UiPath Tasks for Azure DevOps

With the new support for .NET5 in UiPath I'm trying to upgrade our projects to use it. Unfortunately it fails when building in our pipeline.

- task: UiPathPack@2

  inputs:

versionType: ${{ parameters.versioningStrategy }}

projectJsonPath: '$(Build.SourcesDirectory)\${{ parameters.projectPath }}'

orchestratorConnection: ServiceConnection

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

We get the following errors:

Could not find file 'c:\Agent\_work\_tool\uipcli\1.0.7985-19721\WindowsPlatformManifest.txt'

Could not find file 'c:\Agent\_work\_tool\uipcli\1.0.7985-19721\PlatformManifest.txt'

These files does not exists anywhere in the "_tools" or "_tasks" folders. I can find them in the UiPath Studio folder however so I've tried adding them into the path above. 

When doing this, the build will complete but the lib-folder in the NuGet package which should contain the .net5 version is empty.

Hello,

We are trying to set up TFS/ADOS Release Pipeline for Orchestrator 2021.10.0 and hope that TFS/ADOS Extension "UiPath Deploy" could help.

The problem is that we need to upgrade our existing 2019.10 Orchestrators, but our custom CI/CD pipeline we built for deployments is not working with Orchestrator 2021.10.

We have Build and Release pipelines with PowerShell tasks using UiPath PowerShell library (https://github.com/UiPath/orchestrator-powershell). These pipelines worked fine for years with Orchestrator versions 2018.10 up till 2021.4.2. 

After upgrading one Orchestrator instance to 2021.10 we found that NTLM Authentication does not work anymore. Basic Authentication did not work either with error "Get-UiPathAuthToken : Operation returned an invalid status code 'Unauthorized'"

This is when we found TFS extension https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=uipath.vsts-uipath-package and tried it out. UiPath Deploy task worked great with previous versions of the Orchestrators, but not with 2021.10.0.

We submitted tickets to UiPath Support (Case #01222655 API NTLM Authentication, and case #01225160 TFS/ADOS Extension "UiPath Deploy" task) but they could not help us, and suggested to post all our questions and problems on Marketplace and UiPath Forum.

Notes:

- Orchestrators, TFS server and TFS Agents are all on prem. 

- All SSL certificates are issued by trusted authority.

- Server wquipweb01 is behind a load balancer with name "uipath-qa". It is planned to use this server in High Availability mode later, but right now it is a single node Orchestrator.

- Local account used for Basic Authentication can be used to login the Orchestrator (both wtuipweb01 and wquipweb01), belongs to Administrator role, and assigned to Default folder.

- In these examples the same NUGET package with the same version is being deployed. Before deployment, the process is deleted on Orchestrator and all inactive packages are removed.

- For task #2 there was event in Application Log, with 40 seconds delay:

 IdentityServer4.Events.DefaultEventService {"ClientId":"6654e78d-8490-4abe-9c40-d28267c89f3a", "ClientName":"Portal.OpenId", "RedirectUri":"https:\/\/uipath-qa\/identity\/management\/callback", "Endpoint":"Authorize", "SubjectId":"0aef2dc9-2585-4a1c-8f36-55f0baffc7e8", "Scopes":"openid profile email IdentityServerApi", "GrantType":"implicit", "Tokens":[{"TokenType":"id_token", "TokenValue":"****tG0Q"},{"TokenType":"access_token", "TokenValue":"****nazw"}], "Category":"Token", "Name":"Token Issued Success", "EventType":"Success", "Id":2000, "ActivityId":"80004ad3-0001-fa00-b63f-84710c7967bb", "TimeStamp":"2021-12-03T00:59:44Z", "ProcessId":5488, "LocalIpAddress":"10.165.106.145:443", "RemoteIpAddress":"10.127.14.82"}

- For task #3 there were no events in Application Event Log within 1+minute of the task running

- There is a recurrent message in Application Event Log every 5 minutes:

IdentityServer4.ResponseHandling.AuthorizeInteractionResponseGenerator Showing login: User is not authenticated

- We analzed Orchestrator queries with SQL Profiler and found nothing suspicious.

Please advise.

Hi, I am using this package to deploy packages on the Orchestrator. I faces a error when I am using an External Application connection for deployment.

It looks like I don't have rights to deploy packages. If i'am using api connections it works without issues. Any idea what i do wrong?

Hi,

Been using the extension for a few months and all was going well until last week, we've recently been seeing "conflicts" during deployments which is causing issues on our end. No changes made on our end and we're using the latest version of the extension.

System.InvalidOperationException: Microsoft.Rest.HttpOperationException: Operation returned an invalid status code 'Conflict'

{"message":"The name xxxxx is already used.","errorCode":1001,"resourceIds":null}

Happy to discuss further if you need any more details.

Hi,

When runnning 'UiPath Pack' task, I'm getting this error:

```

Compiling...

The following invoked workflows are missing:

D:\a\1\s\QueueItems\BuildCommentsString.xaml

Called from the following workflows:

D:\a\1\s\QueueItems\Convert QueueItems to DataTable.xaml

```

It happens for libraries, if both workflows are marked as non-publishable. If I marked the invoked workflow as publishable, everything works. It happens in the version 2.7.1993735, however it used to work in version 2.4.1786427

Hi,

I want to add Value per Robot type assets in Orchestrator. Does - task: UiPathAssets@2 will support this type?

Can you share an example for this?

Thank you

hi,

when I try to run:_- task: UiPathInstallPlatform-preview@2_

I get this on a virgin OS with a registered and and working Build Agent:

##[error]No agent found in pool uipath which satisfies the specified demands: npm, Agent.Version -gtVersion 2.163.1

==

EDIT: installing Node help me (as it includes "npm")

https://nodejs.org/en/download/

@uiPah => "npm" should be listed as a pre-req to tun the Azure pipeline integration with uiPath.

The Node install adds a whole lot of stuff we probably don't need (python, vcredist14, VSBuildTools, NuGetScratch)

==

My pipelines runs fine on my local Windows 10 PC

I then,

added a 2nd Build Agent in Azure (Windows 2019 Server) it fails.

added a 3rd Build Agent in Azure (Windows 10 Pro) it fails.

##[error]No agent found in pool uipath which satisfies the specified demands: npm, Agent.Version -gtVersion 2.163.1

This simple Yaml (below) = Builds OK

_# This works fine_

_# But, when adding this next line to install the uiPath CLI - I get the error._

_#- task: UiPathInstallPlatform-preview@2_

I’ve tried running the Build Agent as my self (Admin) as a Service “NT Authority\System”. Same issue

There seems to be something missing in the pre-req.

Azure powershell?

.NET Core?

I can't find any pre-reqs here:

https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=uipath.vsts-uipath-package

but I bet I have something deployed to my PC that is missing on a vanilla OS in my Azure Agent

We're running Orchestrator 20.4. We have the latest version of the UiPath Integration extention installed, 2.6.1872849. We hadn't run any of our pipelines for several months and now they are failing. We have added the new required parameter, entryPointPaths, with the default value. The package gets deployed to Orchestrator but the task fails immediately after. 

Also, the github repo referenced from the DevOps marketplace doesn't exist so there is no way for me to look at what might be happening.

Here's a slightly modified log:

UiPath Pack task is failing as it is looking for C:\agent\_work\_tool\uipcli\1.0.7909-28149 whereas the uipcli version i have in the agent is '1.0.7881-13724' 

please let me know how can we update the version for uipcli.exe and how can we make sure that it is updated automatically?

Is it possible to create process in Orchestrator as part of  Azure pipeline(uipath packages) deployments? If yes could you please help me with the steps.

Thanks in advance

The latest update, 2.4, has broken my pipelines that publish my library project. I cannot find anyway to specify that the UiPathPack activity runs with an earlier, working version - is there a way to do this?

My pipeline ran fine last week with v2.3.1504174 but as of today, it has started using v2.4.1786427 and is failing at the same point every time. I've gone so far as to roll back all changes I've made since the last succesful pipeline run to make sure it's not something I've done, with no result.

I am getting the below error, that "An item with the same key has already been added," however that key only appears once in the entire verbose log.

Any suggestions about what I can do to fix or workaround this error would be great - I've got many projects that are currenlty waiting on updates to this library!

Hi UiPath,

we are having trouble building libraries using the current version of the UiPath.System.Activities package in combination with the AzureDevOps integration.

Using UiPath.System.Activities V21.4.1 we get in the UiPathPack task the following error:

COMPILER: Loading assembly by name: 'UiPath.System.Activities' failed. Please check you have all project nuget dependencies resolved and you don't have unused namespaces.

Unable to create activity builder for XXX.xaml. Reason was 'Cannot create unknown type '{http://schemas.uipath.com/workflow/activities}RetryScope'.'.

We have no problem if we downgrade the project dependency to UiPath.System.Activities V20.10.4.

Looking at the release date of V21.4.1 and the last update of the UiPathIntegration in AzureDevOps, I assume that the UiPath Integration in AzureDevops needs a small update.

Can you please look into this and update if necessary.

Thank you

Richard
