ST-USG-014 - Package Restrictions
ST-USG-014
Scope: Project
The rule allows restricting the use of activity packages in a given project by defining allowed or prohibited packages. After restrictions are defined, the rule checks the project to determine if any prohibited packages were added as dependencies. By default, if any prohibited package has been installed in the project, the rule logs an error in the Error List panel.
Make sure only packages that are approved by your organization are installed in your project.
In the Project Settings window, select the Workflow Analyzer tab. Find the rule and select the rule, as in the image below:
By default, this rule does not restrict the use of any activity package. To define allowed or prohibited packages, add them to the corresponding box.
If the same package is added as both allowed and prohibited, the package is prohibited. If any allowed packages are defined, all other packages are prohibited.
UiPath.Excel.Activities=2.5.3
.
UiPath.Excel.Activities>=2.5.3
to the prohibited packages box prohibits all 'UiPath.Excel.Activities' packages having a version of 2.5.3 or higher. The
greater than (>) symbol can only be used together with the equals sign (=), inputs such as UiPath.Excel.Activities>2.5.3
are invalid.
UiPath.Excel.Activities<2.5.3
or UiPath.Excel.Activities<=2.5.3
are considered invalid.
*
to match any number of characters. For example:
- Adding
UiPath.Excel.Activities=2.7.2-beta*
to the prohibited packages box prohibits all beta versions2.7.2-beta
of theUiPath.Excel.Activities=2.7.2
package, while allowing the usage of other versions of the same package, includingUiPath.Excel.Activities=2.7.2
, any other prerelease versions of theUiPath.Excel.Activities=2.7.2
package (like alpha versions), or any other stable or prerelease versions of theUiPath.Excel.Activities
package. - Adding
UiPath.*
to the allowed packages box allows only packages published by UiPath.
*
, the greater than symbol (>=) is interpreted as the equals sign (=), for example, UiPath.Excel.Activities>=2.7.2-beta*
is a valid input, but is interpreted as UiPath.Excel.Activities=2.7.2-beta*
.
Examples:
- UiPath.Excel.Activities=2.8.4-*
- UiPath.Excel.Activities>=2.7.2
- UiPath.Excel.Activities=2.7.2
UiPath.Excel.Activities, UiPath.UIAutomation.Activities
to the prohibited packages box prohibits all versions of these two packages.
After adding packages to the rule, use the Analyze Project button to try out the rule.
