Pyrevit: Pyrevit 4.6+ Load Error Revit 2019

[DarioMariuzzi]

Greetings,

I have just installed Pyrevit 4.6.6 as 4.6.5 was giving a load error which results in Pyrevit not loading into Revit 2019. 4.6.6 is also giving a similar error.

I have included screenshots of the Pyrevit load screen for reference.

Any assistance for this awesome product would be greatly appreciated.

[eirannejad]

Hey would you be able to send me a list of directories under:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\.NETFramework

Curious to know if the compiler is somehow pulling an older version of System.dll

Also please replace the file below with the file in the attached zip and see if this resolves the issue.

pyrevitlib\pyrevit\loader\basetypes\__init__.py

basetypes-init.zip

[DarioMariuzzi]

Greetings Ehsan,

Thanks for the help.

Folders listed are v3.5 and v4.0

File replaced still results in error. Am rebooting now will retry and screen grab if same

[DarioMariuzzi]

No Joy,

Have screen grabbed Pyrevit startup

[eirannejad]

Okay. Would you mind installing a more recent dotnet framework on your machine and test again?
Dotnet 4.7.1 Download Link is Here

I've also updated the cli tool to report the latest installed dotnet framework version for debugging. Download from here and run pyrevit env (Check the version first with pyrevit -V and make sure you have 0.2.11) in your terminal and share results:

https://github.com/eirannejad/pyRevitLabs/releases

[cpercer]

@eirannejad This is the exact same issue I'm having. I installed CLI v0.2.13 but when I run pyrevit -V I still get v0.2.10.0

[eirannejad]

@cpercer You have pyRevit installed separately as well. pyRevit includes the CLI tool in the bin directory and the installer adds it to the system %PATH%. Edit your system %PATH% environment variable and remove the path to the installed pyRevit bin directory Or move the pyRevit CLI path higher in the list of paths

[cpercer]

pyrevit -V now shows v0.2.13, but still receiving same load screen error on startup of Revit 2018.3.

[eirannejad]

@cpercer Ok. Please share the results on pyrevit env command here. Thanks!

[cpercer]

[eirannejad]

@DarioMariuzzi Any updates on this https://github.com/eirannejad/pyRevit/issues/429#issuecomment-442701509? Did installing dotnet 4.7.1 resolve the issue?

[cpercer]

@eirannejad I'm having the same issue and installing dotnet 4.7.1 did not resolve the issue.

[eirannejad]

Did my best at resolving the references to this issue (error in Visual studio). Updates will be published in 4.6.9 this weekend. Please re-open the issue if it persists.

[wta12]

Please reopen this issue.
I could not install pyrevit 4.6.9 for 2018 version. I updated from 4.5 with RVT 2017 to 4.6.8 - same error shows up then completely uninstalled Revit 2017 and install Revit 2018. Stills same error

[cpercer]

@eirannejad still having the same issue 4.6.9 Revit 2018.3.2

[eirannejad]

@cpercer This is beyond me! :/ So it's working fine in 2017 but not in 2018?

[cpercer]

@eirannejad I get the same errors in 2017.

The problems seem isolated to this machine. Working fine on another machine.

[eirannejad]

@cpercer Would you please download and extract the modified __init__.py file and:

• overwrite ...\pyrevitlib\pyrevit\loader\basetypes\__init__.py with this file
• open a prompt and run pyrevit caches clear --all
• Launch Revit again

basetypes init.zip

[cpercer]

@eirannejad doing better, but still get errors with 2017 and 2018.

[eirannejad]

Are you sure you replaced the correct file??
..\pyrevitlib\pyrevit\loader\basetypes\__init__.py
not
..\pyrevitlib\pyrevit\loader\__init__.py

[cpercer]

D'oh! Let's try this again...

Still getting the same errors in 2017 and 2018

[eirannejad]

Okay. I really need to find a way to be able to replicate this issue. No matter what machine I use, I can't replicate it which is driving me crazy.

[wta12]

Dunno if I am in similar situation with cpercer:
I am using mostly portable software for regular works. Some of my critical installed SWs are:

• Windows 10 Edu x64 1803
• Visual Studio 2017
• miniconda with Python 3.5
• Office 2016
• VS code Portable
• Kaspersky Total Sec
• Ameio Backupper
• VM player
• Java
  @eirannejad: Is zip folder install of PyRevit 4.5 stills usable with Revit 2018 - I tried to run install .bat from zip folder, but it shows errors? My laptop (W7) stills run with Revit 2017 plus Pyrevit 4.5. Don't need more than that for developer works.

[FrenchQuarters]

I am been having the exact same issue.

[eirannejad]

Hey guys, is there anyway we can chat somewhere so I can quickly gather more info from you and test a few things? Let me know what time works best.

[FrenchQuarters]

Sure. would like you to call or chat? my email is [email protected]. Write to me and we can take it on from there. Thanks!

[wta12]

sent to your email from cn*[email protected].
I am at Central time zone. Let me know if I could anything.

[cpercer]

I am central time zone as well. email is [email protected]

[FrenchQuarters]

I am in Central Time as well. We can schedule a conference call. I am open most of this week. Else, is you want to directly call me, feel free to.

Thanks.

[eirannejad]

Thanks guys. Let's start with @cpercer. I'll send you an invite soon.

[eirannejad]

@cpercer Hey bud. Would you test something else please. Copy the System.dll file from C:\Windows\Microsoft.Net\assembly\GAC_MSIL\System\v4.0_4.0.0.0__b77a5c561934e089\ to ...\pyRevit-Master\bin directory. This would hopefully force pyRevit to load that dll instead. Let's see if this resolves the issue.

[FrenchQuarters]

Ehsan,
I realize you asked only @cpercer to try replacing the system.dll. Nonetheless, I went ahead and did that on my machine. But that did not fix the issue. I am still getting the exact error messag across all versions of Revit.

[eirannejad]

@FrenchQuarters Awesome thanks a lot. I did a few tests on @cpercer's machine today so hence I asked him to do the test. Thanks a lot for the quick feedback!

[cpercer]

@eirannejad It's still pulling from v4.5 that we put on my desktop. When I remove the folder from the desktop, I get the error, "pyRevitloader.dll can not be found."

Also, when I run the compile test from the python terminal no dll is created.

[eirannejad]

@FrenchQuarters @cpercer All I'm thinking right now is that this could be an addin conflict with another addin maybe. Could you guys share a list of addins or maybe temp remove all the files (copy to another location temporarily) in %programdata%/Autodesk/Revit/Addins/2018 and %appdata%/Autodesk/Revit/Addins/2018 and test with a clean Revit and no addons except pyRevit. (copy back the pyRevit.addin manifest file in %appdata%)

[eirannejad]

@cpercer open a prompt and run pyrevit attach master 277 --installed. It would recreate the addin manifest file that we edited

[cpercer]

@eirannejad I removed all add-ins, but the error persists.

[eirannejad]

Ugh. @cpercer Thanks a lot.

[FrenchQuarters]

Ehsan,

You are having a bad moment here. But, let me take the opportunity to tell you that you have created one of the most useful, well designed, and well thought out addins for Revit. I have really appreciated having it. Thank you very much for that.
Hopefully you’ll straighten out this bug fast, and I look forward to once again start using this awesome tool.

Thanks!

[eirannejad]

@FrenchQuarters You made my day! Thanks a lot. Yeah hopefully we'll figure out the root issue soon and will get rid of this nasty bug.

[eirannejad]

You have no idea how happy I am to see this error on my machine! Finally tracked down the root cause

[eirannejad]

Okay one more time and hopefully the last. Would you please download and extract the modified __init__.py file and:

• overwrite ...\pyrevitlib\pyrevit\loader\basetypes\__init__.py with this file. There are many __init__.py files in these directories so make sure you're replacing the correct one.
• open a prompt and run pyrevit caches clear --all
• Launch Revit again

basetypes-init.zip

[wta12]

PyRevit loaded in my PC. Great thanks for your effort.

[DarioMariuzzi]

Greetings All,

Apologies for my lack of input over the last few weeks, have been on leave. I will be able to pick up again when in office on Monday.

Just wanted to take this opportunity to echo @FrenchQuarters sentiment that PyRevit is an indespensible tool for use with Revit. Ehsan the Revit world is grateful to you for PyRevit. Thank You!!

[cpercer]

SUCCESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@eirannejad Thank you so much for the fantastic tools and the out of this world support! You've inspired me to start learning coding and hopefully contribute to these tools someday. I encourage everyone who benefits by using these tools to become a patron and support the best Revit add-in available.

Thank you!!!!

[FrenchQuarters]

Yes! Success for me as well!!
Thank you very much Ehsan!

[eirannejad]

Viva pyRevit community and supporters. Thanks guys for helping me figure out this issue! Closing now and will publish with 4.6.10 tonight.

[FrenchQuarters]

Ehsan,

Bad new – the same problem is back with recent version of PyRevit.

[eirannejad]

That's so odd. Nothing has changed on pyRevit loading mechanism tho. What was the last working version of pyRevit you used?

[mhmtbdr]

where is the directory

[FrenchQuarters]

The problem autoresolved…!
It happened the first time opening every version of Revit after the installation of PyRevit. But second time on, it worked fine.

Have this problem. Understand it is resolved. Out of my element as soon as I have to do anything with a command prompt. Let's take some baby steps.

I found the pyrevitlib > pyrevit > loader folder. However there was no basetype folder within that folder. Should I add one and paste the _init_.py file from your zip in there?

Thank you for your help with this.

Hello! I think I'm having a similar problem where I can't install the new pyrevit due to it not being able to delete the old one. I've already gone in and deleted all the pyrevit folders from the previous version, but I'm still getting this error. Please help! (sorry, I have no coding skills)... trying to download pyrevit for Revit2020 - although had previously tried to download for 2019 and had the same error.
Any help greatly appreciated!
Thanks! ~Mish
