About the Project.Json File
Project.json
is an automatically generated file which is created for each
.xaml
file marked as Main in the project folder.
The file holds varied information, including project dependencies, or web services loaded in libraries. For more information about web services in libraries, check out the Loading Web Services in Libraries page.
Manually editing the
project.json
file should be attempted for troubleshooting scenarios
only, as it may lead to severe consequences and loss of support.
project.json
file when running your project from the
UiRobot.exe (command line) client.
Project.json
file are described in the
following table.
Parameter |
Description |
---|---|
|
The title of the automation project. It is provided in Studio when creating a new process or library. |
|
The description of the project. It is provided in the Description field in Studio when a new project is created. |
|
The entry point of the automation project. It consists of an
.xaml file. The default name is “Main.xaml”. It is displayed both
as the title of the Designer panel and in the Properties panel in
Studio. If you want to execute a different project first, change the value of this
parameter to the name of the .xaml file to be processed.
Note: If your automation
project contains multiple files, each of them should be linked to the
Main.xaml file through the Invoke Workflow File
activity. This is especially useful when the project is published to Orchestrator
and sent to a Robot, as the Robot executes only the file provided in this
parameter.
|
|
The activities packages used to create the automation project and their versions. The list is updated every time a dependency is added or removed from the project, or when a package version changes. Note: Version numbers are
composed of the following parts, in order: major, minor, build, and revision. The
build value is the number of days that elapsed since 01.01.2000. The revision value
is the number of seconds which elapsed on the day of the release, starting from 5
AM, GMT.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The version of the
project.json
file.
|
|
The version of Studio used to create the automation project. |
|
The version used when publishing this project to a feed. Represents the one set in the Publish window. |
|
|
|
|
|
Contains the following information for each
input and output argument defined in the
workflow file that is set as Main: name , type ,
whether it is required , and whether it has a default value
(hasDefault ).
Note: Arguments information is
added only to the file in the
.nupkg package after
publishing.
|
|
The language set for the process (VisualBasic or CSharp). |
|
Contains the following information for each file marked as an
entry point to the process
filePath ,
uniqueId . and the following
information for each input and output argument in
the file: name , type , whether it is
required , and whether it has a default value
(hasDefault ).
Note: Arguments information is
added only to the file in the
.nupkg package after
publishing.
|
|
Whether the project is a template. |
|
Contains the following information for template projects:
|
|
The target framework set for the project (Legacy, Windows, or Portable). |
