Studio user guide
UiPath Studio and UI Automation activities support the automation of web applications running on different browsers, including the Chromium-based browsers Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge. Browser extensions are available for each of these browsers.
You can also use the UiPath extension for Chrome to automate other Chromium-based browsers, such as Island Enterprise Browser or Talon Enterprise Browser.
To build and run web automations on other Chromium-based browsers, take the following steps:
Install the UiPath extension for Chrome using the Native Host Only installation method
This installation method enables communication between the extension and Studio/Robot without changing the Group Policies.
To install the extension for Chrome using Native Host Only, use one of the following methods:
-
In UiPath Studio, navigate to Home > Tools > UiPath Extensions. For the Chrome extension, select Native Host Only from the methods drop-down list, and select Install.
-
Run the SetupExtensions tool from the command line:
"C:\Program Files\UiPath\Studio\UiPath\SetupExtensions.exe" /chromenativehostglobal"C:\Program Files\UiPath\Studio\UiPath\SetupExtensions.exe" /chromenativehostglobal -
Run
UiPathStudio.msiand add theCHROME_INSTALL_TYPE=NativeHostOnlyparameter to the installation command. For example:UiPathStudio.msi ADDLOCAL=DesktopFeature,Studio,Robot,RegisterService,ChromeExtension CHROME_INSTALL_TYPE=NativeHostOnlyUiPathStudio.msi ADDLOCAL=DesktopFeature,Studio,Robot,RegisterService,ChromeExtension CHROME_INSTALL_TYPE=NativeHostOnly
Install the UiPath extension for Chrome in your browser
- Open the Chromium-based browser. Go to the Chrome Web Store link of the extension you want to install (see the List of extensions for Chrome). For example, for version 24.10, go to: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/uipath-browser-automation/pgbnimfaaifjpebleldfhgcjdnaeafdi.
- Add the extension to your browser (for example, for the Island browser, select Add to Island).
- Restart the browser.
Result
The UiPath extension for Chrome is installed in the Chromium-based browser. You can now automate web applications running in that browser.
Example
For the Island browser, to check if the extension for Chrome is installed and enabled, navigate to island://extensions/. Make sure the extension is installed and enabled as shown in the following image:
You may need to add the Chrome extension ID to the allowlist for your account (e.g., pgbnimfaaifjpebleldfhgcjdnaeafdi for version 24.10).
