Robot release notes
2024.10.10
Release Date: April 2, 2025
Background jobs in headless-with-user mode now also work with smartcard credentials, not just username and password.
We’ve implemented several accessibility fixes for the Robot session window (picture-in-picture).
-
After a machine was idle or locked, the Robot Service failed to reconnect to Orchestrator. It kept using a broken connection indefinitely. The connection to Orchestrator has a finite lifetime, with a default of 30 minutes. You can adjust this duration using
UIPATH_HTTP_CONNECTION_LIFETIME, an environment variable that defines the connection lifetime in seconds. -
In very rare instances, the Robot Service incorrectly detected an interactive job as in progress, preventing new jobs from starting. The error message "Another interactive job is running for this user. A user can run a single interactive job at a time." was displayed, even when no jobs were running. This happened due to an improper service-level status update, which caused jobs to get stuck in terminating or stopping states.
