All Excel activities being displayed when searching for activity

[jacchr]

Hi Experts

In one specific project all the Excel activities shows up in the Activities panel when searching for an activity:

I have tried uninstalling the Excel Activities package from the Manage Packages which of course removes the Excel activities when searching. But when I install the Excel Activities again I get all the Excel activities in the search box.

This does not happen when I open another project. How to I “reset” that for the specific project which has the problem?

Close UiPath Studio completely and navigate to your project folder and delete the .local folder (this contains cached activities for the project).

if this is needful then mark it as SOLUTION

Unfortunately that does not make any difference. It comes back again after the .local folder has been deleted.

Did you closed the UiPath studio and deleted the .local folder and then reopened the studio and project and then installed the UiPath.Excel.Activity package ?

@jacchr,

This should work.

1. Take the backup of the project.json file of your project.
2. Close the project from Studio
3. Delete the project.json file of your project from File Explorer
4. Now open the project by double clicking on the Main.xaml
5. Now let the Studio rebuild the project.json with all the dependencies and everything.
6. Now check if the issue persists.

I was experiencing the same issue with the most recent version of Excel Activities. Consequently, I reverted to version 2.24.4, and remarkably, the error resolved itself.
There could be a bug in the updated Excel dependencies.
Please indicate it as a solution if it addresses your inquiry.

Thanks @manasrlenka25 it must be something with version 3.2.1. If I downgrade to 3.1.1 the problem disappears.
