NOTE: This applies to Alteryx Python-based tools such as Google Drive, Outlook 365, Tableau, SharePoint, etc that use Python SDK version 2.0 and above. 
 
Cause

The exception error is coming from the internal code which throws an error on the plugin when there are errors on the workflow canvas. A defect (TVULC-1063) has been logged to address this behaviour.

Resolution
