Looks like the target machine is not able to find the package or download the package…for now can you try to copy the package from dev machine to the target machine and check if that sovles

c:\users\<username>\.nuget\packages

cheers

The issue is not with deploying with azure I believe…the issue is in the target system…may be it is unable to identify or connect to the orchestrator feed to download the required package…please check the firewalls if something is blocking

Cheers

I have manually published from studio, it is working fine. but when published from azure only, it is facing issue. I have checked the firewalls, there are no blockers.

Hi @Anil_G @nagaabhishekreddy.c ,
If you are working with Windows compatible project then it might be related to default CLI version.
the default CLI version that comes with it is 21.10 and it’s not able to capable to build Windows compatible project which are build on .net core. hence processes published via default CLI throws such error.

Please upgrade your devops plugin to 3.0 which allows you to choose and download a different version of the CLI, by using the UiPath InstallPlatform task(https://docs.uipath.com/test-suite/standalone/2023.4/user-guide/azure-devops-extension-job-tasks) This offers the possibility to pack Windows and Cross-platform projects.

It is working fine with the above process. But when publishing the package to subfolders, the name of the process is appending with main.xaml. Actual package name in project.json: ABCD, package name after publishing: ABCD_Main.xaml.
Is there an activity in azure devops to fix the package name?

Which Studio version did you use? We are using Studio v22.10.3 and tried publishing a new version of the project from Studio to Orchestrator and ran into the same error message.

The satellite assembly named “System.Activities.resources.dll, PublicKeyToken=null” for fallback culture “en” either could not be found or could not be loaded. This is generally a setup problem. Please consider reinstalling or repairing the application.uipcli Error: 0 : Unexpected error has occurred during the library compilation process:

I just started getting this error preventing my build validation from completing in my Azure DevOps pipeline.
And it only occurred after I added the recently updated version of the UiPath.Excel.Activites package as a dependency in my project.
I don’t use the Azure DevOps plugin, my pipeline downloads the most up-to-date version of the UiPath.CLI.Windows directly from the UiPath-Official feed as part of the build validation.

Is there some way that can the .NET version used by UiPath.CLI.Windows can be set? I see that most recent UiPath.CLI.Windows was published in May 2024, while the UiPath.Excel.Activities was updated last week (September 2024).

Could that be causing my problem?

Update

Sure enough, downgrading to UiPath.Excel.Activities 2.23.5 from 2.24.1 ‘fixed’ the problem. Of course, it also meant that I had to refactor the entire section of my automation because I had foolishly used new features offered in the newest package.

UiPath.CLI.Windows shouldn’t fall so far behind that it becomes a liability for those of us depending on it.
