Cross-Browser Scripting (CBS)

Voodoo RPA Cross-Browser Scripting (CBS)

What is CBS?

CBS or CBS Object is a communication model between Voodoo RPA and your web browsers installed on your OS. CBS is an abbreviation for “Cross-Browser Scripting”. When RPA Developers design a scenario using Voodoo Studio, they may want to directly send the script to the browser. This script can be any standard that the browser knows i.e. pure Javascript or jQuery. By the way, Voodoo Browser Extensions (Chrome or Firefox) automatically inject jQuery API to your target web application. So, whether your site using jQuery or not, RPA developers directly write jQuery in creating the CBS Object using CBS Object Creator on Voodoo Studio.

That technology is the Voodoo EDE Library. By default, it comes with Voodoo RPA 2.0 or higher versions. You can manually download this library from here and add it to your EDE file references.

Methods

Example #1 (Pure Script)

namespace VoodooImplementation {
    using System;  
    using VooDooCommonData.CommonInterface;
    using VooDooCommonData.InstanceData;
    
    using System.Collections.Generic;
    using System.Linq;
    using CBSLoader;
    
    public class ComputationEvaluator : System.MarshalByRefObject, IPlugInComputation {

        /// Default Constructor for class
        public ComputationEvaluator() {
        }
        
        public bool result {
            get {

            }
        }
        
        /// Calculate
        public virtual void ExecuteComputation() {
            
            CBS CBSObj = new CBS();
            int id = CBSObj.send("var name = $(\".izquierda:eq(0)\").text(); var age = $(\".izquierda:eq(2)\").text(); result = name + '|' + age;");
            Dictionary<int, string> result = CBSObj.check(id, 5000);

            if(result.First().Key == 2) {
                string[] resultA = result.First().Value.Split('|');
                planDataInstanceManager_.SetDataTableValueFromCurrentDataRowIndex(5, "name", resultA[0]);
                planDataInstanceManager_.SetDataTableValueFromCurrentDataRowIndex(5, "age", resultA[1]);

            }
            
        }
    }
}

Example #2 (CBS Object)

In this example that is assumed: You create CBS Object name “myCBSObject” and below is code in this object.

var name = $(".izquierda:eq({:nameIndex})").text(); 
var age = $(".izquierda:eq({:ageIndex})").text(); 
result = JSON.stringify([name, age]);

Example #3 (CBS Object For Non-Ascii Characters)

This example is about getting content that includes non-ascii characters from browser like Emojis.
In this example that is assumed: You create CBS Object name “myCBSObject” and below is code in this object.

var topic = $(".feed-shared-update-v2__description-wrapper div div span span span").eq(0).text();
var like = $("div.social-details-social-activity > ul > li.social-details-social-counts__reactions.social-details-social-counts__item > button > span").eq(1).text();

Example #4 (CBS Object For Non-Ascii Characters and Multidimensional Data Retrieve)

This example is about getting content that includes non-ascii characters like ‘Emojis’ and multidimensional data like ‘Table’.
In this example that is assumed: You create CBS Object name “getComments” and below is code in this object.

comments = [];
$("#tabPanelProComments ul").find('li').each(function(key){
	comment = [];
	var current = $(this);
	comment[0] = current.find('.ratingCont span').attr('class');
	comment[1] = encodeURIComponent(current.find('.commentTitle').text());
	comment[2] = encodeURIComponent(current.find('p').text());
	comments[key] = comment;

result = JSON.stringify(comments);

$('html, body').animate({scrollTop: $(".pagination").offset().top - 100}, 1000);

Example #5 (If there is a point in the ID)

In this type of error, If there is a period in the id number, you will receive an error.

• Example – 5

Subject	Description
Problem	If the element we reach with CBS is the ID number and there is a dot in it, it receives an error.
Solution	Reached element”.”before” / / ” should be put.(eq //.)

var fırsatNo = $("#gsft_main").contents().find("#sys_display\\.incident\\.u_opportunity").val(123);
var fırsatKalem = $("#gsft_main").contents().find("#sys_display\\.incident\\.u_line_item").val(123);

var kapanma = $("#gsft_main").contents().find('#incident\\.close_code').val("Converted to CR");
