We have a few Python scripts that work well if run as a script but fail if compiled with the RhinoScriptCompiler. FWIW, my script compiler is from Jan 2014. Is there a newer one that I somehow missed? I can’t post the scripts publicly, but if anyone at McNeel is interested in testing this I can pro…

@DavidRutten @stevebaer , any help here would be appreciated.

Hi @stevebaer @DavidRutten @dale I have an example of a small script that runs as a script but fails when compiled. I believe the issue has to do with text objects. I will attach the script and a small Rhino file to test with. All that is happening here is that a file is being opened that has a pi…

Hi Dan, Thanks, I’ve logged the issue. http://mcneel.myjetbrains.com/youtrack/issue/RH-29456

Hi @dale @stevebaer @DavidRutten I found another case there AddLayer is working in the script but fails when compiled. I realize this is on the issue log, but I thought it can’t hurt to mention this too. I sure hope we see a resolution to this without having to wait for V6!! Thanks, Dan

This was a strange one. I was able to get it to work by “importing” a file as opposed to “opening” one. If I opened a file, all methods that started with “Add…” failed, not just AddLayer. By importing the file into a new session that problem went away. Keep in mind that opening the file worked fine…

Not sure if anyone cares, but I found another case where opening a file in a Python script works as a script but fails when compiled. Dan

I can conclusively say that using Rhino.Command("_Open"…) is causing the compiled scripts to fail. Since my last post I’ve run across it 2 more times. Fortunately I’ve been able to substitute Import for Open and worked around this. Hopefully this information is helpful. Whether the compiler gets fi…

[image] DanBayn: I can conclusively say that using Rhino.Command(“_Open”…) is causing the compiled scripts to fail Thanks Dan for such a detailed research around this problem. Somebody here at McNeel will definitely be interested in knowing this information. How is the “_Open” command string …

Hi Guilio, Here is a snippet that will fail once compiled: filter = "Rhino 3D Models (*.3dm)|*.3dm;|All Files (*.*)|*.*;||" folder = "C:\\Cad\\" strFilename = rs.OpenFileName("Select a file to view", filter, folder) rs.DocumentModified(False) rs.Command("_-Open " + chr(34) + strFilename + chr(34) …

Hi Giulio, You might want to take a look at this too: rs.DocumentModified(False) rs.Command("_-New _None ", False) It also behaves differently between a script and a compiled version. In the script, the new file will open without prompting the user to save. In the compiled version it still prompt…
