Design Automation fails with : failedInstructions - autodesk-forge

Question

I am trying to run a Revit plugin on Design Automation. Workitem fails with failedInstructions error. In the logs I can find "Error details: The system cannot find the file specified." Does that refer to the Revit file? Or the AppBundle? The input file is from BIM 360, the workitem contains a link and the header to download the Revit file and it seems like there are no issues there. I have also debugged the plugin locally using DesignAutomationHandler and that seems to work fine. Not sure what's missing.

Answer 1

By having a closer look at the report above, the problem is at the command line.
"T:\Aces\AcesRoot\22.0\coreEngine\Exe/revitcoreconsole.exe /i T:\Aces\Jobs\bc24e48e8f7548fe9262db12a7556055\rac_basic_sample_project.rvt /al T:\Aces\Applications\53f4ce6d27cb3f9b8d6727a1bc6e1b36.WDQIfAV8PqNa9XSKPmv6MDu3xAtLGfXI.Revit2ProtoExporter[72].package" cannot be identified as an executable, so it complained "Error details: The system cannot find the file specified."
The correct way to define command line, e.g.
"commandLine": [ "$(engine.path)\\\\revitcoreconsole.exe /i \"$(args[rvtFile].path)\" /al \"$(appbundles[RVTIOExportTestPackage2019].path)\"" ]
See the quotes around $(args[rvtFile].path)and $(appbundles[RVTIOExportTestPackage2019].path)
