Jenkins Master + Jenkins Agent( uipath Robot) + Orchestrator server

Build
#1

Hello,

Can anyone please explain how the uipath deploy works on this particular setup.

I have a jenkins master ( Server A) where the job is configured to run a uipath deploy on an agent ( Server B ) where i have uipath robot installed , the agent then talks to the orchestrator ( Server C) to deploy the package in a tenanat.

i am getting the below error

Get-UiPathAuthToken : An error occurred while sending the request.

What am i missing here ? and what is the role of powershell here ?

Thanks for asking, It all depends how you wish to configure your pipeline.

from the above code it looks like you are trying to work with cloud Orch and it supports token based auth method.

// Deploy Stages
	        stage('Deploy to UAT') {
	            steps {
	                echo "Deploying ${BRANCH_NAME} to UAT "
	                UiPathDeploy (
	                packagePath: "Output\\${env.BUILD_NUMBER}",
	                orchestratorAddress: "${UIPATH_ORCH_URL}",
	                orchestratorTenant: "${UIPATH_ORCH_TENANT_NAME}",
	                folderName: "${UIPATH_ORCH_FOLDER_NAME}",
	                environments: 'DEV',
	                //credentials: [$class: 'UserPassAuthenticationEntry', credentialsId: 'APIUserKey']
	                credentials: Token(accountName: "${UIPATH_ORCH_LOGICAL_NAME}", credentialsId: 'APIUserKey'), 
	

	        )

Which can be configured like above.
