Unable to Run ANY Scripts in Fusion 360 - "SCRIPT ERROR"

I'm trying to run Python scripts in Fusion 360 to create a propeller design, but every script I try to execute returns only "SCRIPT ERROR" in the text console. This happens with all scripts, including very simple examples, suggesting a fundamental issue with the scripting environment rather than problems with any specific code.

System Information:

  • Fusion 360 Version: 2601.0.90 x86_64
  • Operating System: Windows 10 22H2 (19045.5608)
  • Python experience: Some familiarity with programming concepts, basic debugging

What I've Tried:

  • Verified that the file paths in my scripts are correct
  • Tried running Sample Scripts
  • Restarted Fusion 360 and my computer
  • Tried running my script from Python outside Fusion 360
  • Tried running some very simple scripts

Error Details:

When running any script through the Scripts and Add-Ins manager, I only see "SCRIPT ERROR" in the text console without any additional error messages or stack traces that could help diagnose the problem.

Should I put my script here too, to see what's wrong with it? From the Fusion Community Discord server, I see someone experienced the same thing before.

Questions:

  1. How do I fix this?
  2. What common issues can prevent ALL scripts from running?
  3. How can I access more detailed error messages beyond just "SCRIPT ERROR"?
  4. Are there specific configuration settings I should check?
  5. Could this be related to Python version compatibility or API issues?
  6. Are there any known conflicts with other add-ins that might cause this

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated as I'm trying to create a parametric propeller design and scripting would be the most efficient approach.

Hi @sammmm_tan -San.

 

Fusion360 cannot be run by external scripts.

Have you read this?
If you are getting an error including the sample scripts, then I think you are running it the wrong way.
