Recurring error in Fusion for missing Eagle libraries

I think this is the right place to report an issue. Anyway, I recently ran into an error in Fusion 360 that had to do with Eagle libraries.

Version: 2.0.9144
Active Plan: Fusion 360, Student
macOS 10.15.2

Issue: When I close my laptop running Fusion 360 then reopen it at a later time, I would get a series of errors saying that Eagle library files are missing. The only option at first was to force quit fusion and not deal with the error. But I would lose any unsaved work. I'm not sure why these files are even being loaded or used when I'm not using Eagle for the designs I have open.

Error message:

Failed to open '/Users/username/Library/Application Support/Eagle/lbr/adsk.eagle_library_179/con-phoenix-mkds_5.lbr'.

Background: I had to recently uninstall Fusion 360 manually and reinstall. In the process library files must have been deleted in the directory above.. I think. But not sure. Once I first encountered the error, I tried to update my install of Eagle to find it didn't not resolve the issue.

To resolve the issue I did the following:

1. Opened Eagle

2. Made a new schematic

3. Opened the library manager

4. Clicked the Available tab.

5. Clicked "Install Bundled Libraries"

6. Went back to fusion to see the errors gone.

When I looked in the /Users/username/Library/Application Support/Eagle/lbr folder I found it installed all the missing libraries.

I have reported similar issue- kind of missing electron/neutron files. Have you had similar errors?

However I have never hibernate computer when fusion was opened. I always closing fusion before going to hibernate.

This is clearly a bug with Fusion 360. Your workaround fixed the problem for the moment, but the real problem is that Fusion 360 is looking for all the bundled Eagle libraries when it wakes up. I reported this to customer support and hopefully it will be fixed. (Fusion 360 and Eagle standalone paid versions running on Dell XPS laptop with Win 10)
