[Solved] Adding new toolbits not possible

[chrisb]

Brad, could you please have a look at this? At least one of us both non native speakers is mistaken. I want neither move it back and spoil your topic, nor do I want to dictate herbk, where he has to post. So both of you please receive my apologies in advance.

ping

Hi chris,
there is no need to put it back i think, because Brad and others read it. The work at a fix is in progress, so everything is fine

[chrisb]

Thanks! (merging topics which are listed on different pages in the overview is a pain).

[herbk]

just a ping for me...

We have fixed and merged several things leading up to the 0.19 release.

Are you saying that there is still an outstanding bug? If so, please back up your .FreeCAD directory, remove it and retry with a fresh install. There were several values left in the parameter system that might have caused trouble.

Hi sliptonic,

Are you saying that there is still an outstanding bug?

like say'd above: it was only a ping for me (to go back testing the toolbits)..

I have had a few cumbersome pathes at 3D Surface yesterday. But my FC setting was still "lagacy tools" and i want to check if it is the same with Toolbits before posting it.

If so, please back up your .FreeCAD directory, remove it and retry with a fresh install.

Thats what i try to avoid, because my personal settings are lost to with it...

Are you saying that there is still an outstanding bug?

The start with an new user.cfg gives the first error after creating the folder Tool and its subfolders.

Code: Select all

14:34:55  Error loading tool: 45degree_chamfer.fctb : Expecting property name enclosed in double quotes: line 12 column 3 (char 298)

It's not a big one, removing the , at the end of line 11 solves the problem.


Other things seams to work like expected..
Only the prob i noticed at 3D Surface OP also exists using ToolBits, - but thats for an own thread...

I see this error too with a week old FreeCAD on macOS.

There are JSON errors for 45degree_chamfer.fctb in both the 0.19 and the current master branches.

The problem in the master branch can be fixed by PR #4953 https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/pull/4953/files (Path: fix invalid JSON in 45degree_chamfer.fctb tool bit).
Edit: this is now merged to master.

While looking for similar reports, I also noticed a request to fix a similar issue in the 0.19 branch.

- https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/comm ... c632016da3

The code in the current 0.19 branch is clearly not valid JSON.

(I also looked for similar errors in the surrounding directories but didn't find any.)
