ProjectInfo class loses reference to the currently opened document after transaction is closed

[baaswietse]

Describe the bug ProjectInfo class loses reference to the currently opened document after a transaction is closed. This bug was discovered after running the functions script.data_exitst(“example”), script.store_data(“example”, dataClass) or script.load_data(“example”) after a transaction.

To Reproduce Running this snippet reproduces the error

from pyrevit import revit

with revit.Transaction("test"):
    pass
print script.data_exists("example")

Error:

[jmcouffin]

@baaswietse Tried it on my side with latest installers and engine 2711

from pyrevit import revit, script, HOST_APP
script.store_data("example", "Hello World!", this_project=True)
with revit.Transaction("test"):
    pass
print(script.data_exists("example"))
print(script.load_data("example"))
print(HOST_APP.doc.PathName)

It works just fine

[github-actions[bot]]

This issue is stale because it has been open for 60 days with no activity.

[sanzoghenzo]

Sorry for my silence @jmcouffin , I forgot you asked for my help on this 😅

I also couldn't reproduce on my Windows 10 installation, revit 2022 (I need to ask my IT to install newer version!), both local and cloud models.

Could it be a Windows 11 related problem?

@baaswietse does the issue still occur on the latest pyRevit version? And is that a problem with a specific revit version (I see that you have installed 4 versions, but never mentioned which one you are using and/or if some version beahve differently)?

[jmcouffin]

I tend to think it was a false positive. File not saved or something. No reply from @baaswietse ...

[baaswietse]

I installed the latest PyRevit and this issue still persists. The Revit version does not matter, as I tried it with all of them. I think this might be related to engine 277.

Could you please test if you have this issue using engine 277? I have some issues switching to 2711.

[jmcouffin]

@baaswietse Changing the Iron Python engine from 277 to 2711 should not bring you more errors. There are no fundamental changes between the two, or none that I know of. I just tried it with 277, works like a charm.

[baaswietse]

Thank you for trying. I switched to 2711 and ran your script (RVT2024).

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
__title__ = "Test"
__doc__ = "Test"

from pyrevit import revit, script, HOST_APP
script.store_data("example", "Hello World!", this_project=True)
with revit.Transaction("test"):
    pass
print(script.data_exists("example"))
print(script.load_data("example"))
print(HOST_APP.doc.PathName)

But still this error pops up

[jmcouffin]

Can you provide a screenshot of the output window and Revit? @baaswietse what kind of file is it? local, on server, BIM360, not saved file?

[baaswietse]

Here you go. I tried on a local saved model and cloud model (ACC). Same result.

[jmcouffin]

ok, I will check it more in depth in the coming days.
