How to Upload Csv to Jenkins Run
About this plugin
This plugin allows yous to build and deploy UiPath automation processes, too as run UiPath automated examination cases.
In order to pack projects created with UiPath Studio starting from 20.x, you need to utilise a version starting from 2.i of this extension.
Prerequisites
- Jenkins server running on Windows or Linux
- At least ane Jenkins slave running on Windows (required for step execution)
- Orchestrator case (basic, federated or cloud hallmark are supported)
- Testing features require Orchestrator version xx.iv or newer
- When using an on-premise Orchestrator under HTTPS, make certain to import the SSL Certificate and so that the HTTPS calls to Orchestrator can be trusted
Installing and enabling the plugin
The Jenkins plugin can be installed from any Jenkins installation connected to the Internet using the Plugin Manager screen.
Steps
▶ UiPath Run Job
The UiPath Run Job
mail-build step starts an already deployed process on an Orchestrator example. The processes this chore refers to are plant in Automations->Processes
on newer versions of Orchestrator and directly on the Processes
tab on older versions of Orchestrator.
Statement | Description |
---|---|
Process | (Required) Process name. You lot tin can accept the process proper name from the Orchestrator UI. If the procedure is deployed in a Modern Folder then this argument should exist the NAME of the process in the Processes tab. If the process is deployed in a Classic Folder, then the statement must be formed by the Name of the process and the ENVIRONMENT (eg: NAME: ProcessA ENVIRONMENT: Production ProcessName: ProcessA_Production ). |
Parameters | The full path to a json input file. This is used when the Process requires input. |
Priority | The job run priority. |
Strategy | Specify the task run strategy, dynamically allocated job(s) or robot specific job(s). Options: Allocate dynamically , Specific robots |
Chore Type | This feature is available merely on modernistic folders! Cull the license model of the runtime nether which the job is to be executed. |
Orchestrator address | The address of the Orchestrator instance where we'll run the process. |
Orchestrator tenant | Specify the Orchestrator tenant. |
Orchestrator folder | Specify the folder where the specified process was deployed. |
Hallmark | For authentication towards Orchestrator, credentials have to exist created in Jenkins upfront. At that place are ii options to authenticate: (1) Authenticate to an On-Premise Orchestrator using username and password (ii) Authenticate to a Cloud Orchestrator using a refresh token (API key). The account name and API key are attainable via Services->API Admission (meet below for a detailed explanation on how to retrieve this) (3) Cosign to a Deject Orchestrator using external app authentication. |
Job results output path | Specify the output total path of the job results, e.g. testResults.json. The results are outputted in json format. If not specified, the results are outputted to the artifact staging directory equally UiPathResults.json. The output is in json format. |
Timeout | Specify the job run(southward) timeout in seconds. |
Fail when job fails | The task fails when at least one job fails. (default truthful) |
Await for job completion | Await for job run(southward) completion. (default truthful) |
Trace logging level | Setting used to enable the trace logging to i of the following level: None, Disquisitional, Error, Warning, Data, Verbose. (default None). Useful for debugging purposes. |
Parameters used for strategy Allocate dynamically | |
No. of jobs | The number of job runs. (default 1) |
User | The name of the user. This feature is bachelor just on modern folders! This should be a machine user, not an orchestrator user. For local users, the format should be MachineName\UserName |
Machine | The proper noun of the machine. This characteristic is bachelor only on modernistic folders! |
Parameters used for strategy Specific robots | |
Robot names | Comma-separated list of specific robot names. |

💼 UiPath Manage Assets
The UiPathManageAssets
pace enables you lot to deploy, update or delete assets on an Orchestrator case. In social club to deploy assets yous must describe them in a CSV file similar the one in the example below encoded in uft-8.
name,type,value,description asset_1_name,text,asset_value,this is an exam description # we can have comments asset_2_name,integer,123 asset_3_name,boolean,imitation asset_4_name,credential,"username::password"
In that location are 4 types of assets text
, integer
, boolean
and credential
. For the credential you must encode the username and password past using ::
to separte the two fields.
Argument | Description |
---|---|
Action | What to do with the provided avails: deploy or delete. If a deployed nugget exists then information technology will be updated instead. |
Orchestrator address | The accost of the Orchestrator instance where we'll deploy or update avails. |
Orchestrator tenant | Specify the Orchestrator tenant onto which the assets will be deployed or updated. |
Orchestrator folder | Specify the folder where avails will be deployed or updated. |
Authentication | For authentication towards Orchestrator, credentials take to exist created in Jenkins upfront. There are 2 options to cosign: (1) Authenticate to an On-Premise Orchestrator using username and password (2) Authenticate to a Cloud Orchestrator using a refresh token (API cardinal). The account proper name and API key are accessible via Services->API Access (meet below for a detailed explanation on how to call up this) (three) Cosign to a Cloud Orchestrator using external app authentication. |
CSV File Path | The path to the csv file containing the asset details. The aforementioned file can exist used to deploy or update the assets although the type isn't required for update. The type field can also be empty merely the column must be nowadays. For delete, simply the name column is used, so the other columns tin can exist empty but they must be present. You tin set an optional clarification for each asset (e.yard. blazon , value, clarification ). Brand sure to remove whatever line breaks as each line is interpreted as a new nugget. |
Trace logging level | Setting used to enable the trace logging to one of the post-obit level: None, Critical, Fault, Warning, Data, Verbose. (default None). Useful for debugging purposes. |
pipeline { amanuensis whatsoever surroundings { MAJOR = '1' Small = '0' } stages { stage ( 'Build' ) { UiPathAssets ( assetsAction: DeployAssets(), credentials: Token(accountName: ' ' , credentialsId: ' ' ), filePath: '${WORKSPACE}/test.csv' , folderName: 'Default' , orchestratorAddress: 'https://exam-orchestrator.somedomain.com' , orchestratorTenant: 'Default' , traceLoggingLevel: 'None' ) UiPathAssets( assetsAction: DeleteAssets(), credentials: UserPass( '825c83c9-9a14-44eb-883a-af54f8078af0' ), filePath: '${WORKSPACE}/test.csv' , folderName: 'Default' , orchestratorAddress: 'https://test-orchestrator.somedomain.com' , orchestratorTenant: 'Default' , traceLoggingLevel: 'None' ) } } }

▶ UiPath Run tests
Application: Testing
Type: Postal service-Build task
UiPath Run tests is bachelor in standard jobs and pipelines, and lets you (i) run an existing Test Set on Orchestrator, or (two) package, deploy and run test cases, by specifying the path to a UiPath test projection.
Afterwards the examination run has finished, the Examination Result tab will exist published to the Jenkins build, showing the detailed results. Additionally, a JUnit test results file will be output to the examination result output path, when specified, or to the workspace root if not specified.
Depending on the consequence, the build will be either marked as successful (all test cases are passed), or unstable (at least one exam case failed).
Job parameter | Description |
---|---|
Target | (ane) Execute test set (specify an existing test set on UiPath Orchestrator) or (2) Execute test project (provide the project.json path of a UiPath Testing project) |
Examination consequence output path | The executed test set returns the test result as junit.xml. Specify the path where the result should be stored, relative to the Jenkins workspace directory (e.g. effect.xml). Optional |
Input Parameters | Define custom Arguments for your examination cases to override default values at the test prepare level. Through the arguments, you can parameterize the test cases at runtime. To define arguments, yous demand to have published a package with arguments. Optional |
Orchestrator address | The accost of the Orchestrator instance onto which the package(due south) will be deployed. |
Orchestrator tenant | The Orchestrator tenant onto which the bundle(due south) will be deployed. |
Orchestrator binder | The folder to deploy to. If the folder is a archetype folder, yous will also demand to prepare the environments field. For modern folders, setting the environments is not required. |
Environments | The environment onto which the package will be deployed as a process. For the projection and environment with existing processes, the processes will exist updated to use the latest projection version. Specify the environment onto which the package will be deployed as a process. For the project and environment with existing processes, the processes will exist updated to utilise the latest project version. Required when using a classic folder, otherwise not applicable. |
Authentication | For hallmark towards Orchestrator, credentials have to exist created in Jenkins upfront. There are ii options to authenticate: (1) Cosign to an On-Premise Orchestrator using username and password (two) Authenticate to a Deject Orchestrator using a refresh token (API central). The account name and API key are accessible via Services->API Access (see below for a detailed explanation on how to call back this) (three) Cosign to a Cloud Orchestrator using external app hallmark. |
Timeout (seconds) | The execution timeout for the test run. The default value is 7200 seconds. If the timeout exceeds before the execution on Orchestrator is finished and returned the final result, the built will cancel and be marked as failed. |
Trace logging level | Setting used to enable the trace logging to 1 of the post-obit level: None, Critical, Mistake, Warning, Data, Verbose. (default None). Useful for debugging purposes. |
pipeline { amanuensis whatever environment { MAJOR = 'ane' Small = '0' } stages { stage ( 'PostBuild' ) { steps { UiPathTest ( testTarget: [$course: 'TestSetEntry' , testSet: "My Test Prepare" ], orchestratorAddress: "OrchestratorUrl" , orchestratorTenant: "tenant proper name" , folderName: "binder proper name" , timeout: "10000" , traceLoggingLevel: 'None' , testResultsOutputPath: "issue.xml" , credentials: [$course: 'UserPassAuthenticationEntry' , credentialsId: "credentialsId" ] ) } } } }
Obtaining the Cloud Orchestrator API Cardinal
Configure service connection for external apps
Footstep 1: Configure your external application and scopes in Automation Cloud. After adding the application, keep the App ID, Clandestine and Application Scopes at hand, to be used for the next pace.
Annotation: If you generate and use a new Clandestine, the onetime one is going to be invalidated.
Step 2: Configure application credentials as secret text in Jenkins. For this step yous need the Secret generated in Automation Cloud.
Step three: Configure the Authentication for each job under Mail service-Build Actions, by calculation the Business relationship Proper name, followed past the App ID, Hush-hush and Application Scopes generated through Automation Cloud.
Note: Consider using the external app in individual pipelines to avert invalidation errors.
Boosted information
All paths specified should be local to the electric current workspace. You tin utilise surround variables in paths, though you should ensure that they effect in paths that are local to the workspace. All paths
In lodge to deploy packages or run tests, ensure that the authenticated user has the Folders View (or OrganizationUnits View) and (20.4+ only) Background Tasks View permissions.
In order to parcel libraries when connected to an Orchestrator instance, ensure that the authenticated user has the Libraries View permission.

Troubleshooting
Forbidden error
Folder/environment not establish
Packet already exists (Conflict)
Failed to run the control (Generic error))
Jenkins fails to process paths containing not-Latin characters
Unauthorized error
If using basic authentication:
- ensure the definiteness of the username-password combination on the spider web login
- if federated authentication is enabled, brand sure your write the username in the task as "DOMAIN\user"
If using token hallmark:
- Revoke the token from the API admission console and generate a new one
- Ensure that the user that generated the key has can access the Orchestrator and has a user on the Orchestrator instance
If authenticating against on an on-premise Orchestrator you might receive this mistake every bit a result of the certificate used for the Orchestrator non existence valid. This might mean that information technology has the wrong CN or other validation problems. Ensure that the Orchestrator document is valid and that the machine running the chore trusts the Orchestrator certificate in case you are using a self-signed certificate.
Forbidden error
Likely, the user does not have the permission to perform the action.
Ensure that the user has permissions to read folders, upload packages, create and update processes, read test sets and test cases, create and run test sets, read background tasks.
Folder/environment not constitute
Ensure that the authenticated user used by CI/CD plugins has the Folders.View and (xx.iv simply) BackgroundTask.View permissions.
Package already exists (Conflict)
Ensure that the package that yous are trying to deploy does non exist with the same version already. If information technology does, consider using automatic package versioning, so that the new version is bumped up every fourth dimension nosotros deploy.
Failed to run the command (Generic error)
If the Jenkins workspace is inside a location on disk (similar C:\Windows or C:\Program Files) to which the user does not accept permissions, ensure that the workspace is placed on a path that can be accessed smoothly by the user
Jenkins fails to procedure paths containing non-Latin characters
Jenkins is not able to pass correctly not-standard encoded characters when invoking the UiPath Plugin. The unknown characters will be replaced by ???.
The solution depends on how Jenkins is deployed on both the server and the agent host machines, but involves setting "file.encoding" to UTF-eight in Java options:
-
Windows
- Running Jenkins in Windows as a Service In the service configuration file add together the arguments into the tag. It should await like this:
<arguments>-Xrs -Xmx512m -Dhudson.lifecycle=hudson.lifecycle.WindowsServiceLifecycle -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -jar "%BASE%\jenkins.war" --httpPort=8080 --webroot="%Base of operations%\war"</arguments>
- Running Jenkins within Docker The JAVA_OPTS should exist passed to the container via --env JAVA_OPTS="..." similar the following:
docker run --name myjenkins -p 8080:8080 -p 50000:50000 --env JAVA_OPTS=-Dhudson.lifecycle=hudson.lifecycle.WindowsServiceLifecycle -Dfile.encoding=UTF-viii jenkins/jenkins:lts
- Running Jenkins inside Tomcat Use environment variable CATALINA_OPTS:
export CATALINA_OPTS="-DJENKINS_HOME=/path/to/jenkins_home/ -Dhudson.lifecycle=hudson.lifecycle.WindowsServiceLifecycle -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -Xmx512m"
-
Linux
- Debian / Ubuntu based Linux distributions In the configuration file search for the argument JAVA_ARGS and add together the file enconding. It might look similar this:
JAVA_ARGS="-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -Xmx512m"
- RedHat Linux based distributions In the configuration file search for the argument JENKINS_JAVA_OPTIONS and add the file enconding. It might look similar this:
JENKINS_JAVA_OPTIONS="-Dfile.encoding=UTF-viii -Xmx512m"
