Python tool and macro with python tool : error 404 Not found

Question

Hi,
I'm using Alteryx 2019.2.
I have an issue with the python tool displaying a "404 Not Found" error instead of the notebook.
Step to reproduce :
1- create a macro using the python tool component and save it. (up to here no problem)

2- create a new workflow and add a python tool component. write some code for it. (still no problem here)

3- add an instance of the macro you created to the workflow. Here you can see the start of the problem. If you go to the python tool it displays the notebook but the code disappeared for the default code !

4- save your workflow and open it again. The notebook of the python tool doesn't even display any more. error 404.

Has anybody a way to avoid that bug ?
Thanks,
Franck

The way I resolved this: make sure that "Disable Auto Configure" is unchecked in your User Settings.

No, the only ugly workaround I've found is to encapsulate every python script in its own macro, leaving me with lots of unnecessary macros. And even then macros don't seem to work properly with Alteryx gallery. If I load a workflow from the gallery and wait too long, regularly the Alteryx is not able to find the macro any more since it only stores it in a temporary file. That forces me to regularly recreate the macro when I work on the workflow (which is still better than loosing all my code with this 404 error).
