Plugin Loader

[microelly2]

I noticed this today:

Code: Select all

During initialization the error local variable 'fn2' referenced before assignment occurred in .FreeCAD/Mod/freecad-pluginloader-master/InitGui.py

hello triplus I have no idea where this error comes from

can you please test this for me

import pluginloader

pluginloader.fn
--> should output something like '/usr/lib/freecad//Mod/plugins/pluginloaderconfig.yaml'

pluginloader.PluginLoader()
--> should raise up a detailed traceback.

thanks.

Actually after you mentioned configuration file i remembered a few days back i deleted FreeCAD config files and that deleted Parameter value i changed earlier to default location "/usr/lib/freecad//Mod/plugins/pluginloaderconfig.yaml'.

Therefore Plugin Loader didn't find it as it is located in my local .FreeCAD/Mod/plugins folder. Changing that parameter back to the location in my home folder removes that message an it works again. I know i probably should do a system wide install for now but i like to put everything in my local user folder as much as possible.

P.S. Hope i didn't take to much of your time dealing with this report.

The usr/lib/freecad//Mod/plugins/ isn't writeable on a standard ubuntu install.

Code: Select all

Traceback (most recent call last):

If I manually create the folder and run the script i get:

The usr/lib/freecad//Mod/plugins/ isn't writeable on a standard ubuntu install.

pluginloader can used in different scenarios

single user machine - you are the lord of the computer : install as root
multi user machine + common installation for all users (example students): install under root acces to usr/lib/freecad/Mod/
multi user machine + common and individual installations for different users: change the config file to allow install for special packages into ~/.FreeCAD by changing the path AppHomePath/Mod/ to UserAppData/Mod/

Will the plugin loader also work on Mac OSX??
And how do i get it? I can't find any information about the 3th party plugins how to install and where to get.

I had some trouble installing the yaml parser to read the configuration files for Mac OSX. Because I don't have a Mac its not so easy to debug this problem. My idea now is to write a simplified parser for my cases in pure python, this will work platform independent.
I think next month.

I have it to work but it doesn't work smooth… There was as far as i can remember something with that yaml is search for a file and/or folder that doesn't exist…
ou have to create them by yourself at least that works a bit

Is it possible to add a macro tab in the plugin loader for each git macro repository, to list installed macros?
Most of the macros doesn't have an icon, it would be conveninient enough to just list them.
Thank you!

How do I make a custom toolbar for all workbenches without define the same content repetively?
I tried to define the tool bar in the user.cfg file, but it doesn't always work.

I have started work on this
There is a scanner for all macros and then there will be a generated menu system
see viewtopic.php?f=21&t=10905

There are some discussion about naming conventions. I did not work on this last weeks
but I will restart ...
