Scheduling Tasks: Save the script as HTML (plus autorun) is no longer available

UI.Vision RPA General Discussion

Here: [Resolved] Schedule a script to run
To schedule a task has a provided solution…
Solution: save the script as HTML (plus autorun) then schedule it with Task Scheduler.
… but this is no longer available.

I assume Task Scheduler is still used to trigger but how is it that I should export or reference a script / macro since this is no longer an option through this method, what alternative methods are available?

Original exported html file is :

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <title>UI.Vision Shortcut Page</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h3>Command line:</h3>
    <a id="run" href="ui.vision.html?direct=1&closeRPA=1&closeBrowser=1&savelog=log.txt&macro=TEST.json">Click here</a>
    <br>
    <br>
	<!-- To start another macro just edit this HTML file and change the macro name in the command line above^. -->
	<!-- For more command line parameters see https://ui.vision/rpa/docs#cmd -->
    <script>
      window.location.href = document.getElementById("run").getAttribute("href");
    </script>
  </body>
</html>

We need a command use browser to view the above html file:

@echo off
echo Start TEST

set "fx32Path=C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"
set "fx64Path=C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"
set "macroFP=file:///D:/uivision/start-TEST.html"


REM check 64 bit version
if exist "%fx64Path%" (
    start "" "%fx64Path%" -headless -p "PPP" -new-window "%macroFP%"
    exit
)

REM No 64 bit version installed, check 32 bit version
if exist "%fx32Path%" (
    start "" "%fx32Path%" -headless -p "PPP" -new-window "%macroFP%"
    exit
)

REM neither to show error
echo No FX Installed

I’m trying browser command in bat to view ui.vision.html and run Macro directly:

@echo off
echo Start TEST

set "fx32Path=C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"
set "fx64Path=C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"
set "macroFP=file:///D:/uivision/ui.vision.html?macro=TEST"


REM check 64 bit version
if exist "%fx64Path%" (
    start "" "%fx64Path%" -headless -p "PPP" -new-window "%macroFP%&direct=1&closeRPA=1&closeBrowser=1&savelog=log.txt"
    exit
)

REM No 64 bit version installed, check 32 bit version
if exist "%fx32Path%" (
    start "" "%fx32Path%" -headless -p "PPP" -new-window "%macroFP%&direct=1&closeRPA=1&closeBrowser=1&savelog=log.txt"
    exit
)

REM neither to show error
echo No FX Installed

Where is ui.vision.html? set “macroFP=file:///D:/uivision/ui.vision.html?macro=TEST”. I have a ‘start-TEST.html’, the batch file, but it is looking for ui.vision.html.

TY. That was the missing piece to the puzzle.
