I was following the practice cases in “RPA UiPath StudioX Tutorial for Beginners”, and was doing the part on Google Workplace. Basically, everything works fine, and I was also able to run the package in UiPath Assistant. But,
I tinkered a bit on the workflow and publish (because I found that the “download spreadsheet” just add on without replacing the PDFs, and in turn accumulating to a bigger email to be sent), test, …, until I encountered the following error,
Could not find a part of the path ‘C:\Users\albert.chan.nuget\packages\first.automation.using.google.workspace\1.0.10\lib\net45\PDFs\Invoice 1.pdf’.
I found that this was caused by the missing folder “PDFs” in the package folder. It can be fixed by manually adding it. And surely, this problem persist if I published again.
The interesting thing is that I can still run the same workflow in StudioX.
I wonder if this could be related to the fact that I think Studio does not publish empty folders.
Could you please try one of these workarounds:
use the Create Folder activity to create a PDFs folder for your project
Simply like so:
place a dummy file in the PDFs folder that is in your project, something like an empty text file should do
Please let us know if it helped
Still, even if this workaround, I feel like one could make an argument that activity should just take care of creating a folder if it needs it, rather than throwing an exception.
