How to interpret this error message from Forge Automation API? - autodesk-forge

Question

I'm trying to execute an iLogic script in Automation API. The model is not tiny, so I'm uploading it as a single 24MB zip file. This is what my Activity looks like:
{
"commandLine": [
"$(engine.path)\\InventorCoreConsole.exe /i \"$(args[inputFile].path)\" /s \"$(args[iLogicVb].path)\""
],
"parameters": {
"iLogicVb": {
"verb": "get",
"localName": "input.iLogicVb"
},
"outputFile": {
"verb": "put",
"localName": "output.pdf"
},
"inputFile": {
"verb": "get",
"zip": true
}
},
"id": "<myidhere>",
"engine": "Autodesk.Inventor+2021",
"appbundles": [],
"description": "Running iLogic Rule"
}
And this is what my Workitem looks like:
{
"activityId": "<myidhere>",
"arguments": {
"outputFile": {
"verb": "put",
"localName": "output.pdf",
"url": "https://developer.api.autodesk.com/oss/v2/buckets/...",
"headers": {
"Content-type": "application/octet-stream",
"Authorization": "..."
}
},
"inputFile": {
"verb": "get",
"pathInZip": "<assembly name>.iam",
"url": "https://developer.api.autodesk.com/oss/v2/buckets/...",
"headers": {
"Content-type": "application/octet-stream",
"Authorization": "..."
}
},
"iLogicVb": {
"url": "https://developer.api.autodesk.com/oss/v2/buckets/...",
"verb": "get",
"localName": "input.iLogicVb",
"headers": {
"Content-type": "application/octet-stream",
"Authorization": "..."
}
}
}
}
And the iLogic code is pretty straight-forward:
Trace.WriteLine ("Starting rules")
ObjectWidth = 4 ft
ObjectHeight = 7 ft
Trace.WriteLine ("Saving PDF")
oDoc.SaveAs("output.pdf", true)
Trace.WriteLine ("Done")
According to the execution report, the zip file gets downloaded and unzipped successfully, but then the problem happens:

And this The 'path2' is not defined is absolutely cryptic ungooglable error. What could cause it? Maybe there's a flag that could increase the output verbosity to see more?

Answer 1

"inputFile" in Activity needs "localName" property. Settings it to actual name of my zip file solved this error. Although this doesn't make the message less cryptic.

Answer 2

#thesame, thanks for reporting. I think this is one bug we will fix.
