Python error in line 180, but line 180 is an empty line?

Hello all,

I have no idea what’s going on in my workflow…
It is a large script to automatically print and rename all sheets in a selected workset.

This works great in Revit 2018 but i recently moved it to 2020, after some adjusting i got it to print correctly but it wont rename the files.

The script node output gives me an traceback error to line 180 in the code but there is nothing in line 180…
But when i open the "print en hernoem"node (script was originally made by @Konrad_K_Sobon , edited by me and a friend to get it to rename automatically.)

error in line 180
error in line 1801131×896 231 KB

As you can see in the image below, line 180 is an empty line… So how exactly can i get an error in this line as shown above?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, I need to print at least 80 PDF files tomorrow and i need to get it to work.
To clarify, it does print correctly but it doesnt rename the files because there is something wrong with the script or name input i believe…
For anyone who wants to see the entire python script see below:
multiple edits to get the script to show up so its readable…

Assign your output to the OUT variable

Yeah i cant get the python script to show up how i like… for some reason the text is formatted like that.
Sorry, i hope its readable

Here is the script as a text file to ease your eyes…

Check that your IN[8] is receiving a single string, and not a list.

You can try to set an output as type(filePath), or you could see if you can access an item at an index.

Those are my best guesses, since the only “+” operators seem to be around your filepath operations.

Hello @MVE1112 - That error message was unfortunately bugged and has now been fixed in Dynamo 2.8 :slight_smile: Please look to the error on the line above, 179.

Check out your filePath or newName lists as one of these will be a list, rather than an object!
