Hi experts,
I have this problem when run workflow and execute activity Excel Application Scope.
I have updated Java virtual machine, plugin Java, and installed the last version of Uipath.Excel.Activities 2.9.1.
Try to close the excel application through task manager i.e close the excel application running in the background and while executing keep the excel closed.
Hi @Andrea_S,
do you use attended or unattended automation?
Which user are you using to access that folder, are you ‘Admin’ user where document is stored, because maybe there is a problem with accessing rights on that file.
Just so you know I’ve recently been getting this error and traced it down to clicking on an element inside a java application in the Internet Explorer browser. For some reason there was a popup that was causing this error to occur - no idea why but by going through the steps manually by hand exposed the popup so I was able to deal with it.
So this error may not just be down to Excel it could just be Windows related.
However in your case - when looking on the forums it would seem others have had success when downgrading to an earlier version of UiParh.Excel.Activities (I think 2.7.2 from memory) Were you experiencing the issue on that version.
I have another project that is randomly throwing up this error so will update this thread when I fix it.
Could you try using a workbookVariable here and then after you have finished writing to the spreadsheet, use the ‘Close Workbook’ activity and specify the workbook variable of course.
For anyone at UiPath reading - do we know if there is an issue with the UiPathJavaBridgeV8.dll
The automation I’m recently having trouble with which was created on an earlier version of UiPath Studio but now using 20.4.1 is exhibiting these errors - I’ve only seen the issue recently as far as I know (the person who normally runs the automations in the LIVE environment went on holiday so it was brought to my attention by other people)
Anyway - I’ve checked the Windows logs and have noticed this :
