You can only run .NET6 .nupkg files or published process from the UiRobot command line

Help Studio

After converting from windows legacy to windows, I discovered that this syntax no longer works for .net6:

c:\Program Files\UiPath\Studio\UiRobot.exe --file “c:\repositories\Activate.xaml” --input “{‘in_Data’ : ‘test’}”

This syntax seems to work just fine:

c:\Program Files\UiPath\Studio\UiRobot.exe execute --process Activate --entry “Activate.xaml” --input “{‘in_Data’ : ‘test’}”

I feel it would be helpful for UiPath to allow the legacy method to continue working. Otherwise, we will need to change the calling syntax for each workflow we convert.

Additional information.

hi,

If you only have a .xaml file, you need to first package it into a .nupkg file before using the UiRobot command line to run it. You can follow these steps:

  1. Open your .xaml file in UiPath Studio.
  2. Click on the “Publish” button to open the “Publish” wizard.
  3. In the “Publish options” page ,choose “Publish to” to “Custom” and choose the output folder on “Custom URL” .
  4. Click the “Publish” button and wait for the packaging process to complete.
  5. Open a command prompt or Powershell window, and use the following command to run the .nupkg file:
C:\Users\ytcheng\AppData\Local\Programs\UiPath\Studio\UiRobot.exe execute --file "C:\Path\To\Your\Package.1.0.0.nupkg"

Replace “C:\Path\To\Your\Package.1.0.0.nupkg” in the command with the actual path to your .nupkg file.

hope it can help.

this didnt work though. The error says "Cannot find a process named “Main”

I changed the Activate to Main as it seems the .xaml for your case is Activate
