RoboTask forum

Hi
Would it be possible to automate import and execution of a robotask task file? So i could have another program to generate the task file, and robotask to automaticaly add it to the task list.
Thanks, J.H

Hi,

I have a similar need.

I have another program that can create .tsk files. I
would like to import those new .tsk files into Robotask
automatically and enable them so they can be executed,
without restarting Robotask.

Is there a way to do that ?

Thanks,

Maxime Lagacé

This is impossible right now.
The task must exists when RoboTask is starting. Only task editor can add the task to actual task list.

I wrote this into our ToDo.

Thanks for you quick reply.

I have another question.

If I manually create a .tsk file and put it in the
Robotask's tasks folder, without important it with the
interface, is it supposed to work ?

I tried it, but I experienced some problems. For
example,
the .tsk I created dissapeared, but other time, it
didn't.
Is it normal ?

Also, do you have a road map or Todo list available for
public ?

Yes. The task name must correspond to the task ID.
When RoboTask imports external tasks it check them for correctness and make necessary changes.

Also, do you have a road map or Todo list available for
public ?

No. It is our internal document. But you can put any suggestions or feature-requests into Suggestions.

How can I make the task name corresponds to the task ID ?
Is there a logic ?

I would like to be able to create tasks (.tsk files)
without the interface (manually).

I hope it's possible.

The filename of the task is the task ID in Hex.

For example:
TaskID = 413220029
in HEX it is 18A13CBD
so the filename of the task is 18A13CBD.tsk

Also, the taskID must be unique in the task collection.

If you import task from external file RoboTask checks task parameters and make necessary corrections automatically
