I can't apply the modifier programmatically via Python, but clicking the GUI button works.
Some answers on this site say bpy.ops commands usually demand the current active object be proper.
>>> bpy.context.scene.objects.active
bpy.data.objects['Icosphere']
tells me my active object is proper.
But still, I get
>>> bpy.ops.object.modifier_apply(apply_as='DATA')
{'CANCELLED'}
Again, clicking the GUI button works without problems. How may I do it via script?
bpy.ops.object.modifier_apply(modifier='Mirror')
This command requires you to give it a modifier name.
bpy.ops.object.apply_all_modifiers()
This will apply all modifiers. Note, this is a operator from addon 'Modifier Tools'. You have to have this addon enabled to be able to use that command.
