uninitialized constant OpenStudio::PathWatcher

[DavidGoldwasser]

The test below runs successfully in 2.9, but not in 3.0. In both cases I'm running the script by calling openstudio PathWatcher_Test.rb and using the ruby that comes with the CLI.

https://github.com/NREL/OpenStudio/blob/develop3/ruby/test/PathWatcher_Test.rb#L34

Here is the log from OpenStudio-3.0.0-rc1

Error: uninitialized constant OpenStudio::PathWatcher in eval:300:in `const_missing'

Here is the successful run from 2.9

I didn't identify this through the test, but rather through trying to setup the stand alone SketchUp plugin for 3.0.0-rc1. For reference I can load OpenStudio in SketchUp's ruby, and access and use model methods, so I feel confident should be able to get the plugin working.

Here is console log from SketchUp. I manually made some model objects after making a new model to confirm openstudio loaded correctly, then tried to use PathWatcher

@DavidGoldwasser is that with Openstudio installer or with OpenStudioApplication installer?

[DavidGoldwasser]

@jmarrec I was able to reproduce the error with the CLI in both installers.

[jmarrec]

I see the problem. model_editor was moved to the OpenStudioApplication project, and it's probably not linking correctly to the openstudio.so (generated from this OpenStudio project) so it's not available...

[jmarrec]

Seems like @macumber has been working on something similar https://github.com/NREL/OpenStudioApplication/pull/50

[macumber]

Those path watcher tests should be moved out of the open studio repository, they depend on a Qt functionality so are only available in the os app repo. You would have to require openstudio_modeleditor.rb to get them to work.

[DavidGoldwasser]

@macumber that is good to know. So someone can't just install SketchUp plugin and point it to core OpenStudio, then need to have the OpenStudio application installed. In some ways the Plugin then is kind of a sub-application to the OpenStudio Application.
