Run Python Script No Output

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 3
Python scripts that run fine in Visual Studio don't run in Power Automate, and the action doesn't display like it is supposed to. The top action is a python script that functions and the bottom action is one that doesn't function. Any script more than a couple lines seems to have this compiling issue and the action doesn't do anything. Here is the code from the bottom action:
 

import datetime as dt
from datetime import date
import calendar

current_date = dt.datetime.now()

today = date.today()

month_number = today.month

month = calendar.month_name[month_number]

mon = month[:3]

yyyy = current_date.year

filepath = '\\' + str(yyyy) + '\\' + month + '\\' + str(7)+  '. ' + mon + " " + str(yyyy) + " " + "name"

print (filepath)
 
This issue will also appear for instance if I leave the first couple lines of the script empty and write my code starting in a later line. So my guess is that it is an issue with power automate reading/compiling the code. Any ideas?

    Scripts usually don't fail the flow ever even if an error happens inside them. That's why you need to enable ScriptError variable in them.

    Enable "ScriptError" under "Variables produced" in the python action and check what output that gives when you run the flow.


    Then output might be like this:


    That would tell you that error happened in line 3 since there is no calendar module installed
