Looks correct. Maybe there is some other registering instance? Maybe wernerh could help us in the forum?

ahh, the console report errors in the console. So this works. But the file in the fem-wb is sending the messages to the reportview.

Docs of OutputStdout

* Python class for redirection of stdout to FreeCAD's output
 * console window. This allows to report all Python output to
 * the output window which simplifies debugging scripts.

so the isatty function must implemented for these classes too.

joha2 commented 7 years ago

Sorry, I don't get it. For which classes you also have to implement the isatty() method?

looooo commented 7 years ago

sorry for my unclear message. here: src/Gui/PythonConsolePy L94 and L116

joha2 commented 7 years ago

Did it work? :-)

looooo commented 7 years ago

My workflow with conda is a bit time intensive. At the moment there is no way for me to build only changed files for freecad. So I have to compile the full source all the time something changed in c++. As I forgot some things (like adding files to CMakeList.txt) I had to build several times. This is a bit frustrating. So I had no chance to try the fix yet, but I am pretty sure the additional isatty function will solve the issue. If I have time I will try to understand your docker workflow. Maybe this is the better approach to develop stuff for FreeCAD.

joha2 commented 7 years ago

Yeah sounds frustrating! The docker workflow is also rather complicated I think. This is because you only have this sandbox and you have to mess around with access permission a lot. At the moment the description is more or less "hingerotzt", so maybe it is not that useful. But If you have problems from this description, we could still improve it. Now I have the git problem again: So maybe I will as a first step just clone your source and try to compile it. :-)

instead of cloning:

git fetch looooo
git checkout looooo/genericSolver
git checkout -b cloneOfGenericSolver

Btw. There is another error with the added files. https://github.com/looooo/FreeCAD/blob/genericSolver/src/Mod/Fem/CMakeLists.txt#L106#L109 these lines should be removed.

looooo / FreeCAD

add generic solver #1
