Spyder trouble

[brad.bylls]

When I click 'Edit' to work on a script, nothing happens, Spyder does not come up with the script.

@brad.bylls, Spyder is replaced by VS Code in September 2019 release.

Hello,

You can't use Spyder anymore. The official IDE is now Visual Studio Code.
There is also an alternative for PyCharm (see here).

Hi Rushikesh,

Thanks for the update, however, when I debug in VSC I get an error message:

Exception has occurred: ModuleNotFoundError

No module named 'adsk'

This is at line 4:   import adsk.core, adsk.fusion, traceback

[brad.bylls]

Just realized that the script was already in VSC when I got the error message. Fusion was not open.

However, when I go to debug the script from Fusion360. nothing happens.

A dos window pops up for a second and then nothing, no VSC window for debugging.

Do I need to do something in Fusion to set it for VSC?

@brad.bylls can you try below steps and see if it works:

- Close Fusion and VS Code and launch VS Code independently.

- go to the Extensions tab in VS Code 
- click on the Settings button ⚙ of the Python extension
- select "Install Another Version..."
- select 2019.9.34911

- close VS Code

- Launch Fusion and try to debug a script.

You can refer the content under 'Problem debugging Python code' of https://modthemachine.typepad.com/my_weblog/fusion-360/

Regards,

Rushikesh Kadam.

Actually, it works with newer versions of the plugin (e.g. 2020.6.91350)

[brad.bylls]

Thank you, that worked.

It is an older version than what I had but . . .

[brad.bylls]

This works also, so I will keep the newer version.

Thank you.
