CutList does not run #16

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. I changed the Filters for Parts and Panels to try to leverage my component 
names
2. I saved the Filters
3. When I ran the plugin it would only create a panel list
4. I then cleared the list of filter terms for parts and ran it again
5. The plugin would not product anything
6. I uninstalled the plugin to try to get back to the default filters
7. I Reinstalled the application and tried to use it, however the filters I 
save are still showing up.
8. It now does not generate anything

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expected to see the cut list information/reports, Instead I get nothing
I'm also trying to locate the filter file, but I am unable to find it anywhere. 
 What should I search for in Finder?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Running on a Mac with Mavericks, Latest version of Cutlist on the Trimble 
Sketchup Plugins library site.

Please provide any additional information below.

Hi,

The only way I could reproduce your results (getting nothing in the display) is 
if I unchecked all of the Include boxes (3rd option down on the main option 
menu).

There is a bit of oddity with saving the "Part words" and "Sheet Material 
Words". If you remove all of the words and save your settings and close the 
CutList window, then the next time you open CutList, it will restore the 
default settings, so removing all words is actually prevented - or rather, when 
it detects that there is nothing in those fields, it presets them with the 
defaults. That's not exactly what you are seeing, however.

The settings are saved in a cookie associated with the html file that displays 
the option box. So, it's saved where all other cookies are saved! I don't 
exactly know where that is on a Mac (or windows for that matter!). Well, it's 
the sort of info you can easily find again, so I don't remember!

Since you are running on a Mac, the cookies are stored under the Safari 
browser's cookie location.
Here's info on how to find and read safari cookies on a Mac
http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/article/see-full-cookie-details-in-safari-6
It looks like Safari now stores cookies in binary format, not text like on 
Windows, so it will be impossible to read but if you do find it, you can delete 
it and the CutList plugin will repopulate the options with defaults.

If you are sure you have all the boxes checked correctly and you are getting no 
output (please tell me if you are getting no windows popup at all or you are 
getting windows popup but there are no components listed), then if you open the 
Ruby console, (Window->Ruby console) you can cut and paste the output (if any) 
after the plugin is opened and you press 'run'. That would help me determine 
where it stops working.

The actual cookie file name is obscure. Who knows how these are generated.

On my system the cookie file name is called : G08Y2MQQ.txt
I usually find it by looking in the Windows cookie directory and finding it by 
time/date corresponding to when I saved the settings in CutList.

Since on a Mac these files are in binary, there is no real way of searching on 
the content.

Regardless here are the contents of the first few lines of my cookie:
