Cannot change option Turn on printer with - unknown plug #232

Open FrancYescO opened 3 years ago

FrancYescO commented 3 years ago

I was using both PSU Control and Tuya Smarplug plugin on my octoprint instance, the tuya plugin was unstable so i totally removed the plugin from octoprint, i never figure out how to set the plugin to turn on via PSU Control as both options in the selectbox are disabled and i have no possibility to change, it automatically select the last option (that actually i assume is the unistalled tuya smartplug plugin)

plugin v3.5.18 cura 4.9 octoprint 1.6.0

i've solved by going to (MacOS)/Users/user/Library/Application\ Support/cura/4.9/machine_instances/myprinter.cfg and removing the line octoprint_power_plug = tuyasmartplug/3D Printer/192.168.1.103 after the restart finally the Unknown plug option disappeared and i'm able to select PSU Control

but i think this should be considered a bug.

I had this problem too. When you change the OctoPrint's IP address in Cura, it should update the octoprint_power_plug line as well. It only changes the OctoPrint address, but octoprint_power_plug is left with the old IP address, causing this bug.

Sofar I've only seen this reported by Mac OS users. I'll get this fixed in the next release.

This looks like a MacOS specific issue in Qt: https://forum.qt.io/topic/123101/quick-controls-1-combobox-items-unselectable-on-macos

Unfortunately the fix (changing the controls to QtQuick 2) means that the dropdown will look ugly and be unreadable on current Mac OS systems (possibly limited to M1, but I am not sure of that).

Stuck between a rock and a hard place... I'll keep looking for solutions.

Can you check if this is still an issue with Cura 5? This post has a prerelease of the OctoPrint Connection plugin: https://community.ultimaker.com/topic/40313-fieldofview-plugins-for-cura-50/
