Migrate Recorder workspace

Work.AI Developer contains standalone Recorder and Eclipse instead of WorkFusion Studio. For this reason, you must prepare your old workspace for use with a new Recorder (for Recorder-based projects). The page contains step-by-step instructions on how to do this.

tip

Create a copy of the workspace. If you make any mistake during the migration process, you can always roll back your changes.

Manual workspace migration

To migrate the Recorder workspace, do as follows:

1. Copy the old workspace and add the -recorder suffix.
2. Prepare your new workspace for launch:
   • Remove all folders except rpae_project and .metadata in workfusion-workspace-recorder_path.
   • Remove the workfusion-workspace-recorder_path\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.e4.workbench folder.
   • Replace the contents of workfusion-workspace-recorder_path\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.runtime\.settings\org.eclipse.ui.navigator.prefs with com.workfusion.recorder.resourceNavigator.filterActivation=\:org.eclipse.ui.navigator.resources.filters.startsWithDot\:org.eclipse.ui.navigator.resources.filters.closedProject\:.
3. Start Recorder with the workspace using workfusion-workspace-recorder_path and agree to update the workspace to a new version.

Automated workspace migration

You can use the migration-workspace.bat file to prepare your workspace for use with the new Work.AI Developer. The script does all the steps in the instruction above and launches Eclipse and Recorder with new workspaces.
