Failed to deserialize the bindings file

Hi,

I have built a process that uses Desktop App (Windows Form), Browser, Excel and sends email using Gmail. During development, it has been debugging fine, but now that I am done with it, I suddenly cant run/debug it. It gives the error below:

Error: UiPath.Solutions.Core.Abstractions.ValidationException: Validation failed:
– Bindings: Failed to deserialize the bindings file Severity: Error

There are no validation errors or anything to see in the studio/workflow.

I’ve tried deleting/renaming bindings_v2.json and also tried deleting .local and .settings folders and restarting Studio, but none of that worked.

How do I overcome this?

Hey @jcm

It usually indicates that UiPath cannot read or parse the bindings_v2.json file correctly. Even if your workflows are valid, the project metadata may be corrupted.

Close UiPath Studio and delete these

Project\.local
Project\.settings
Project\.objects

and also delete %localappdata%\UiPath\.cache

Then reopen Studio.

Cheers

Hi @jcm

Might be the Root cause: corrupted bindings file / dependency mismatch.

Close Studio then Delete - project.json bin obj .settings .local
Reopen project

Happy Automation
