TagUI in TURBO mode at 20-30X faster in exchange for reliability - for some users

[kensoh]

as above, below attached special version on request of some users

[kensoh]

Download this zip file turbo_tagui.zip, unzip and copy the 2 files to overwrite what you have in tagui/src folder.

Websites and apps are not designed for superhuman speed. Using above will let TagUI's Chrome integration run at max speed, and also change the typing behaviour from character by character to all text at one go. This may cause website validation events to not trigger and work correctly. Running at max speed your laptop CPU will also become pretty hot.

Use at your own risk and backup your files beforehand!

PS - attached files are based on TagUI v6.21, and the hack target web applications. For a complete walkthrough of the hack and to also hack the speed for desktop apps using visual automation, see this tebelorg/RPA-Python#120 (comment)

Above turbo_tagui.zip will do both 1 and 2 below -

1. run Chrome at max automation speed at 100% CPU
2. type text instantly instead of character by character

Below are zip files for the 2 changes separately - (in case 1 of the hack breaks your automation)

1. Turbo_Mode.zip - run Chrome at max automation speed at 100% CPU
2. Instant_Typing.zip - type text instantly instead of character by character

Hi @kensoh
I tried the different turbo files (above ZIP files) on windows. At start i got on error "ERROR - can't find variable: download_path" on 2 ZIP files i used.

Instant_Typing.zip was OK
Turbo_Mode.zip was not OK
turbo_tagui.zip was not OK

After comparing the files i found the part in the none turbo "tagui_header.js" file:

// to track download path if set by user using 'download to location' step
var download_path = '';

After i added this missing code snipet to the "turbo tagui_header.js" all went fine. So my question is if the missing code snipet was maybe accidentally deleted?

Hi @Flipsand the zip files here are outdated.

The line to enable and disable turbo mode for TagUI human language version is here -

Also, I've just added turbo mode as an option officially for my personal project Python version -
tebelorg/RPA-Python#297

Next week, I'll be looking to add turbo mode officially for TagUI human language version.
