Project type has changed from Process to BusinessProcess

Since one of the latest updates I’m getting an error when trying to publish that’s telling me:
“Project type has changed since the latest published version (was Process, now is BusinessProcess). Revert the project type or publish a new project.”

I’ve read some of the threads around here about the error tried renaming the project.json and letting it rebuild but that just seems to irrevocably break some of our processes. Several of the threads also point to the 2018.4 version of Studio being the root cause, but my organization has never even used that version so that’s a no-starter.

Can we expect any bug fix for this or a reasonable workaround? The only thing that’s working so far is renaming the project and publishing it as a new thing but having to rebuild our entire library of processes like that is frankly just unwieldly and quite an ugly band aid on the problem.

What version are you running that got the update?
Maybe there is something in the release notes?

Can you show a screenshot of the error? Perhaps we can look into the project.json once we know more to help here.

I’m currently on StudioX 2025.0.167 but I’m not entirely sure which update that broke things.
Here’s the full error log.

Ah so you are on a community version build.

Can you try the latest stable Enterprise release of 24.10.13? See if that gets the same error?

Does this error occur in a popup whilst after you finish the publish window, before that window occurs during the workflow analyzer steps? Is it in the logs?

The error shows up right at the end of the publishing process, after it has compiled the activities and everything.

Dang, I assumed we were on the enterprise version since that’s what were paying for. So after uninstalling StudioX and reinstalling (presumably) the enterprise version through UiPathStudio.msi I was able to successfully publish the project but:


It wants to update me to the same version, which will presumably break everything again, and seems to imply I’m still on the community version? I’m not really sure what’s going on with our studio version, I may just have to contact UiPath directly about this.

@Mikael.Tea

Try using LTS version instead of STS

Sounds like you reinstalled community.
Link to the 24.10 installer should be this

https://download.uipath.com/versions/24.10.13/UiPathStudioCloud.msi

Wait, so UiPathStudio.msi and UiPathStudioCommunity.msi are both Community? That is counterintuitive to say the least. :sweat_smile:
That installer seems to have worked though, the version number actually looks correct now. Fingers crossed it stays that way now.

I am not sure where you got UiPathStudio.msi for community, but its UiPathStudioCloud.msi in the link I gave you :stuck_out_tongue:

Easy to get confused with the versions though.
Let us know if the downgrade worked as it should help us know if this is a bug from community version or an issue with your project.

Nope, both are not same!

UiPathStudio.msi is Enterprise short term support (STS)
UiPathStudioCommunity.msi - Community version

Hi @Mikael.Tea ,

Just wanted to check a couple of things here to help us understand this issue:

  • Does this occurs on new Tasks? Or does it occur on existing projects?
  • If it occurs on an existing project, does it occur on all of them or only specific ones?
  • Any chance there are some repro steps or a sample project to allow us to investigate this further?

Many thanks,
Raluca

I just checked what installation files I had locally. ^^’

It appears to be working now though so Community seems to have been the culprit.

It was happening on all existing projects but I could create a new one and publish it just fine. Working just fine now that I’m not using community though.
