Rename File X won't detect the source

Hello everyone.

Under StudioX, I am encountering this error with Rename File activity:

The image shows an error message indicating that the "Rename File" activity failed due to a missing part of the path, with options to retry, skip, or stop the process. (Captioned by AI)

However, I tried inserting a File Exist activity for added verification, and the output says True; therefore, the file exists.

The File Exists and the Rename activity have the same source path.

The image shows a sequence of UiPath workflow activities for checking file existence, logging the result, and renaming the file. (Captioned by AI)

It would be great if someone could advise on troubleshooting this error.

Thanks!

Hi @I_m_InTheMaking

Can you show the full path that you are using in rename activity?

Does it have any invalid characters?

You can also use move file activity instead effectively rename the file in the process.

Hello @sonaliaggarwal47. Thanks for replying.

Here’s the full path for Rename File:

The image shows a "Text Builder" dialog box displaying a file path and a script placeholder for "CurrentFile Name" in UiPath software. (Captioned by AI)

I believe there are no invalid characters because File Exists worked with the same full path.

Hi @I_m_InTheMaking ,

Do you simply need to rename the file specified (and not move it to a different folder)? If so, to rename it, you don’t need to specify the entire path and you can use just the new name.
