Dear All,

Good day!

We have used new sap activities to develop library activities (i.e- Click tool bar and Select menu item activities )

We are using those library activities in the artifact, but while publishing the artifact we are getting error message “ Null Reference Exception”.

Please look into the below step by step flow

We have used the below mentioned versions in a separate workflow and also as a library into another workflow. Kindly look into the test results for both below.

UiPath.System.Activities - 20.4.0

UiPath.UiAutomation.Activities - 20.4.2

Case1- Publish new sap activities as a separate workflow – Success

Case2 – Publish new sap activities as a library into another workflow - Failed

We have used below mentioned activities to create the new library

In artifact we have used above developed library and tested.

As soon as i try to publish/analyze the project we are getting ‘Null Reference Exception’ .

Note –

While publishing the above new sap activities in a separate workflow, we are not facing any issue. But at the same time if we are using the new sap activities as a library into the other artifact , we are facing above exception.

Best Regards,

Naveen

HI @Naveen.Ch

To fix the issue that occurred on 19.10.3, the following steps are required:

  • upgrade to Studio 19.10.5 (latest 19.10 patch as of today);
  • publish the library again
  • update the library dependency inside the project

After doing so, publishing the process was successful.

We have just successfully tested it

Best regards, Lev
