GithubToFusion360 - Install script or add-in from Github repo automatically

JeromeBriot — Tue, 01 Feb 2022 10:39:22 GMT

Hello,

here is a Python code that automatically install a Fusion 360 script (or add-in) from a Github repository. It works on Windows and on Mac. Watch the screencast attached to view the code in action (or see it there: http://autode.sk/2DMnEN9)

The script (or add-in) code must be in the root directory of the Github repo. The manifest file is also mandatory.

I attached a zip file with the Python code and the manifest file for the moment. So you need to manually install GithubToFusion360. But if people find it useful, I will submit this to the Autodesk app store (for free).

Waiting for your comments.

Thank you

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! To you sir, I tip my hat.

I have been wanting to do something like this for a long time. But haven't gotten around to it.

How would you feel if we included this as 'sample code' in the product? No guarantees, but I bet I can twist some arms to make it happen.

I already have some enhancement ideas 🙂 LOL

Hey man is there somewhere else you would want people to go for this? I was going to link to it and re-write my install guides to just use this, but I'd like to point people to the proper place to reference your work.

Hello Patrick,

GithubToFusion works on Windows only for the moment because I recently found a problem with the version of OpenSSL used by Fusion 360 on Mac. See this thread: [Python] Outdated version of OpenSSL on Mac ?.

So I will first submit the addin to the Autodesk App store for Windows only. This will be done in a couple of days.

Hello,

Now I need to find a way to modifiy the first message of this thread to remove the zip file…

Thanks

Hello,

I just found a potential bug in the add-in. I already submitted a fix but it may take time before it will be available in the app store.

The code may (misteriously) complain about "module 'urllib' has no attribute 'request'":

If you face this issue, edit the file GitHubToFusion360.py and modify line #7 from:

import urllib

to:

import urllib, urllib.request

So it will force the module to import.

Screencast will be displayed here after you click Post.

Hello,

I'm pleased to announce that GitHub2Fusion360 will be available on Mac soon!

I finally found a workaround to the SSL limitation. I spent hours trying to find a solution in Python without success. The version of Python shipped with Fusion 360 is linked against the outdated version of OpenSSL on Mac. The only way I found is to use a command system with the "subprocess" module (more informations in the thread quoted above).

Many thanks to all those who have already installed GitHub2Fusion360.

Hello,

A new version 2.2.0 is available on the App Store (Windows & Mac)

I added a workaround to manage this bug: [Bug] NMachineSpecificOptions.xml not valid (prefix IronPostProcess-builtin)

I also removed the workround for macOS:

The version of Python shipped with Fusion 360 is linked against the outdated version of OpenSSL on Mac. The only way I found is to use a command system with the "subprocess" module (more informations in the thread quoted above).

This was no more needed since the upgrade of the version of Python installed with Fusion 360.
