# Pack with an explicit version
uip maestro flow pack ./invoice-flow ./dist --version 1.2.0

# Override the package name
uip maestro flow pack ./invoice-flow ./dist --name Invoicing.Flow --version 1.2.0

Known issue — Solution pack

When a Flow project is added to a solution (uip solution project add) and packed with uip solution pack, the resulting .nupkg inside the solution zip can be missing critical files (.bpmn, .flow, entry-points.json, bindings_v2.json).

The root cause is a non-recursive copyFiles() helper in the published @uipath/tool-flow — it silently skips the content/ and flow_files/ subdirectories. uip maestro flow pack uses a recursive copy and is not affected.

Workaround: use uip maestro flow pack directly to produce deployable .nupkg files until the solution pipeline is fixed.
