Unable to test activities on UiPath Studio

[renosh.sunny]

I am having trouble with my test activity feature on my app. I right click and select test activity but all that happens is the activity is highlighted in blue and i get a notification on top saying "You may now edit variable values in the Locals panel. Press Continue or Step Into when you’re ready. From my understanding the page is supposed to switch to the debug ribbon and show an indicator for continue and stop, instead of that my screen remains the same with the mentioned changes. In order to continue working on studio I have to run the file. After this when I go back to try and click test activity again the selector is greyed out. Does anyone know how I can troubleshoot this?

Hello @renosh.sunny

The debugging is intended to pause when selecting Test Activity.
This is so that you have a chance to change the variables in the Locals Panel before debugging the activity.
Simply select the Debug tab and click Continue to start the test.

Hello @SorenB
When I select the debug tab I don’t get an option to Continue. Just the option to run the file in debug mode.
I can show you what I’m dealing with, I’m going to be using the input dialog activity as an example.

I will right click and go to debug and then select test activity.

Then I’m given this prompt.

When I go into the debug tab it does not give me an option to continue, it only allows me to debug the entire file.

If I try to right click and try to select test activity again the option is greyed out.

I’m wondering if this is a dependency issue. Attached below are the dependencies I currently have on this project.

Any insight into this would be greatly appreciated, I’m new to UiPath and debugging has been taking a while because I keep running into this issue.

Hello @renosh.sunny

This indeed looks like a bug.
Are you running the newest version of Studio?
And are all your dependencies up to date?

Here is what it should look like:

I am running the latest version of studio and my dependencies are up to date, I even tried uninstalling studio completely off my device to see if it would work after a fresh install but still no luck.

@renosh.sunny Hi I am also facing the same problem, Run from and test this activity options are not working as before. when we use those options continue button not appearing.
It seems to be a bug from UiPath end

Hi,

There is a bug around Test Activity and RunFromThisActivity etc. in Studio 25.0.157.
According to the following post, UiPath guys will fix it in the next release.

"Run From this activity" not working in 2025.0.157 version

We have recently discovered this bug on our side and we will provide a fix with the next update. As a workaround you can try to reopen the file that you want to use.

After about 90 minutes of banging my head, I found this post.
