taskt (pronounced 'tasked' and formely sharpRPA) is free and open-source robotic process automation (rpa) built in C# powered by the .NET Framework

taskt (formerly sharpRPA) is the first truly free, easy to use, and open-source process automation client built on the .NET Framework in C#. taskt allows you to build and design process automation without needing to write application code.

branch	build status
master
development-branch

taskt allows you to automate the boring stuff and create efficienies by giving you the power to craft a digital workforce that executes and performs rule-based automation. No API? No Problem! Included is a "what you see is what you get" bot designer with dozens of automation commands. An element recorder and screen recorder is also included that can record and replay scripted automation.

taskt works by allowing a bot developer to design a bot configuration known as a script. The bot configuration is then intepreted by a script engine at run-time and executes against the bot developer's selected parameter inputs. Each command contains the definitions for the required inputs as well as the required logic at run-time. Please check out the Wiki for basic documenation surrounding the application and the available commands

taskt can perform automation on both web and desktop applications, simulating the actions a person would do. From swivel-chair data entry to report generation, taskt can handle your automation needs. Prefer to write and implement code? taskt can use your existing .NET DLLs and services additionally with the ability to compile code on the fly using the Custom Code command! taskt can start and stop processes, launch VB and PowerShell scripts, work directly with Excel workbooks, and perform OCR (OneNote installation required) among many other functions. You can review all the automation commands by clicking here.

CURRENTLY IN ALPHA Manage and orchestrate your digital workforce with taskt's optional server component that allows you to publish and execute tasks remotely as well as monitor the overall health of your bots and discover metrics around your robot workers.

Find and download the latest signed release by clicking HERE. Extract to any folder and double-click 'taskt.exe'. taskt will ask if you want to create a scripts folder to store your scripts as well as copy and deploy sample files. You can also build directly from source -- take the latest from the master branch!

taskt is free for both personal and commercial use. taskt is licensed under the Apache 2.0 License -- see LICENSE.md for further details. As a community-driven project, the goal of taskt is to give everyone, big or small, the ability to build and deploy process automation.

Feel free to open up a feature request or report a bug/issue.

taskt's Issues

More useful error handling

@saucepleez at current version we have only two ways if error is thrown in command:
continue or stop. Can you modify it like try catch finally in c#. I mean if error is thrown, then i can do some commands or if it ok - then some commans. Maybe it could be added to types for command If an addition to other... Like this:

1. Error Handling [Action: Continue Processing]
2. Activate Window [Target Window: Skype]

3. If Error thrown
   

4.      // Comment: Items in this section will run if the statement is true
   

5.      Show Message [Message: There is now window opened like Skype]
   

6. Else
   

7.      Show Message [Message: All ok, i'll activate window]
   

8. End If
   

Error Handling may save Exception string to variable )

Error when open command If equal

@saucepleez today i'll pull all commits and then test my script, but have error when run:

And when i try to change this command by double click on it, then have error too:
error.txt

Here

I'll check other If command where type is Value - same error.

Add Schedule Task Command

Create a command that schedules a task to be run with specified parameters (run once, multiple times, etc)

Restructure Command Checks

Instead of consistently checking if the parentCommand matches a type

if ((parentCommand is Core.AutomationCommands.BeginNumberOfTimesLoopCommand) || (parentCommand is Core.AutomationCommands.BeginContinousLoopCommand) || (parentCommand is Core.AutomationCommands.BeginListLoopCommand) || (parentCommand is Core.AutomationCommands.BeginIfCommand) || parentCommand is Core.AutomationCommands.BeginExcelDatasetLoopCommand)

Create an Extension Method or some other way to easily check:

Command.IsType(Loop) or parentCommand is LoopCommand

WildCards in selector and window names

@saucepleez it will be great feature if we can use wildcards like * in Windows names and selectors in browsers and gui. Sometimes window name is dynamic and depends on inner data in application like number or unread messages and so on.

Add GUI element exists on if Command types

@saucepleez it is a great idea - to have option Web Element Exists in types of If Command and it will be great to have same type for GUI applications.

Date Format error

Date format error

This a mistake and must be deleted. It is working fine.

Review Task Variable Conversion

Review Task Variable Conversion. Variables should not convert like v_TaskVar.ConvertToUserVariable(sender) because of the consequences within loops. Instead, a local variable should be created such as `var tempVar = v_TaskVar.ConvertToUserVariable(sender);

Possibility to add task command to any position in sequence

Example. A have sequence of commands. Then, i need to add some commands to the middle of my sequence. I add it consequentially and then move it by mouse to exact positions. Maybe we can analize current cursor position in sequence at right and add new command after it? Or maybe there are drag&drop function from left to right?

reading excel error

When you run an excel file twice. then you get this error:

an item with the same key already been added

necessary to choose different path to taskt directory.

necessary to choose different path to taskt directory. Instead of static path to document directory.

errror while building source code on my machine

When i am building the source code on my machine i am gettting the error

Source file 'taskt-master\taskt\Core\SocketServer.cs' could not be found.

Define Variables by a specific type

Variables currently do not allow a type (number, string, decimal, list, etc) to be specified. Potentially look at adding functionality to override default behavior and allow the user to select the type of variable and enforce variables against known types.

Format Data stopped working

@saucepleez till some commits, command Format Data broken. I have simple script, that early worked fine.
birthDate.xml.txt

Early i have result 22.11.1982

Expand viriables window

@saucepleez it will be great if you can expand variables selection window. Maybe it's possible to 80-90 percent of parent window?

Add feature for copy-paste many actions and feature to cut-paste many actions

@saucepleez hi. On context menu on rigth mouse button we have Copy Selected Action, but it will be great to have Copy Selected Actions and Cut Selected Actions

Error and stop task from scheduler

@saucepleez hi. If i run taskt, then open my script - all ok. But, if i create from application task in windows scheduler and run it, TaskT starts, open my script and then fail/break. Here the log:

Date Calculations

Users should be able to specify calculation logic specifically for dates.

version taskt.v1.9.2.0

Try to run you sample script Date Format. see error log

Add find element by CSS selector to Element action Web automation

Hi, it will be great if you can add find by CSS warinat to Element action filter.
In selenium i'll take this command: .FindElementByCssSelector("")
Thanks!

Feature for using variable values in Comment commands

@saucepleez . For track and support scripts it will be great if i can add variable values into the Add Come Comment like this:

Add Schedule Task Command

Add Command that allows for task scheduling and execution

It stops when you use the End key.

Hello, saucepleez
I use taskt, but when I want to scroll to the bottom of the screen
If you enter {END}, processing stops halfway.
Is there any good solution?

Add 'Exit Loop' Command

During Loop execution, users should have the ability to break out of loops by using an 'Exit Loop' Command. The command can be buried within conditional commands.

Error in new script in first command

Hi @saucepleez . I Create new script, then double click to command Text Extraction, then add follow:

after click OK i have:

Full text error in this window:
FullErrorText.txt

If i click Continue - all ok and i can do what i need. If then i double click to this existing command and click again Ok - there are no error.

Pause Script appears to automatically un-pause the script

Selecting the pause option on the engine pauses the script, but then the script resumes.

Add String.Replace() command

@saucepleez it will be great idea, if we can use String.Replace() command near TaskT scripts. How you think?

UI Automation can't automate with CurrentWindow

Hi @saucepleez . I'll try your new command UI Automation )
I select Click Element, then select Current Window, then click record and place attributes
When i go script i have an error:

If Command - Active Window Name

If Command - If Action Window Name is X is throwing not implemented exception for if commands.

"If Type Not Recognized"

Eliminate Clipboard Commands

Clipboard commands should not have their own group, assign to Misc commands instead.

DLL Explorer should fill in the command

When UI selections are made in the DLL Explorer form, the form should present an option to use those settings in the currently opened command. Currently, you have to copy and paste the commands manually.

Error in running task with excel process

Hello Jason
I make this one short.
Version 1.8.2.0 works as it should be when running tasks when working with excel and naming it default.
I can run it again and again without getting any errors at all.

But with version 2.0.0.1 i get errors when running it more than once.

And why is your "Dropbox" mentioned in the code.

I would really like to make use of taskt in production related work. But it is not stable yet.
Your version 1.8.2.0 works really good and i will stick to this. Until you got a more stable update.
Hope the info helped.

Error in UI Automation and Click UI Item

Hi @saucepleez. Yesterday i'll check my script in last dev-branch version and have error:

Then i'll try this action by UI Automation and have similar error:
2018-10-26 08:56:29.883 +03:00 [INF] Running Line 28: UI Automation [Left Click element in window 'Current Window'] 2018-10-26 08:56:30.665 +03:00 [INF] Result Code: Error 2018-10-26 08:56:30.665 +03:00 [INF] Error: System.Exception: System.FormatException: Входная строка имела неверный формат. в System.Number.StringToNumber(String str, NumberStyles options, NumberBuffer& number, NumberFormatInfo info, Boolean parseDecimal) в System.Number.ParseInt32(String s, NumberStyles style, NumberFormatInfo info) в System.Int32.Parse(String s) в taskt.Core.AutomationCommands.SendMouseMoveCommand.RunCommand(Object sender) в C:\src\taskt\taskt\Core\AutomationCommands.cs:строка 2278 в taskt.Core.AutomationCommands.UIAutomationCommand.RunCommand(Object sender) в C:\src\taskt\taskt\Core\AutomationCommands.cs:строка 2808 в taskt.Core.AutomationEngineInstance.ExecuteCommand(ScriptAction command) в C:\src\taskt\taskt\Core\AutomationEngine.cs:строка 225 в taskt.Core.AutomationEngineInstance.ExecuteCommand(ScriptAction command) в C:\src\taskt\taskt\Core\AutomationEngine.cs:строка 246 в taskt.Core.AutomationEngineInstance.ExecuteScript(String filePath) в C:\src\taskt\taskt\Core\AutomationEngine.cs:строка 110

At first i think that problem in complex window name:
Here it:

ТАНАИС / Рубцов Валерий / Управление небольшой фирмой, редакция 1.5 + CRM, редакция 2.0 (1.5.4.34/2.0.9.6). Разработано совместно с "1С-Рарус" тел: [phone] [email protected] www.rarus.ru

But earler similar command works good in same windows name.

This commands and whole script works great in 1.9.3.0

Returning an according text by number or added to one string

Found a malfunction:
every command, I am trying to get the data, returns the first according value, but not the others.
Examples:
I try Element Action to get text from field found by CSS Selector. I use some selector that will find a lot of fields(as "div.parametrs .registerBox" where registerBox is a class of more than one element on page), but all I got is contents of the first .registerBox element and... that's all.
Okay, I set the selector to get the parent element text("div.parametrs") and get string, containing my information. But when I am trying to use the RegEx Extraction to get exactly those strings that I need at last, it gives me the good result in first iteration(I increase the Select Matching Group Index attribute in every loop) and empty in the others.
Please could you help me - show the working regex string or repair that bug?

Excel operations like in Workfusion

Hello saucepleez about excel looping and lists functionalities. i would recommend just for the curiosity to look at : https://www.workfusion.com/rpa-express/. I think that the Taskt is much more faster and better performance than WorkFusion. Take a look at the specific excel operations in workfusion. (Those we need) and also variable types.

Json Parse Command

Add Command that parses json and allows looping like a list.

Take sample JSON:

{ 'Stores': [ 'Lambton Quay', 'Willis Street' ], 'Manufacturers': [ { 'Name': 'Acme Co', 'Products': [ { 'Name': 'Anvil', 'Price': 50 } ] }, { 'Name': 'Contoso', 'Products': [ { 'Name': 'Elbow Grease', 'Price': 99.95 }, { 'Name': 'Headlight Fluid', 'Price': 4 } ] } ] }

User can specify something like $..Products[?(@.Price >= 50)].Name to get all items above 50 dollars price and loop each item found.

Customizable Delay between commands executing

Allow a customization to specify delay between commands executing. The standard delay is currently 250ms.

Stop Current Task not working as expected

'Stop Current Task' is not stopping the task when the command is run. This is due to the engine changes made in the last major deployment.

Show user line number of script command

@saucepleez i think, it will be useful to have line numbers of script. I explain. When i write scitpt over 30-40 commands, if i have error in script, i read the log, receive error line and then i need to find it in my script.
Another option. When scirpt starts we see the orange line that running around the script commands, but if my script don't shrink the window, i can't see this line sometimes. It will be great if you can stay oragne line at the middle of the window...

Indexed working elements and lists

Hello. Could you add a variable support for fields Element Search Parameter in Element Action? To access those elements depending on variables set before?
And is there any way to get the list content outside of Loop List command? Can I take the value by index?

Posibility to find and iteract GUI element by class, type and other

Recently i using [https://github.com/Roemer/FlaUI] to automate GUI applications, there we can specify some criteries to find GUI elements. For example, i have applications witch elements have the same names and different ControlType...

Other side - using [https://github.com/2gis/Winium.Desktop] - they try to do all automation by selenium style.
Look here:

And here:

I'll say right away, that i can't work with AutomationID becose it is changing after each start of application.

Many web systems only need the short date string. And it is a hell to manupilate Datime.Now and remove the last time digits.
