Plugin working but icons not changing

[mike548141]

Hi,

I've followed the instructions, the plugin is installed and showing in Archi preferences. The icon property is set on the Node object and the value is set to the file name. But the icon does not change to the image file... help?

Archi 4.0.3 build 201709061211 Archi installation details.txt OS: Mac OSX 10.13.1 (high sierra) Specialization-plugin: 0.2 (file /Applications/Archi.app/plugins/org.archicontribs.specialization_v0.2.jar)

The image file "/Applications/Archi.app/plugins/com.archimatetool.editor_4.0.3.201709061211/img/microsoft/dag.png"

You need to create a log on the logger tab file to understand what happens.

[mike548141]

@herve91 I've found no errors in the log using trace, debug or info log levels, but I'm happy to post a log file. Could you describe the log level you want and the steps you want me to take e.g. create object, set property value etc.. Thanks

[herve91]

I need the trace level. Basically, the log file should contain lines like "found icon" or "missing icon".

The procedure you may follow if to right click somewhere in your view and select the "refresh view" option. This will force all the icons to be refreshed and therefore, a line should be printed in the log file for each element that has got an "icon" property.

Hi trace below, but no references to icons sorry

[herve91]

that is strange. The plugin does not try to change the icon.

Could you please check if your property is correctly spelled (I mean check if there is no space before or after the "icon" word) ?

[mike548141]

@herve91 Just double checked but its definitely correct. I have created new models, new objects within existing models etc and all the same outcome. The property name is set to "icon" and its value is "microsoft/dag.png" (without the quotes, those are copy and pastes of the whole value). You can see the file paths in my original post which match the image file

Its a fresh install of Archi and the only other plugin installed is the "Model Repository Collaboration Plugin" - https://www.archimatetool.com/plugins

[herve91]

I do not understand.

1. the plugin is started (we know it because the preference page is present) 2 . the plugin does not crash (we know it because the log file would have an exception if it was the case)
2. the plugin does not try to chang ethe icon despite the fact that you set the "icon" property

I see that you are running Archi on a Mac. Unfortunately, I do not hage got a Mac so cannot check if this is related to this.

The only thing I can do is to add more traces in the log file. I'll release a new version with these new traces in the coming days.

[herve91]

In fact, I just release the version 0.3 that includes more detailed debug and trace messages. Could you please update your plugin (you may use the "check for updates" icon on the preference page) and rerun your tests ?

thanks and regards Hervé

[mike548141]

@herve91 Thanks for the update, unfortunately still the same outcome in the UI (logo not changing) and the logs Also I should mention that the auto-update successfully downloaded the new version of the plugin but failed to delete the old JAR file so when Archi restarted it complained that it was still using the old version

That's strange ...

Could you please try the following very simple model (copy the xml to a file called test.archimate and open it in Archi):

@herve91 No luck unfortunately, followed the process above and I got this

SpecializationPlugin.log

[herve91]

Could you please send me the log file (in trace mode) ?

[mike548141]

@herve91 Hi its in the post above an uploaded file https://github.com/archi-contribs/specialization-plugin/files/1545441/SpecializationPlugin.log

[herve91]

Sorry, I did not see the link in your previous post ...

What I do not understand is why you do not have any error message. The plugin is initialized but nothing happens, even in the log file.

I'll do some more testing, may be add some more trace messages ... I'll let you know ASAP.

[herve91]

I just released the version 1.0 of my plugin.

Please do not hesitate to open a new issue if this does not work as expected.

[mike548141]

@herve91 Hi the issue is still happening (using v1.0) but there is more in the log now. I can't find the "refresh view" option when I right click anymore. I tested using the same XML archimate file you posted above, and I configured the image folder etc as required by the v1.0 plugin

Log file: SpecializationPlugin.log

[rich-biker]

I'm seeing a similar experience as Mike on my Mac. I can't reference the default images in the Archi Application itself, but I can define my own outside (if I make a copy of app-16.png image to my local folder):
