Can't export FBX using a script. Error: "Error writing the FBX file..."

[bugus]

I'm getting this error on a python script that used to work. I've isolated the code to only be running the export:

cmds.file( path, force=True, type="FBX export", pr=True, es=True )

Since it last worked I have migrated to an M1 Mac computer from my Intel Mac and I've upgraded to Maya 2022 from Maya 2020. Though I tried installing Maya 2020 and testing the script there to see if it would work and I got the same error.

I checked to make sure that the FBX plugin is active. I also tried changing the code to use the mel FBXExport command instead of cmds.file like this:

mel.eval('FBXExport -f "{0}" -s'.format(path))

But this also doesn't work. The error message is not helpful and I am totally stumped about how to get this working again. I'd love any help or info.

Hi!

Could you post the full error message and the way you definde the "path" attribute?

Have a nice day!

Thanks for the response! It prompted me to test my path string. I changed it to just be the desktop and it worked so the problem was isolated. It turns out that a small error was made to the path string at some point after the code was last successfully used and I didn't notice. Thanks again!
