uip vss init

uip vss init initializes a new vertical solution in place. It writes a vss.json at the project root with empty processes and connections lists. Use init when you already have a project layout and want to drop the solution config into it; reach for uip vss scaffold when you want the upstream template cloned for you.

Synopsis​

uip vss init [options]

Options​

FlagDescription
-t, --target-path <targetPath>Target directory. Defaults to the current working directory.
-n, --name <name>Vertical solution name. If omitted, the tool prompts interactively.

Examples​

# Interactive — the tool prompts for the name
uip vss init

# Non-interactive — name supplied up front
uip vss init --name "My App"

# Explicit target directory
uip vss init --name "My App" --target-path ./my-app

Data shape (--output json)​

{
  "Code": "VerticalSolutionInitialized",
  "Data": {
    "Status": "Initialized successfully",
    "Path": "/Users/alice/my-app/vss.json"
  }
}

init fails if the target directory does not exist or already contains a vss.json.

  • uip vss scaffold — clone the upstream template instead of initializing in place.
  • uip vss add — register processes against the new vss.json.
  • uip vss sync — reconcile the solution with UiPath Cloud once processes are added.
