JSON VBO compilation error

Anonymous — Wed, 07 Sep 2016 16:36:00 GMT

Hi, I have passed a json string [in key value format] to the JSON VBO action "JSON to Collection" which converts json string into a datatable. It's giving the following error: Internal : Could not run the object because one of the code stages has a compile error, use Check for Errors for a list of problems I checked the code stage of the vbo and the function "ConvertToDataTable()" which the VBO uses for convertion is present in the Global Code tab in the Initialize page. You can rule out the issue of incorrect parameters(or data type) being passed. In the error list , here's what's given: Page: Initialize Stage:1 Error: Could not find library Newtonsoft.json.dll Page:Initialize Stage:1 Error:Compiler initialization failed unexpectedly.The system cannot find the file specified. So I checked the Initialize page and in the Code Option tab, the library is there in the External Refernces block already. Am I missing something? ... Any help/suggestion to resolve the issue is appreciated. thanks

Hi, If you have added the missing library and saved the VBO file, the error should not appear. Did you saved the Business Object ? Maybe you need to close the file and reopen it, just in case :) KR, Omer

I'm experiencing the same thing and have submitted a ticket to Blue Prism regarding the issue. It works in debug mode, but can't run from the control room. I've tried adding waits, ensured the correct newtonsoft json dll file. I'm open to ideas anyone has while it is being worked by BP.

Ed. Can you try to reboot the resource machine and see if that fixes the issue? The last day or two I've had times it has started worked and times when it fails to from the control room. The last time it stopped working I tried a reboot and when it came back up it started working again. I'm not convinced that it's fixed, but it's something to try.

I am very interested in what

I am very interested in what is happening with this ticket. We are seeing the exact same problem as stvnhdmpa. We too have checked that everything has been properly installed(the object is able to find the Newtonsoft.json.dll just fine). Everything seems to work in debug mode. But in resource PC mode we invariably get the compilation error bug (rebooting makes no difference). I may add that we are running v5.0.23.

Ok, so we solved this for now

Ok, so we solved this for now. It seems that when running in resource PC mode, the DLLs in the BP installation directory will not be found (acutally this is a problem we have already noticed and are working around). We simply copied the Newstonsoft.Json.dll from the BP directory to the .net folder ( in our case C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319). Now everything works. Now I would love to know, exactly why the DLLs in the BP directory is not found. This appears to be working for other people, so I am wondering what we are doing wrong.

Dear Indika, We just run across the same issue and your proposed solution worked - thank you! Just out of curiosity, have you come up with any idea for why the problem occured at all? Thank you

Just ran into this and worked for me as well.

Has there been any updates…

ChrisRider — Tue, 05 Jun 2018 17:32:00 GMT

Has there been any updates on this issue? I'm using version 6.2.1 and have this issue. I have copied the Newtonsoft dll to the .net folder, but am still getting the error.

I found another post in this…

ChrisRider — Tue, 05 Jun 2018 20:29:00 GMT

I found another post in this forum where the person re-imported the VBO's. I tried this and it solved my problem. I had upgraded from v5.x to 6.2.1. I had never used these particular VBO's in the past, so don't know if they worked previously or not. Everything works great now.

I'm testing this currently,…

I'm testing this currently, so what I'm going to say below is suspect. I'll try to come back and confirm once enough time has passed to be sure the problem is fixed. I'm posting this now in case I forget to come back to this post. =) The Utility - JSON object's Business Object Properties (the information stage on the Initialise page) > Code Options tab > External References previously had this as an external reference: Newtonsoft.Json.dll I've changed it to this to see if it's as simple as BP not being able to find the dll: C:\Program Files\Blue Prism Limited\Blue Prism Automate\Newtonsoft.Json.dll

I am still facing this issue…

I am still facing this issue, can anyone help me if you have found any solid resolution? TIA
