Good day,
It would be great if CodedWorkflows would have an Async variant.
Right now it’s pretty awkward to invoke Async code in UiPath (doable in a couple ways, but a bit cumbersome with all of them).
This would be very useful for at least following cases:
- Existing vendor SDK’s
- File and content streaming
- Easy parallelization
- Eliminate the need to write one-off custom activities when something needs to step into async and/or to use pre-await-async task methods
Hey Andrzej,
Starting with Studio 24.10, we also provide an async version - just switch your Execute method to async Task, async Task<string> or async Task<(string Output1, string Output2> in order to use async.
We definitely need to document this better and make it easier to discover in Studio.
Hope this helps!
Thanks,
Alvin
Thanks Alvin, indeed didn’t know this was a thing (was looking for ExecuteAsync or similar pattern).
Just did a quick test on parallelized async invokes, and seems to be working as expected. It will be a great asset on new projects with that version.
For discoverability, maybe something like this would be enough for starters?
