UiPath Activity Creator - Could not find a part of the path

94 views Asked by At

So i was been creating activities for uipath from now 5-6 months or so with the old method , manually creating a .netframework project and adding all the input and output arguments for the activity

now as Activity Creator is better way to create custom activity i thought to give it a chance, but i dont know why im unable to publish it , im getting this error

|Severity|Code|Description|Project|File|Line|Suppression State|

|Error||Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Users\HP\source\repos\IndieDev91.DateTimeOperations\IndieDev91.DateTimeOperations\IndieDev91.DateTimeOperations.Activities.Design\obj\Debug\net6.0-windows\IndieDev91.DateTimeOperations.Activities.Design_jassvpr0_wpftmp.GeneratedMSBuildEditorConfig.editorconfig'.|IndieDev91.DateTimeOperations.Activities.Design|C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\MSBuild\Current\Bin\Roslyn\Microsoft.Managed.Core.targets|190|

I was following this video |

Here is the code from my side in the Activity

 protected override async Task<Action<AsyncCodeActivityContext>> ExecuteAsync(AsyncCodeActivityContext context, CancellationToken cancellationToken)
        {
            // Inputs
            var timeout = TimeoutMS.Get(context);
            var firstDate = FirstDate.Get(context);
            var secondDate = SecondDate.Get(context);

            // Set a timeout on the execution
            var task = ExecuteWithTimeout(context, cancellationToken);
            if (await Task.WhenAny(task, Task.Delay(timeout, cancellationToken)) != task) throw new TimeoutException(Resources.Timeout_Error);
            int differenceInDays = 0; // Declare outside the try block
            //My Code
            try
            {
                // Check if the dates have the same date component
                if (firstDate.Date == secondDate.Date)
                {
                    throw new ArgumentException("Both dates have the same date component.");
                }
                // Calculate the difference in days
                var timeDifference = secondDate.Date - firstDate.Date;
                 differenceInDays = Math.Abs(timeDifference.Days);

            }
            catch(Exception ex)
            {

            }
            // Outputs
            return (ctx) => {
                Output.Set(ctx, differenceInDays.ToString());
            };
        }

the only modicfication that i had made is to add a custom icon for the activity here was the icon i have used

also when i opend the Designer.XAML i was not able to see any disgn view as there was some error , here are the errors
