Can't indicate local Ruleconfig.json in uipath.policies.config

Help Studio
1

Hi,

As mentioned in Governance page, I tried to use RuleConfig.json file on local machine by indicating in uipath.policies.config file.
I wrote the “Analyzer” section as follows;

"Analyzer": {
  "AllowEdit": true,
  "ReferencedRulesConfigFile": "C:\\Users\\Path\\to\\RuleConfig.json",
  "EmbeddedRulesConfig": null
}

but it seems my custom rule sets are not applied.

I know that if I locate RuleConfig.json file in "%LocalAppData%\UiPath\Rules", the rules are applied. My question is how can I indicate in uipath.policies.config file.

Hi @shunsuke.fujisawa @KarineC,

Have you tried doing it without the use of governance file? Does it work that way?

Just updating custom rules in ruleconfig.json file and seeing if custom rules are visible in workflow analyzer settings window?

Also, have a look at below documentation, process is little different to have custom rules enabled in studio.

Hi @sonaliaggarwal47,
If i disconnect my Studio to the Governance File and if i change some level of one rule in my RuleConfig.json, the change doesn’t apply in Studio. When i reopen my RuleConfig file it had changed with the last value (some cache system maybe…).
I don’t need custom rules so I haven’t tried it.
Il think i will use the “EmbeddedRulesConfig” attribute in the Governance File even if it’s not the best solution…

Hi @KarineC,

When you apply any change in rule in ruleconfig.json file, please note that post this, studio restart is required for changes to take effect.

And when you make any changes in rule directly from studio, it is immediately reflected in ruleconfig.json file.

Also, please note that even if any or none of the rules are defined under EmbeddedRulesConfig attribute, still governance will be enabled for all rules per ruleconfig.json file. So defining default rules there is not mandatory, this is specifically for defining custom rules.

Hope this info helps.

Regards
Sonali
