I am working on Windows server 2019 with UiPath 21.10.4 community edition and latest chrome extension.
Chrome web automation extension was working with the previous community version of studio and previous extension. However, UiPath is not able to communicate through web extension. I am getting and errands “Can not communicate with Chrome. Please check web extension.”
I tried reinstalling both UiPath studio and chrome but I am not able to resolve the problem.
Anyone has any idea what could be the issue? I have installed studio on my profile and there is another system administrator profile is there on the server.
Did you enable the extension after installing it? Also, the install is for current user only. If you have users BobJ and TimT on ServerA, you have to log into ServerA as BobJ, install and enable, then log out, then log in as TimT, install and enable, etc.
Yes, I enabled it from the chrome. I also enabled “Allow in incognito” and “Allow access to file”.
I have UiPath installed by system administrator account and I installed Chrome. When I installed extension from UiPath, it says UiPath extension for chrome was installed via policy per system.
The version I have installed is the latest stable version. I have the same combination of studio and web automation extension version working on my personal laptop.
Log in as whichever user the automation will run under (ie the username defined in the Robot in Orchestrator). Go into Chrome (Settings, Extensions) and manually remove the UiPath plugin. Then open Studio and go to the Home tab, click Tools, and install the Chrome extension from there. Then enable it in Chrome. Do all of this logged in as whichever user you will run the automation with. Usually Robots are service accounts, not user logins.
