Re: estlcam post processor broken

I take it nobody actually uses the estlcam post processor and there's no maintainer for it.

If both are true we should probably remove it again. Given chrisb's report we should probably do that rather sooner than later.

Re: post processor - quo vadis ?

correction - it seems the high level API is called def export(objectlist, filename, argstring): and it is up to the post processor to deal with `filename` accordingly. Shame on me, I thought I had cleaned that up back when. Nevertheless, export does also return the output string for the reasons ment...

Re: post processor - quo vadis ?

As the postprocessors are currently designed, they generate a file. The current post processors have an API function called def parse(pathobj): which at the end returns the generated output. We did this for several reasons, one of them was unit test ability and the other for CNC machine integration.

Re: estlcam post processor broken

Following the Code Refactor the relocation and renaming of PostUtils to Path.Post.Utils the post processors need to be edited to suit the new layout. I did that refactoring a year ago in fall 2022 and this post processor was added in January 2023. Are you saying this got merged and was broken from ...

addon manager unit tests leave artifact

Not sure if this is the correct forum for AddonManager issues.

After running the unit test the (empty) file "AM_INSTALLATION_DIGEST.txt" is left in my working directory. It should be cleaned up after the unit test(s).

Re: post processor - quo vadis ?

hm - I'm wondering if this is a productive approach. Are ppl actually using the `_refactored` post processors? If not how are you establishing any confidence that the refactored post processor have the quality and feature set to replace the current ones? Also, I file named `gcode.tmp` shows up in my...

post processor - quo vadis ?

Configuring FC for the first time on a new development machine I got quite confused. Not having been active in the forum/community for a few years I'm missing the context - which - as a regular user is probably the standard to go by. The issue I'm having is that there are seemingly 2 version of post...

estlcam post processor broken

I installed a new machine and had the pleasure of configuring FC for the first time from scratch. When doing so this error shows up each time the mouse hovers over `estlcam`: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/markus/projects/FreeCAD/mlampert/build/Mod/Path/Path/Main/Gui/Preferences...
