    “Deployment compilation failed – File not found”
    While compiling the bot for deployment, Automation Anywhere tried to access Get_new_users
    One or more files/resources referenced inside that task are missing or unreachable
    Because of this, the bot cannot run on the Bot Runner

     

    Add a Log Message at the start of Get_new_users:
    Copy code

    "Bot reached Get_new_users"
    If deployment still fails → issue is compile-time dependency If bot starts and fails → issue is runtime path/access

    Yes, Issue is still there after adding log message.
    issue is compile-time dependency
    what is the workaround?

    @teja 6683 Unfortunately, there is no easy answer.

    • Is this for a Task Bot?
    • Does this Task Bot call other Task Bots (e.g., using the Task Bot: Run action)?
    • Does it reference files uploaded to the Control Room (e.g., an Excel file or an XML config file)?
    • Was this automation moved? Does it work if you return it to its original location?

    Let’s start there.
