removing MACOS version in plugin tarball

bam241 commented 3 years ago

I just tried our most recent macOS tarball (cubit 2021.5), build with MacOS 10.15, on my desktop (MacOS 11.4). it worked just fine.

I think we can assume that those tarball are compatible with virtual all version of MacOS..

therefore I removed the mention of the MacOS used to build it in order to avoid confusing our users.

this should replace #120

shimwell commented 3 years ago

Nice, I believe @AnderGray has also been using the Mac plugin named 10.15 on Mac OS version 11.

AnderGray commented 3 years ago

Yes, the same MacOS 10.15 build worked on my MacOS 11.5. Some problems with the cubit python interface, but not sure if it's plugin's problem. I built it myself and had the same issues.

I could do everything except export dagmc ...

gonuke commented 3 years ago

That's the most important part! What was the failure mode with export dagmc?

bam241 commented 3 years ago

sadly we didn't test the cubit python interface.

what is the error you are experiencing ?

AnderGray commented 3 years ago

Everything works via the gui and journal commands without the gui.

From python when I import and initiate cubit, it correctly finds the plugin:

cubit_path="/Applications/Coreform-Cubit-2021.5.app/Contents/bin/"
import sys
sys.path.append(cubit_path)
import cubit
cubit.init([])

out:

I can also use the plugin's help, although the output is printed twice:

cubit.cmd('help dagmc')

out:

However when I try to export dagmc, I'm told it's not a valid export:

[2021-08-23 09:47:03.379] [error] Could not export the data to a file.

ERROR: <stdin>, line 50. Could not export the data to a file.

ERROR: <stdin>, line 50. dagmc is not a valid type of file to be exported.
Enter 'help export' for the allowable types of file.
Out[3]: ' "dagmc.h5m'

Note I'm using python 3.9, since the 2021.5 Cubit on MacOS is only shipped with python 3.9.

shimwell commented 3 years ago

I have a minimalistic python script for checking the export of h5m files using the cubit python API if this is any help.

gonuke commented 3 years ago

In a recent dialog with another user, we discovered that it is necessary to enclose the file name in quotes for a new file. Could this be the problem?

gonuke commented 3 years ago

Also, you say that everything works with the journal commands, but that export dagmc doesn't work.

Does export dagmc work with journal commands, but not python? Or does it fail in both cases?

AnderGray commented 3 years ago

export dagmc was working from journal commands, but not from python.

Putting the filename in quotes like you suggested worked!

Cheers!

Thanks for this change @bam241
