Script Works in Console but not in QGIS Script Editor

Question

I've recently started working with Python in QGIS and I've been trying to make a script that dissolves a polygon layer and saves the output in the same folder as the input, something I believe isn't possible to do with QGIS Graphical Modeller.

The code I've written is as follows:

processing.run("native:dissolve", {'INPUT':iface.activeLayer(),'FIELD':[],'OUTPUT':iface.activeLayer().dataProvider().dataSourceUri().split('2D', 2)[0] +"2D Simulation Elements dissolved.shp"})
iface.addVectorLayer((iface.activeLayer().dataProvider().dataSourceUri().split('2D', 2)[0] +"2D Simulation Elements dissolved.shp"),"","ogr")

It works fine in the console, however when I put it in the Script Toolbox it fails with the following error:

The code is confusing me cause, I obviously don't have 224 lines of code for it have an error there... I've looked online and followed the suggestion to add the following on top of my code:

QgsApplication.initQgis()
app = QgsApplication([], True)

But it didn't make my script work as well.

Answer 1

when trying to run a script outside of the python console you must define iface and processing by adding

from qgis.utils import iface
from qgis.core import  (QgsProcessing)

import processing

Should run now outside the python console from the processing toolbox
