About UiPath CLI
UiPath® offers a command-line interface (CLI) that allows you to execute certain pre-defined tasks for RPA package management and testing. The purpose of the UiPath CLI is to easily integrate those capabilities with third-party tools like GitLab, Jenkins, and many others, without a plugin.
UiPath CLI can be used with Orchestrator deployed via Automation Cloud™ , Automation Suite, or standalone.
Common use cases for the UiPath CLI involve:
- Packing Studio projects into NuGet packages.
- Deploying NuGet packages to Orchestrator.
- Running jobs in Orchestrator.
- Running Test Sets in Orchestrator.
UiPath CLI consists of two types:
-
UiPath.CLI.Windows
- Runs on Windows devices only.
- Builds Windows - Legacy,Windows, and Cross-platform projects.
-
UiPath.CLI
- Runs on Linux devices only.
- Builds only Cross-platform projects.
-
UiPath CLI does not support SSO connection.
-
UiPath CLI cannot be used to build projects that use Local Triggers.
-
UiPath CLI lacks the functionality to sign a package, a feature that is available when you publish the package from Studio. In this case, the only option is to sign the package after it is built using UiPath CLI. For details, see the sign command. This signing option works also for Azure DevOps and Jenkins.
- For UiPath.CLI, install .NET 6.0.7, that comes with the 6.0.302 SDK, or higher.
- For UiPath.CLI.Windows, install .NET 6.0.7or higher. You must also install .NET Desktop Runtime, that comes with the .NET SDK as well.
