Script to Open PFD Stopped Working - No Error

Runtime
1

This script stopped working and I can’t figure out why. Maybe this is an issue outside of pyRevit. Could be something that changed on our server or in bluebeam, I’m not sure.

dprint(trainingList)

trainingChoice = forms.SelectFromList.show(trainingList, button_name='Select Topic', multselect=False)
dprint(trainingChoice)

if trainingChoice:
    subprocess.Popen([trainingDic[trainingChoice]], shell=True)

The main question you will have to answer is at what part does the script stop working. Is “trainingList” compiled correctly? Does the form still open? Is the file path still correct for the search? Hope some of that helps.

Sorry, should have posted when I figured it out. The pdf open was being blocked by Threatlocker…
