UiPath Runtime abstractions

UiPath Runtime

Core runtime abstractions and contracts for the UiPath Python SDK.

Overview

uipath-runtime provides the foundational interfaces and base classes for building agent runtimes in the UiPath ecosystem. It defines the contracts that all runtime implementations must follow, handles execution context, event streaming, tracing, and error management.

This package is typically used as a dependency by higher-level packages like uipath-langchain, uipath-llamaindex, or the main uipath SDK. You would use this directly only if you're building custom runtime implementations.

Installation

uv add uipath-runtime

Core Concepts

Runtime Base Class

All runtimes extend UiPathBaseRuntime and implement these core methods:

from uipath.runtime import UiPathBaseRuntime, UiPathRuntimeContext, UiPathRuntimeResult, UiPathRuntimeEvent

class MyCustomRuntime(UiPathBaseRuntime):
    def __init__(self, context: UiPathRuntimeContext):
        super().__init__(context)

    async def execute(self) -> UiPathRuntimeResult:
        # Execute your agent logic
        return UiPathRuntimeResult(
            output={"result": "success"},
            status=UiPathRuntimeStatus.SUCCESSFUL
        )

    async def stream(
        self,
    ) -> AsyncGenerator[Union[UiPathRuntimeEvent, UiPathRuntimeResult], None]:
        # Stream events during execution for real-time monitoring
        yield UiPathRuntimeStateEvent(
            payload={"status": "starting"},
            execution_id=self.context.execution_id
        )

        # Yield final result
        yield UiPathRuntimeResult(
            output={"completed": True},
            status=UiPathRuntimeStatus.SUCCESSFUL
        )

    async def validate(self) -> None:
        # Validate configuration before execution
        if not self.context.entrypoint:
            raise UiPathRuntimeError(
                UiPathErrorCode.ENTRYPOINT_MISSING,
                "Missing entrypoint",
                "Detailed error message here",
                UiPathErrorCategory.USER,
            )

    async def cleanup(self) -> None:
        # Clean up resources after execution
        pass

Runtime Factory

The factory pattern handles runtime instantiation, instrumentation, and tracing:

from uipath.runtime import UiPathRuntimeFactory, UiPathRuntimeContext

factory = UiPathRuntimeFactory(
    MyCustomRuntime,
    UiPathRuntimeContext,
)

# Add OpenTelemetry instrumentation
factory.add_instrumentor(MyInstrumentor, get_current_span)

# Add span exporters for tracing
factory.add_span_exporter(JsonLinesFileExporter("trace.jsonl"))

# Execute
context = UiPathRuntimeContext(entrypoint="main.py", input='{"query": "hello"}')
result = await factory.execute(context)

Event Streaming

Runtimes can stream events during execution for real-time monitoring:

async for event in factory.stream(context):
    if isinstance(event, UiPathRuntimeStateEvent):
        print(f"State update: {event.payload}")
    elif isinstance(event, UiPathRuntimeMessageEvent):
        print(f"Message: {event.payload}")
    elif isinstance(event, UiPathRuntimeResult):
        print(f"Completed: {event.output}")

Execution Context

Runtime context carries configuration and state throughout execution:

context = UiPathRuntimeContext(
    entrypoint="agent.py",
    input='{"query": "hello"}',
    job_id="job-123",
    resume=False,
)

Error Handling

Structured error handling with categorization:

from uipath.runtime.error import (
    UiPathRuntimeError,
    UiPathErrorCode,
    UiPathErrorCategory
)

raise UiPathRuntimeError(
    UiPathErrorCode.EXECUTION_ERROR,
    "Failed to execute agent",
    "Detailed error message here",
    UiPathErrorCategory.USER,
)
