New to RPA here and I have an issue when I run the bot package with UIPath Assistant.
Short description of the bot steps: the bot needs to save an unread email to a specific folder and then save from that email the attachments with .xlsm in another folder. Later the saved email will be attached in an application.
If I run the bot within StudioX the steps are performed correct (email and attachments are saved) and no issue appears but when I create the package and move it to Assistant I get error and the email and attachment are not downloaded and will not be attached resulting in error.
Hi, Yes I am using outlook activities and outlook is installed.
When I run the bot in StudioX the email and attachment are downloaded and I have no issue. The issue appears when I publish the bot package in personal workspace and I run it using Assistant.
So one of the first issues that I see is that you are using the project folder as place holder for where you want the files to be saved. Now I have to admit that this could be a bit confusing but when you publish the project the project folder changes , because “Project Folder” translates to “string.Format(”{0}“, System.IO.Directory.GetCurrentDirectory())” .

What you can observe ( one run is from Studio and the other is from Assistant ) is that the Project folder changed from C:\Users\dragos.suma\Documents\UiPath\ToBeUploadedWithArguments\testFolder to C:\Users\dragos.suma.nuget\packages\tobeuploadedwitharguments\1.0.4\lib\net45\testFolder
In conclusion you could use a folder structure that is independent of the “Project Folder” , for example My Documents or just a folder on C:\
