Project compatibility​

Cross-platform configuration​

  • Path - The path to the file or directory to be permanently deleted as a ILocalResource variable. You can toggle between using a local path or a variable of IResource type. If you are using a local path, relative folder paths are recommended to account for the different file structure between Windows and Linux machines when executing a project. Example: newFolder/otherFolder.

Advanced options​

Common​

  • Continue On Error - Specifies if the automation should continue even when the activity throws an error. This field only supports Boolean values (True, False). The default value is False. As a result, if the field is blank and an error is thrown, the execution of the project stops. If the value is set to True, the execution of the project continues regardless of any error.
    note

    If this activity is included in Try Catch and the value of the Continue On Error property is True, no error is caught when the project is executed.
