CalculixccxTools Task Panel Stays Active After Error

UR_ · Post by **UR_** » Sun Sep 22, 2019 11:45 am

Workflow to reproduce misbehavior:

- load cantilever3D example from FreeCAD's start page
- change Preferences->FEM->Calculix->ccx binary path to something not available (e.g. a typo in filename)
- open CalculixccxTools Task Panel
- error message appears

Something strange is that your diffs are done in opposite order.

Also I don't advise to add a "\n" at the end of the error string as this will prevent the error message to be displayed in the status bar (as it will be immediately cleared by the carriage return). Better add it in the beginning of the string.

Finally, I didn't try your patches, but maybe it would be good to also reject Edit in case of error to prevent another exception if user still uses the UI buttons.

Excuse me, my bad

OMG, there are 141 occurrences, regarding only FEM WB

Just another observation beside:

if above mentioned QMessageBox is fired up, often another window (in my case an accidentally in background shown editor) is brought to foreground instead of desired QMessageBox

changing code from:

Code: Select all

QtGui.QMessageBox.critical( None, error_title, error_message)

to:

Code: Select all

import FreeCADGui
QtGui.QMessageBox.critical( FreeCADGui.getMainWindow(), error_title, error_message)

prevents from this.

Is there a reason why parent is set to None

This is ridiculous. A carriage return should come at the end of a line, not at the beginning. If the status bar doesn't handle that appropriately, then that's a problem of the status bar.

Also, who cares about the status bar? The Console messages are supposed to be displayed in the Report view, the terminal, or the log file, so this is a non-issue.

You're right. Moreover this seems to work properly now. I had some problem with that in the past, but it no more exists. Nevermind.

This is more ridiculous a sentence than everything you may have called ridiculous.

Please stopping thinking you're owning the whole truth ever.

keep calm, I am just overwhlemed with work at work and on FreeCAD and ahh very important there is anotherone ... There is a little princess and she has her 4th birthday this weekend ... yeah and there will be join us another 9 little princesses and the parants too.

It will be fixed ...

BTW: this should not be done in the task panel but in the method which searches for the solver ... I need to have a look ...
