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

Help Orchestrator

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.

Hi there,

When I execute the case (testcase) locally via studio the execution goes fine. As soon I execute the case in orchestrator following errors interrupts the execution. I noticed, that the folder C:\Users<particular username>.nuget\packages is also empty. And even when I run the process locally via studio, the packages are not there. I am using the package UiPath.UiAutomation.Activities (24.10.1) in ‘Lowest applicable version’ runtime rule. Before I was also trying with ‘strict’ runtime rule but still the same issue. Can someone help me there?

I also got the same ‘Failed to install package (NU1107)’ error. I fixed that by referencing directly the suggested UiPath package. But still came up to this mentioned error of you.
