Is there any way (using the assign activity and a string variable) to get the name of the current sequence/component/workflow name?

Hey Delme - small world! I still haven’t found a way. Wondering if you could potentially reference the XAML? Bit dirty if you do. I think this would be quite a nice feature to implement. Rich

One example would be for logging. It would be easier to reference workflow.name for example (and other attributes of the file such as location), rather than creating a variable which you have to update each time you create a new workflow - and sometimes forget!!

Sorry I meant workflow/sequence :slight_smile: No this doesn’t quite answer the question. We’re talking about being able to self-reference the workflow that you are in. So, for example, if your workflow is called Workflow.xaml you would be able to call that dynamically by referencing UiPath.Workflo…

Hey Denton! Small world indeed ;o) That’s exactly why I want this. At the moment I have a variable name for a component (sequence) so when I log any messages I can add the component (sequence) name to the log. I also have to remember to update this variable each time I create a new component or …

[image] Delme: when I log any messages I can add the component (sequence) name to the log Current workflow name is by default logged under filename node in the log json: 13:37:57.9454 Trace {"message":"UiPath.Core.SelectorNotFoundException: Cannot find the UI element corresponding [...]r\n …

I mean example properties I could access on the stack object. As for the filename you’re correct, just being able to get the information yourself means you can document your own messages to look for at CoE an be able to dictate the format of them

Hi guys - any update on this? My use-case is that I’d like to be able to save a screen-shot to a shared folder if I run into an exception - and would like to add the robot’s name or the flow name to the screenshot filename for some context, like: “[RobotName]-2017-07-11-12-16-33.png”

Why not using the environment variables machine and user? [image]

Moved it to ideas. What do you mean by component?

For exception logging you can use exception.Source property. Run the main.xaml in the attached example. .Logging.zip (7.6 KB)

Otherwise we need to investigate

Try Catch Printing Exception Source
