We were founded in 2005 in a tiny apartment in Bucharest, Romania as DeskOver.

Fittingly, it was a customer who, in 2012, first saw the immense possibilities for us in the fledgling RPA market. Our desktop automation product launched in 2013. In 2015, we introduced our enterprise platform along with our new name.

Today, UiPath is the fastest-growing enterprise software company in history with scores of offices, thousands of employees, partnerships with the world’s best consulting and BPO firms, a 500,000-strong developer community, and 5MM+ robots at work in over 5,000 global enterprises.

Our mission is to deliver the leading Robotic Process Automation platform to our clients for an automation first mindset.

We build software robots that automate repetitive processes. Our software robots take on the tedious, mind-numbing work and free people to do the more stimulating, creative work worth doing.

But no matter how much we’ve grown, one thing hasn’t changed. We’re still building a company we love to work for

An AzureDevOps extension that allows you to build and deploy UiPath automation processes, as well as run UiPath automated test cases.

How is an on-premises service connection for Orchestrator configured?  Does it require a public URL?  With the classic pipeline I releaseed from an on-premises Azure DevOps agent.

I guess what is not clear to me is how I would create a service connection from Azure DevOps that uses an on-premises DevOps agent.

Will this work with version 4.7 of the .NET framework?  

I have configured on premises service connection for orchestrator and also setup self hosted build agent. After that I have used classic editor in azure devops to run the build pipeline using UiPath tasks but on running build pipeline its throws an error "##[error]No agent found in pool XXXX which satisfies the specified demands: npm, Agent.Version -gtVersion 2.144.0".  Need help How to resolve this? 

I have the plugin installed, and have worked through the first few issues.  I now  am getting an error and am at a loss.  Any ideas?

Facing above error while deploying UiPath package. Please suggest

When my project is packed and built from a pipeline arguments are not being created in the project.json file so they are not available within the process when creating it from the package in Orchestrator. The arguments are visible in Studio and from the Orchestrator package explorer. If I manually add them to the json or publish from Orchestrator (which adds them) prior to committing changes the arguments work as expected. Is there something I am doing incorrectly or is this a known issue?

Working through implementing this connector with our CI/CD pipeline but I have identified a defect. I've already communicated with the UiPath support team, but will share conclusions here:

The UiPath Deploy task creates new releases with a naming convention which differs from the Orchestrator application behavior:

Deploy task convention: "<Process Name> v<version number> On <ENVIRONMENT NAME>"

Orchestrator convention: "<Process Name>_<Environment Name>"

This is interesting becuase it actually produces a discrepancy between how the process appears in "Processes" and how the process appears in "Jobs". Unfortunately the version name and the environment appear as the "Environment" in "Jobs" but display correctly in "Processes".

I am hoping this can be fixed in the next release because this quirk does not play nice with existing logging/reporting solutions as the version and environment are reported in the "processName" variable (!!!)

Hope others can see this so they know what to expect. It would be fine for those who have no existing convention but is not an option for those who are looking for a seamless integration.

UiPath Pack created nuget package for a library type project but does not have a dll file within it. It gives no error as well. 

This seems to happen only when I use "Invoke vba" activity. Otherwise it does the job correct. 

Note : Locally when I try to publish on my machine, it creates nuget package correctly which works.

Please let me know how to solve this issue.

Installed the plugin and was able to run the build pipeline. However the release pipeline gives the following error. Has anyone seen this error?

Thanks for your response. Here's the anonimized snippet of my release pipeline:

First task is Deployment group job where I'm configuring deployment targets. Here I configured my Orchestrator VM.

Next task is UiPath Install Platform (preview). Here's the YAML:

- task: uipath.vsts-uipath-package.uipath-install-platform.UiPathInstallPlatform-preview@2

  displayName: 'UiPath Install Platform (Preview)'

Next task is UiPath Deploy. Here's the YAML:

steps: - task: uipath.vsts-uipath-package.uipath-deploy.UiPathDeploy@2   displayName: 'UiPath Deploy'   inputs:     orchestratorConnection: 'Dev Orchestrator'     packagesPath: '$(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)/_OM-Organization-CI/drop/Output/TestDeploy.1.0.0.nupkg'     folderName: Default     environments: Dev

Orchestrator URL -> <Orchestrator URL> (this is the URL of my Orchestrator)

Username --> <user> (user has access to Orchestrator)

The Orchestrator is hosted on an Azure cloud VM. Version is Orchestrator 2020.4.3

Thanks Alvin, I configured agent pools and that worked!

I try to connect the UIPath Test in Azure DevOps

I have the "Test Sets" setup on the Orchest and test running it from there no issue. It goes and check the website and all working well.

When I trigger from the Azure DevOps I have got the error.

Anything you can point me out here to fix this?

Hi Alvin - I'm using Azure DevOps Services hosted on https://dev.azure.com/ and I'm trying to run a pack task with yaml: 

echo Beginning packaging of FCM.UiPath.HubBuilds as Nuget.

- task: UiPathInstallPlatform-preview@2

projectJsonPath: '$(Build.SourcesDirectory)\FCM.UiPath.HubBuilds'

outputPath: '$(Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory)\Output'

However - I'm getting the following error:

Error packaging project: Error: Unable to locate executable file: '/opt/hostedtoolcache/uipcli/1.0.7573-25446/x64/uipcli.exe'. Please verify either the file path exists or the file can be found within a directory specified by the PATH environment variable. Also check the file mode to verify the file is executable..

One thing to note is that even though I've setup the services connection, we haven't configured access from Azure DevOps to our UiPath Orchestrator in the DMZ yet. Will that prevent the pack task as per the above error?

I have a custom activity created . I have imported custom package from studio . 

On deploying related uipath Process which uses this custom dependency , i dont see that custom dependency moved to PACKAGES of orchestrator . 

This is causing issues while running bots as attended ROBOT in diff machines . We had to manually upload the custom package to orchestrator / copy it in the machine packages folder . 

Hi Alvin thanks for the response on the UNIX-style path. 

I'm using Azure DevOps and Git as Source Control. Is that why it thinks its Linux because of Git? At no point have I specified anything to be on Linux. Just wondering if the problem is with the cloud hosted repo in Git?

When running our pipeline the arguments are being dropped where they are not seen in the orchestrator, but when published directly from the studio they are there. Have you seen this befor and is there a solution?

Also we are getting an internal server error on the line "The Orchestrator command https://***.com/api/BackgroundTask/GetTaskCountByCorrelationId?backgroundTaskQueue=TestAutomationBackgroundTasks&correlationId=61089653-aa16-4922-9a03-70927c8f29fe failed with status code InternalServerError." as well

edit: we are running 2020.4.3 orchestrator

I am having the same problem as Jeet Doshi

"UiPath Pack created nuget package for a library type project but does not have a dll file within it. It gives no error as well.

This seems to happen only when I use "Invoke vba" activity. Otherwise it does the job correct.

Please let me know how to solve this issue."

The only difference is that my library does not have the "Invoke VBA" activity. Are there other known activities that cause issues?

we are able to Build and deploy the Uipath packages using UiPathPack and UiPathdeploy on my local self hosted agent.

But when we are trying to run the same pipeline on an self-hosted in Virtual Machine getting the below message and the agent does not pick up the build to run,

Message from PipeLine : "The agent request is not running because all potential agents are running other requests. Current position in queue: 1"

The Self hosted Agent in Local and VM are for the same configuration.

Also, we are able to run the same pipeline on the VM if we remove the tasks which are related to Uipath ie, - task: UiPathPack@2, - task: UiPathDeploy@2 in YAML.

Please let us know whats the root cause for this issue and a fix for this as it's not running on a particular PC alone.

Update : I am able to fix the above issue by install Azure Powershell Module.

Description  : Packages an existing UiPath project into a NuGet package.

==============================================================================

We are getting the below message when deploying the package to orchestrator :

"Skipping package deployment as no environments were provided."

But previously we haven't got the error, from past 2 weeks we are getting this message.

CLI Package version : Found tool in cache: uipcli 1.0.7573-25446 x64

A quick question. Let's assume our setup is: 1 Orchestrator instance, 1 folder, 2 environments (Dev, Prod). What I'd like to achieve is to create a pipeline with 3 stages (Build, DeployDev, DeployProd). And I'd like to have a manual gate between DeployDev and DeployProd. 

The issue is that I cannot use the Deploy task in both DeployDev and DeployProd stages, because it will fail when running for the second time as the package is already on the Orchestrator.

What I'd like to achieve in the DeployDev stage is to upload the package and upgrade the process in the Dev environment. And in the DeployProd stage the process on the Orchestrator should be upgraded in the Prod environment (without uploading it again).

As of this morning getting these errors. Pipeline had been running fine for weeks prior to this. This is happening for all 3 of our service connections, not just one.

Warning: Failed to authenticate to the Orchestrator at https://cloud.uipath.com/. If your projects do not consume packages only served by this Orchestrator instance, you may skip this issue.

Congratulations on the update to version 2.2.1309266.

Is there a way to write Nupkg Descption when running Uipath Deploy?

I think the latest release of this package may have broke input and output arguments when deploying a package to orchestrator. This behaivor to my knowledge was not occuring prior to the upgrade.

Now when i run packages through the azure pipeline and deploy to an environment, In Orchestrator when i select that process it shows as having no input or output arguments available. 

However when i simply publish that package from studio locally to that environment the input and output arguments are being picked up and displayed in orchestrator. 

Am i missing something new I need to configure when deploying? 

Thanks and let me know if you need any more details.

Hello. If the package is not UTF-8, there seems to be an error when deploying.

uipcliArgsContents: {"type":"deploy","options":{"packagesPath":"D:\\a\\1\\a\\","orchestratorUrl":"https://~~~~~~~~~","orchestratorTenant":"***","organizationUnit":"Default","environments":null,"username":"***","password":***,"accountName":"","refreshToken":""}}

In this task UiPathPack, there is the argument projectJsonPath

Can this be path to azuredevops git ex: https://abc.com/_git/MyrpaProject 

Is there way clone from azuredevops git and then build

or that has to be out of this uipath extension?

it looks like the argumetns being dropped after deploying with the pipelines is a known issue. Is there a timeline for this to be fixed? We can manually add these argumetns to the project.json that will be pushed to the repo but it gets more difficult to keep track of all the projects as we get more processes developed.

Hi, i have the same problem with the connection as Andy Janes but the connection via UiPath Pack works.
