UiPath-ADAv1 Version Control and Libraries Practice Question
A developer is building a library in UiPath Studio that performs common Excel operations. A workflow inside the library uses the Excel Application Scope activity and relies on the UiPath.Excel.Activities package. When the developer publishes the library to Orchestrator and another team installs it, they report that their process fails with a 'Missing activity' error even though their project already references a different version of UiPath.Excel.Activities. What should the developer have done to prevent this dependency conflict?
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap here is assuming that the consuming project's existing reference automatically satisfies the library's dependency, when version resolution can still fail without a strict version constraint.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Set the UiPath.Excel.Activities dependency in the library's project.json to a specific version and mark it as a strict dependency.
The library must declare its dependency on UiPath.Excel.Activities with a specific version and mark it as strict so that the consuming project resolves a compatible version. Without this, NuGet may pick a different version, causing missing activity errors. Pinning and marking strict is the standard way to ensure library dependencies are honored.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Convert the Excel-dependent workflows into Invoke Code activities so the library no longer references UiPath.Excel.Activities.
Why it's wrong here
Rewriting the workflows as Invoke Code would remove the dependency but also discard the built-in Excel activity behavior and error handling the library is meant to provide. It does not address the version conflict itself and increases maintenance effort. This is a workaround, not a proper dependency management solution.
- ✗
Publish the library as a template instead of a library package so that the Excel activities are bundled directly into the consumer project.
Why it's wrong here
Templates are meant to scaffold new projects and do not manage runtime dependencies. Publishing as a template would not bundle the Excel activity package or resolve the version conflict. It would also change how the library is consumed and is not appropriate for a reusable component.
- ✗
Instruct the consuming team to uninstall all other versions of UiPath.Excel.Activities from their Orchestrator tenant and reinstall only the version used by the library.
Why it's wrong here
Forcing all teams to standardize on a single version across the tenant is impractical and fragile. It does not solve the root cause in the library and can break other processes that depend on different versions. Dependency management should be handled within the package manifest, not by tenant-wide uninstalls.
- ✓
Set the UiPath.Excel.Activities dependency in the library's project.json to a specific version and mark it as a strict dependency.
Why this is correct
Pinning the dependency to a specific version and marking it strict ensures that the consuming process uses a compatible version, preventing the missing activity error caused by version mismatch. It makes the library's contract explicit and reproducible, which is the recommended practice when sharing libraries across teams.
