Run Python Script

UiPath.Python.Activities.RunScript

Enables you to execute Python code. You can input the code directly in the activity or provide a file path for it.

It can only be used inside the Python Scope activity.

Due to a software limitation, this activity uses, by default, the installation location of the Python activity package as the run directory for the script.

To be able to use relative paths inside the script, you can add the following code to the loaded script as a workaround:

import sys 
            import os
            sys.path.append(os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(<em>file</em>)))
            import <your module here>import sys 
            import os
            sys.path.append(os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(<em>file</em>)))
            import <your module here>
