pyRevit doesn't recognize installed Revit

giused8 · July 5, 2024, 9:49am

pyRevit does not recognize the installed Revit versions. From the CLI, running pyrevit env, the section ==> Installed Revits appears to be empty.

Does anyone know how to make sure that pyRevit recognizes all the installed Revit versions?

for context:
I’m installing pyRevit using the latest version of the CLI and I already tried to

run pyrevit doctor > 1) purge-installs
uninstall pyRevit CLI and install again
uninstall pyRevit CLI and install the whole pyRevit package

Thanks in advance

When you say “does not recognize the installed Revit version” what do you mean?
I had some problems a while back were it would open the incorrect version of Revit.

I don’t know the process 100%, but I know it uses the pyrevit-hosts.json file to identify version.
The update of this file and the version identified is a manual process. I just updated it 2 days ago with some missing version, so the wip installer should contain most if not all revit version listed.
You could grab the pyrevit-hosts.json file and replace it on your install to see if it helps.

if not, please rune pyrevit env --debug and report an issue on the repo
