Orchestrator Job fails with Could not load file or assembly 'UiPath.UIAutomationNext

Help Orchestrator

1

the automation runs well in Studio - when started from the Orchestrator or the Assistant - it errors out with the Could Not Load File or Assembly… I did follow some of the suggestions on the forum - deleting .Nuget packages - no change in behavior even after a republish

I do see the UiPath.AutomationNext.Activities in the Imports area - not sure if I can delete.

Lost here…

This is from the orchestrator log file:

  • Info: Could not load file or assembly ‘UiPath.UIAutomationNext, Version=22.12.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null’. The system cannot find the file specified.

Hi - it’s the same VM that executes (Studio is on this machine) - Orchestrator executes against this VM.

Hi tried deleting project.json - and reload and republish - same issue with orchestrator assembly error.

Still not working - the only thing I have not tried is a complete new install/rebuild but that seems drastic in this day and age.

This can be closed - the message was resolved after I resolved this issue first.
