Saving Workflow - "Object reference not set to an instance of an object"

Hi @Satishgoud799, 

Thank you for your question to the Community!

I moved your post to the Designer Discussions forum there you can ask anything technical about Designer. 

This article "Q&A: Where Do I Post My Questions?" should also help you out. 

Let us know how it goes!

Cheers,

Hi @Satishgoud799 ,

this is probably due to you referencing a file in your workflow that is stored locally, or in a location that is not accessible from the server and which your gallery is hosted.

To get around this you can save to a shared network location with relative pathing, or you can uncheck the "Validate workflow then save" option when publishing, however this will then package that data into the workflow and will therefore be static.

Hope this helps.

Could be that designer has a higher version than the server.  Make sure the designer version is equal or lower than the Alteryx server.

seeing the same issue, I can literally run the workflow directly on the server but it won't load into the Gallery

My memory is this ties into an interface tool not being able to load. So if an interface tool is pulling a file it can't access -> it might spit out this error. I normally see this specific error in UiPath ---> and I'd forgotten that this could even pop up in Alteryx. I believe this ties into .NET.

There's a few other posts relating to this error on community so try searching and seeing if any fit your problem --- also seeing this -> https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Desktop-Discussions/Export-does-not-find-any-depen... which would explain why it runs on server.
