Troubleshooting

cadscript doctor cannot connect

  • Confirm the unpacked extension is enabled.
  • Open a signed-in cad.onshape.com document tab.
  • Re-run cadscript setup chrome after changing package versions.
  • Click Reload on the extension card in chrome://extensions.
  • Restart Chrome if it still does not reconnect to the native host.
  • Check that another process is not using localhost port 27183.

Plan says the Part Studio is not empty

Use a dedicated empty Part Studio. --adopt is only for a studio whose every feature is already labeled as owned by the same CadScript model.

Apply says the plan is stale

Something changed the workspace after planning. Run cadscript plan again and use the new exact plan ID.

PM2 daemon is not healthy

  • Run cadscript daemon status --json and cadscript daemon logs --lines 100.
  • Confirm port 27184 is free and the configured endpoint is loopback-only.
  • Re-run cadscript daemon install --codex after a CadScript upgrade.
  • Run cadscript daemon uninstall --codex to return to the plugin's default stdio server.

Sketch has warnings

Warnings are failures. Inspect the local preview, duplicate IDs, zero-length lines, disconnected regions, overconstraints, and imported SVG geometry.

Render is blank

Observe the feature tree first. Confirm there is at least one solid body, the requested view is valid, and all features regenerate cleanly.
