Dynamo forgets it installed packages? (What am I doing wrong)

Hello all,

I’ve got this issue with dynamo that if I install a package, in this instance its clockwork, the script seems to work just fine. But once I restart Dynamo it can’t find the just installed package. What is going on? And how do I fix this?

I’m currently working in Revit 2023.1 and Dynamo 2.16.2.9354

Hi @h.bakkerPE58B sounds like some conflict with other package or addin…can you see the package in the packagefolder path…btw do you have bakery installed ?

Yes the package is right there, that’s what makes it extra weird.
I don’t have bakery installed.

I’ve got the following installed.
Clockwork
Data_shapes
DynamoIronPython2.7
GenerativeDesign
GenerativeDesign.Extension
GenerativeDesign.Revit
Genius Loci
Orchid

Moved the packages from
C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\RVT 2023\Dynamo\2.16\packages
to
C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\Dynamo\Dynamo Revit\2.16\packages
And now it works :man_shrugging:

The “ProgramData/Autodesk” path is reserved for the packages which Autodesk provides to anyone who launches Dynamo, as such there are more restrictions on what can be loaded and you are likely running afoul of those. When installing packages the “appdata/roaming” path is best as it doesn’t have those same concerns.
