Populated admin folder, exporter doesn't export anything

[orbitinstasis]

Log file below, but the exporter doesn't seem to export anything. I know i have about 15 projects in my admin folder, and i've tried using different options in the dialogue box.

Not sure. Can you get it to work anywhere?

I am unable to login on another machine to try because the email expired.

I'm having a similar issue. I installed the script and exported one project which worked fine. Then I ran it again selecting another project, but it failed to export the project. Here is the log:

I tried removing the script, restarting Fusion and re-installing but still nothing installs and the message (and log file) is:

@orbitinstasis by "anywhere" I meant "any project"? @twilkinson mentions it works in one project but not another. Any more info about what projects it does vs doesn't work in might help us figure out what is going on.

For @twilkinson specifically, if you're not getting a log line like "Visiting folder" (from here) then you might try throwing in some more log() calls in main here. You should be able to modify the Exporter.py file in place, should be in %AppData%\Autodesk\Autodesk Fusion 360\API\Scripts on Windows I think.

Maybe this has to do with filtering projects/folders? readme, it is perhaps a bit poorly explained but if you select <root> then we don't descend into subsequent folders, only projects that are in the root folder are exported

[twilkinson]

I've narrowed it down to whether or not I check the "Show Project Folders" option. If checked, the project I select is NOT exported, if unchecked the project I select is exported.

[aconz2]

Okay that is helpful. When "Show Project Folders" is selected, the "Export Projects" list should get populated with a {project}/{folder} combination, like Fusion Mastery/<root>, Fusion Mastery/folderA ... WoodenBicycle/<root>, WoodenBicycle/folderB. Does yours do that?

[twilkinson]

When "Show Project Folders" is selected it looks like this:

[aconz2]

Hmm where am I getting the <root> thing from? Maybe Fusion used to use that as the root folder name (code here).

Anyways, to double check, if you then check WoodenBicycle/WoodenBicycle, does anything get exported? And are your files all within the top level folder of WoodenBicycle?

[twilkinson]

Here are the selections:

There are no files exported:

The project contains 2 documents:

Ok, thanks for the detailed debugging you've done. Seems like that should be working, I'll have to try some testing on my end. In the meantime I think the suggested workaround is to not use "Show Project Folders".

[orbitinstasis]

I don't know if it was the fix but not using show project folders was when it worked.
