settings {
portNumber: number;
pollTimeInterval: number;
disableTelemetry: boolean;
appOrigin: string;
}| Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
portNumber | Allows you to configure custom ports on which the back-end services run on. The default port number is 2323. Please note that this is only available for Enterprise installations. |
pollTimeInterval | Allows you to specify the time in milliseconds in which the Robot JavaScript SDK keeps track of a process execution from a web page. The default value is 250 milliseconds. This value determines the polling frequency from the web browser |
disableTelemetry | Allows you to disable the telemetry flag. The default value is false.
|
appOrigin | Allows you to specify the application which uses the SDK. The default value is picked up from the window.location.origin class.
|
const robot = UiPathRobot.init();
robot.settings.portNumber = 1234;
robot.settings.pollTimeInterval = 1000;
robot.settings.disableTelemetry = true;
robot.settings.appOrigin = 'MyApp';const robot = UiPathRobot.init();
robot.settings.portNumber = 1234;
robot.settings.pollTimeInterval = 1000;
robot.settings.disableTelemetry = true;
robot.settings.appOrigin = 'MyApp';In order to change add-on settings you need to create a configuration file named
RobotJSAddOn.config in the Robot Add-on folder, namely:
C:\ProgramData\UiPath\Robot JS Add-on\RobotJSAddOn.config
The configuration file needs to contain the following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<appSettings>
<add key="ListenerPort" value="2323" />
<add key="PortDiscoveryServiceEndpoint" value="http://127.0.0.1:2323" />
<add key="TokenExpiryInDays" value="30" />
<add key="AuthenticationProtocol" value="Custom" />
</appSettings><?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<appSettings>
<add key="ListenerPort" value="2323" />
<add key="PortDiscoveryServiceEndpoint" value="http://127.0.0.1:2323" />
<add key="TokenExpiryInDays" value="30" />
<add key="AuthenticationProtocol" value="Custom" />
</appSettings>|

Description |
|---|---|
|
|
The
UiPath.RobotJS.ServiceHost.exe starts a HttpListener on the configured port and contains the information about other local listeners from the active user session on that system.
Please note that the port value here needs to match the one configured in the SDK Settings.
|
|
|
The
UiPath.RobotJS.UserHost.exe starts a HttpListener on a random port and registers if the listener is running from the UiPath.RobotJS.ServiceHost.exe process. The local listener running on the user session needs to know on which port and endpoint the HttpListener from the UiPath.RobotJS.ServiceHost.exe is running.
|
|
|
Any request coming from a new domain needs to have consent from the user to allow access of UiPath® Robots from a web application. These consents are valid for the said number of days mentioned in this setting. |
|
|
The HttpListener instances communicate among themselves using encrypted user information. By default our custom encryption is used to determine
user information on the Robot requests. Changing this value to
““ falls back to NTML authentication provided by Windows. Please note that if settings are changed to use NTLM authentication, the browser settings also need to be changed to allow to Windows usernames to be sent along with the requests. This is done
as follows:
|
It is possible to customize the consent screen displayed when a request is raised from a new domain. There are currently two screens that are delivered with the Robot JavaScript SDK:
Consent Prompt
The
consent-prompt overlay is displayed when a request to access the UiPath® Assistant is raised from a new domain.
Missing Components
The
missing-components overlay is displayed when the required add-on is not present on the local machine.
Overlay messages can be configured as exemplified below.
// Consent code will be written to the console instead of showing default overlay
// Error logged to console when required components are missing insread of showing
// default error overlay
const robot = UiPathRobot.init();
robot.on('consent-prompt', function(consentCode){ console.log(consentCode) });
robot.on('missing-components', function(){ console.log('Missing components') });// Consent code will be written to the console instead of showing default overlay
// Error logged to console when required components are missing insread of showing
// default error overlay
const robot = UiPathRobot.init();
robot.on('consent-prompt', function(consentCode){ console.log(consentCode) });
robot.on('missing-components', function(){ console.log('Missing components') });class Settings {
