Get the user name

[kandennti]

Hi everyone.

We wanted to get the active user name, so we created a test code like this.

# Fusion360API Python script
import adsk.core, adsk.fusion, traceback

def run(context):
    ui :adsk.core.UserInterface = None
    try:
        app :adsk.core.Application = adsk.core.Application.get()
        ui = app.userInterface
        
        user = app.currentUser
        info = [
            f'displayName : {user.displayName}',
            f'userName :{user.userName}',
            f'userId :{user.userId}',
            f'email :{user.email}',
            ]
        ui.messageBox('\n'.join(info))
    except:
        if ui:
            print('Failed:\n{}'.format(traceback.format_exc()))
            ui.messageBox('Failed:\n{}'.format(traceback.format_exc()))

Looking at the description of the displayName property, I thought I could get it with displayName.

The result is shown in the upper left of the image.

What is retrieved by displayName is the user name displayed in "My Profile".

Does anyone know how to get the user name displayed in the Fusion360 user interface?

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

Maybe :

import adsk.core

def run(context):
    ui = None
    try:
        app = adsk.core.Application.get()
        ui = app.userInterface

        userName = app.executeTextCommand('Options.Get LastFullUserNameId').split(" has value ")[-1]

        ui.messageBox(userName)

    except:
        if ui:
            ui.messageBox('Failed:\n{}'.format(traceback.format_exc()))

I can't test because this is the same name on my profile and on the Fusion 360 UI.
