Nobody??? Not even UiPath staff??

We are encountering the same problem since updating Studio to 21.4.3. Upgrading to Version 21.4.4 didn’t help.

Something definitely changed from Version prior 21.4.

“glad” to see that I am not the only one. Let’s hope someone with a solution visits this topic.

Hi,

The following topic says it solved by updating to the latest UiPath.System.Activities package.
Can you try this?

Regards,

6

Usually I have the latest version but I’ll keep an eye on it.

7

I updated all the packages after posting here. But indeed this seems to resolve the problem for now. Let’s see if the problem reoccurs.

8

Did not work. I think UiPath should resolve this and not have a work around. Besides, it is very frustrating if you have to open a xaml 6 times before you can even update.

9

Yes, problem reoccured for us as well. I am going to write technichal support for assistance.

Can you share when you have a reaction?

11

Yes, I will share the outcome. May take some time.

12

Do you have a For Each loop that’s trying to update the properties of the thing you’re looping through? That’s what this error means. For example.

For each plate in dinner.list
- assign plate = “some text”
//for each

You can’t do this because you’re looping through the same list you’re trying to edit.

13

That is not it. We cannot even open te xaml.

14

Understood. Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling Studio?

15

I think that should be a last resort. It happens on al 7 virtual machines.

16

I wonder if you have a firewall/proxy that is blocking access to the online package repositories.

17

We had no issue the last 4 years. It is after the update that this happens.

Step1 : Note down the installed version
Step2 : Remove installed version UiPath.System.Activities and save
Step3 : installed the UiPath.System.Activities version you noted down and save

try to open the main.xaml file

:grinning:

19

Still seems to be an issue in 2024, using Studio version 2023.4.5.

Possible fix -

Step 1 - Within the project json file, remove “UiPath.UIAutomation.Activities”: “[]" & “UiPath.System.Activities”: "[]” then save the file
Step 2 - Try and open the project file, which should still fail to execute
Step 3 - Undo the changes made in step 1 and try to launch the project json file again from studio
