This page provides instructions on debugging, running, and publishing your coded automations.

## Debugging

Debugging coded automations resembles the debugging process for low-code automations. You can set breakpoints, utilize debugging panels, and enable profile execution. Also, the debug running mode stops on each affected line, so you can troubleshoot. Visit [About Debugging](https://docs.uipath.com/studio/standalone/2023.10/user-guide/about-debugging) to learn more about debugging automations in Studio.

:::note
You can't perform remote debugging on coded automations.

## Running

You can run coded automations similarly to how you would run a low-code automation. In the **Design** tab in Studio, click **Run** to run the whole project, or **Run File** to run the current file.

Visit [Start Debugging](https://docs.uipath.com/studio/standalone/2023.10/user-guide/about-debugging) at the bottom of the page, to learn about running automations in Studio.

## Validation

You can run the **Workflow Analyzer** to check your project for inconsistencies unrelated to project execution. This ensures that your project meets high quality and reliability standards. After you run the **Workflow Analyzer**, in the **Error List** panel you can see compilation messages and errors. The panel shows validation errors, warnings, and messages specific to both XAML (low-code automations) and CS files (coded automations).
:::note
In comparison to low-code automations, you are unable to manage the rules that govern the analysis process.

## Publishing

To publish a Studio project, you can select the **Publish** option in the **Design** tab ribbon. By default, all files in the project folder are published except for test cases.

You can prevent a specific file from being included in the published package by right-clicking it in the **Project** panel and selecting **Ignore from Publish**. Otherwise, right-click a file in the **Project** panel and select **Set as publishable**.

Projects can be published to Orchestrator, a custom NuGet feed, or locally. After publishing to Orchestrator, the archived project is displayed on the **Packages** page, and you can create a process to be distributed to Robots. To publish a project, the `project.json` and `design.json` files in the project folder must not be in a read-only location.

Visit [About Publishing Automation Projects](https://docs.uipath.com/studio/standalone/2023.10/user-guide/about-publishing-automation-projects#about-publishing-automation-projects) to learn how to publish your projects.

## Supported runtimes

Coded automations support the following runtimes:

* **Robot** - You can deploy coded automations on Robots that support the Windows framework versions 2022.4 and higher.
* **Orchestrator** - You can deploy coded automations on any version of Orchestrator that's in support.

## Converting coded automations

You can convert a coded workflow to a coded test case and the other way around. To convert a coded automation, right-click the file in the **Project** panel and select **Convert to Test Case** or **Convert to Workflow**.
