Hi all,
has anyone of you experienced the following error when using the cloning a repository using the clone activity from UiPath.Pipelines.Activities package?

[Clone]: PipelinesWrapper 1.0.0+e05c3…
[Clone]: Required option ‘l, language’ is missing."

Hi @niels.fricke

Welcome to UiPath,

Might be a version or compatibility issue.
Pls try to Update the UiPath.Pipelines.Activities package and ensure Studio/Robot versions are compatible.

Happy Automation

Which version of UiPath.Pipelines.Activities and UiPath Studio are you using? Does the issue occur with every repository or only a specific one?

It seems like a configuration issue from the error.

Hello everyone,
thank you for your quick responses.

Compatibility was also my first suspicion. But I am using Studio version 2025.10.10 and have all dependencies in the project updated to the current version. UiPath.Pipelines.Activities is at 3.0.5.

I did a few additional tests with the clone activity, and the result is confusing:

When I specify a “destination path” (even though this is optional), I immediately get the language error.

If I do not specify a “destination path,” it takes about 60 seconds (default timeout) and then the error message is “failed to connect”.

  • Make sure that the robot VM has installed in it the Download .NET 8.0 Desktop Runtime (v8.0.29) - Windows x64 Installer
  • Try using this package Build.and.publish.2.0.10.nupkg (62.8 KB). Upload it under the Pipelines folder → then update or add the Build.and.publish process
  • Retry starting a new job for this pipeline in Automation Ops → Pipelines from a machine has the local Windows OS in English language and English regional format
  • Double-check outside of UiPath Robot/Studio if on the pipeline VM if the git clone YOUR_REPOSITORY_URL works and how long it takes.

Hi @marian.platonov, thank you for the summary. In fact, while the .NET Framework 4.8.1 is installed on my Robot VM, none of the modern SDKs (7, 8, 9) are.

I assumed that UiPath would include this dependency — like Visual Studio does. I still find it strange that I can clone a project from a repository in UiPath Studio. However, the same call through the corresponding activity in a workflow produces the language error.

The GIT CLI is not installed for us due to organizational reasons.

UiPath.Pipelines.Activities.3.0.x requires .NET 8 to be installed.

Hi @marian.platonov … thank you once again. I installed the .NET runtime v8.0.26 on the VM earlier and updated the path accordingly. Unfortunately, the clone activity still doesn’t work and crashes with the language error.

Provide the whole pipeline execution logs.
I need to see if you updated the Build.and.publish package and process to 2.0.10. This version should use PipelinesWrapper 3.0.5.
What is the robot version that executes the pipeline?
From the robot that executes the pipeline, open a cmd.exe console, run dotnet --info and provide the results. I need to see if you have installed the correct .NET 8 runtime (Microsoft.WindowsDesktop.App 8.0.29 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\shared\Microsoft.WindowsDesktop.App])
