"UiPath Assistant is required to complete this action." but it is already installed

Hi all,
I have the UiPath Assistant installed.
When I try to use an app that helps me create test cases, I get two errors, and a pop-up appears with the message “The UiPath Assistant is required to complete this action.
Don’t have the UiPath Assistant? Get it now.” When I click Get it Now, I’m redirected to a page that says “You already have UiPathRobot.js!”

Any ideas on how to fix this? I already have all the necessary permissions on the app side.

Thank you!

Hey @Gisel_Luana_Centeno,

This issue usually happens if UiPath Assistant is installed but not properly connected or registered with the browser extension (UiPathRobot.js). Try reinstalling the UiPath Chrome/Edge extension, restart UiPath Assistant, and sign in again to Orchestrator. If the error persists, clear browser cache and re-enable the extension.

Hi @Gisel_Luana_Centeno

might be after an auto-update, these processes usually restart automatically, but sometimes they don’t. If the “UiPath.RobotJs.UserHost.exe” process isn’t running, try restarting your computer first.
This should restart all processes and fix issues caused by something going wrong during the auto-update or temp issue.

If helpful, mark as solution. Happy automation with UiPath
