Code Quality control with Workflow Analyzer
Code proof your projects using built in best practices or build your own.
Use command line support to verify your packages before publishing.
Build your own custom rules and enforce them directly in Studio, by making use of the UiPath.Activities.Api package.
Please note that we’ve made changes to the Regex expressions of Variable Naming Convention and Arguments Naming Convention rules. It is recommended to remove the RuleConfig.json file from under the Rules directory, in the installation folder. Open a new process, and a new RuleConfig.json file is automatically regenerated.
