Hi,

File / Path Exists Activity does not work.
How can I check instead / any other solution?

Thx for suggestions.

Hi @VanjaV

Could you please include some specifics? I suppose the same can be achieved with an expression, but I am curious what exactly doesn’t work?

I get the “False” response, but the path with file is given ok.
Error exists since friday. :frowning:
It worked fine until friday.

In this case, would it be possible for you to share some more specifics (maybe a dummy xaml of this issue?). If there is a bug like this, we will have to fix it and a dummy project would help us reproduce the issue.

Otherwise, for the issue at hand, please double check with this simple expression:
The image shows the UiPath Expression Editor with a message to log whether the file "project.json" exists in the folder using "System.IO.File.Exists". (Captioned by AI)

The image shows a UiPath workflow that logs a message indicating whether the file "project.json" exists, with the output panel confirming the file's existence as "True." (Captioned by AI)

Hi @VanjaV

1st method File exists it will work I don’t know why its not working your case

In this case just mention the your file path and create the Boolean variable

2nd method

try this way

You can directly mention use this in the IF condition If the file present it will go True or Else it will go to Else part

System.IO.File.Exists("Yourpath")

Thank you @Gowtham_K115 , 2nd method gives false as well.
I guess something has changed on the server / system :frowning:

Thx for help :slight_smile:

@VanjaV Your condition look like this right

System.IO.File.Exists("D:\Testing_Purpose\New Microsoft Excel workbook.xlsx")

8

Yes

and explorer opens XLS within string.

@VanjaV check your file path variable (str_Path_TimeTableRuntimes) giving the correct file path or not, before if condition use the log message the check the value

explorer opens XLS within string → log before if
