带有 CustomExporter 插件的 Revit 设计自动化中的 FailedMissingOutput 错误

Question

I am trying to port a Revit plugin to design automation and keep running into failedInstructions error. It seems like the output file is missing:

[04/02/2020 23:29:05] Finished running.  Process will return: Success
[04/02/2020 23:29:05] ====== Revit finished running: revitcoreconsole ======

[04/02/2020 23:29:06] Error: Non-optional output [result.avr] is missing.
[04/02/2020 23:29:06] Error: An unexpected error happened during phase Publishing of job.
[04/02/2020 23:29:06] Job finished with result FailedMissingOutput
[04/02/2020 23:29:06] Job Status:

When I debug the build locally (following this ), the output file is in the sandbox folder at the end of the plugin run, so I am not sure what I am doing wrong.

The plugin basically is a CustomExporter and creates a binary file at the end of the export. Is it possible that I am saving the file to the wrong location? How should I acquire the location where the output file should be saved? Currently this is how I acquire it:

string path = Path.GetDirectoryName(designAutomationData.FilePath);

I am not sure if that's the best way to do it, it does work though when I locally debug the build.

Thanks!

Here is the error report that I got after changing the activity config:

Answer 1

Please check your activity config, you may have a required: true parameter like the below. Therefore, to fix it, you must change it to required: false , and here is a tutorial for modifying existing activity config: https://forge.autodesk.com/en/docs/design-automation/v3/tutorials/revit/step5-publish-activity/#step-3-update-an-existing-activity

{
    "commandLine": [
        "$(engine.path)\\\\revitcoreconsole.exe /i $(args[rvtFile].path) /al $(appbundles[DeleteWallsApp].path)"
    ],
    "parameters": {
        "rvtFile": {
            "verb": "get",

Answer 2

Ok I did a little more experimenting, and fixed the issue. I had some operations that I executed on background threads, none of which interacted with Revit API. They work fine when I run the plugin locally, but I assume I cannot use background threads on Forge. I would have expected that to show up as an error in the log though.
