Start Process, Debug, Break Points add IN UiPath Studio(RPA)

There are four ways how you can run a process in UiPath Studio 8

1. From UiPath Studio
2. From UiPath Robot Agent
3. From command line
4. Through a REST command

Opening a project

There are two options available opening a project, by using the recent section on the right side of Start pane or by using the Open button in the top left corner of the window.

Running a project

To run a project from UiPath Studio you can either use the Run button from design tab(F5) or the Run button that appears when hovering over the Studio icon.

Debugging a project

UiPath Designer Surface allows you to observe the execution of a project and check it for errors.

This is useful for watching what an activity does, verifying the state of the project and the components with which it interacts and where does the project go wrong.

Visual Tracking

If you choose to run the project under the debug mode each activity that is executed at a specific moment is highlighted in the Designer Surface and its state is logged in the Output pane.

You can also choose to Highlight the UI Elements for every activity of the project so that you can visually identify which UI control is used by the currently running activity.

Slow execution

Unlike the normal running of a project, in debug mode the project is executed according to your settings .

Although you cannot change the order of the activities nor skip one, you can use step by step execution to get the chance of watching the project closely.

Normally the project is executed as fast as possible, but, when debugging, there is a slow step option which you can use.

Breakpoints and Step by step execution

You can bound breakpoints to activities. "Toggle breakpoint" will attach or detach a breakpoint to the selected activity even while debugging.

If a breakpoint is hit the execution of the project will pause before the end of currently running activity and will resume only when you enable it by using the "Step Into" buttons, you can even skip an activity by using the “Step Over” button.

You can also pause the project by using the “Break” button.

It is recommended to use breakpoints when you want to pause the debugging at a certain activity, so you can inspect the data it is working with and the current result.

Stopping a project

In UiPath Studio, you can stop the running of a project, normaly or in the debug mode,  with a simple button in the user interface. You can find this button in the Execute tab, between the Run and Start Debug Buttons.
