PLEASE HELP! Error Loading File vfs.rb undefined method `fil

[TIG]

The file_loaded?() method belongs to sketchup.rb
If this hasn't been loaded before the vfs.rb script then you'll get the error.
I assume you have few other plugins, since most of them would have already 'loaded' the sketchup.rb file's methods. The sketchup.rb file that is in Tools will auto-load after files in Plugins, but by then the damage is done as you script has failed.
You can ensure that the method is already loaded before any other scripts in Plugins [that might need it] as they auto-load - make a new file in the Plugins folder called say #.rb (so that it's auto-loaded very early on) and edit it with Notepad and include the line
require 'sketchup.rb' - this will ensure that the methods are loaded if they are not already, then your vfs.rb file should auto-load without that error [any other scripts that include require 'sketchup.rb' will function OK too, as only the first script to 'require' it loads it and the rest of them will skip it...].

thanks i will try that

[sarahbbg]

now i am getting this error
Error Loading File #.rb
Is a directory - /Users/sarahsaada/Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 8/SketchUp/Plugins/#.rbError Loading File vfs.rb
undefined method `file_loaded?' for main:Object

maybe the plugins folder is in the wrong place?

did you use the Vray for SU installer? Perhaps try installing again. Make sure you select the right version of sketchup (if you have more than one version installed)

It's a bug in VfS. The problem is how the vfs.rb file begins:

<span class="syntaxdefault"><br /></span><span class="syntaxkeyword">if(</span><span class="syntaxdefault"> not file_loaded</span><span class="syntaxkeyword">?(</span><span class="syntaxstring">"vfs.rb"</span><span class="syntaxkeyword">)</span><span class="syntaxdefault"> </span><span class="syntaxkeyword">)<br /></span><span class="syntaxdefault">puts </span><span class="syntaxstring">"vfs.rb loaded"<br /><br /></span><span class="syntaxdefault">require </span><span class="syntaxstring">'sketchup.rb'<br /></span><span class="syntaxdefault">require </span><span class="syntaxstring">'extensions.rb'<br /></span><span class="syntaxdefault"> </span>

file_loaded? is a method of sketchup.rb. In vfs.rb it tries to use the method before it's been loaded. Since VfSU loads first on your machine you run into this problem. Others that have other plugins installed that loads sketchup.rb before VfSU loads will not see this problem.

To correct the error, edit the vfs.rb file to look like this in the beginning:

<span class="syntaxdefault"><br />puts </span><span class="syntaxstring">"vfs.rb loaded"<br /><br /></span><span class="syntaxdefault">require </span><span class="syntaxstring">'sketchup.rb'<br /></span><span class="syntaxdefault">require </span><span class="syntaxstring">'extensions.rb'<br /></span><span class="syntaxkeyword">if(</span><span class="syntaxdefault"> not file_loaded</span><span class="syntaxkeyword">?(</span><span class="syntaxstring">"vfs.rb"</span><span class="syntaxkeyword">)</span><span class="syntaxdefault"> </span><span class="syntaxkeyword">)<br /></span><span class="syntaxdefault"> </span>

(I reported the bug to the VfS developers.)

[thomthom]

I'm surprised we've not heard from more people about this. I guess most VfS users have other plugins installed that loads before VfS.

[andybot]

wacky! So how is it determined which plugin loads first???

[thomthom]

Alphabetically by filename. V comes pretty late...
It's a silly bug. Devin... It warrants a facepalm.

You're right! It's not your personal 'users' folder path, but the central library one...
Type this is the Window > Ruby Console
Sketchup.find_support_file("Plugins")
It will return the correct path.
I hadn't realized you were on MAC.
When I said edit the new #.rb file with Notepad I hope you understood I meant a 'plain text editor' - do not use a word processor, it will add formatting and break the script.
Have you seen thomthom's explanation? about how the vfs.rbfile itself has a mis-ordering of lines and how moving the two 'require' lines to the start will fix it...

[sicksickisck]

I have the same problem; when I copy folder [skp]'plugins' from work to my house ..

[m0ku_m0ku]

Sorry , I have fixed the ruby line as Thomthom recommended.
But I've still gotten an error.

"Error Loading File vfs.rb
no such file to load -- sketchup.rb"

please help , thank in advance

[TIG]

IF the very first line of this script reads:
require 'sketchup.rb'
or
require "sketchup.rb"
Then it should work.

I suspect a misplaced " or a missing ' ?

If you still get an error, then check that there is a file in the SketchUp ' Tools' folder called ' sketchup.rb'.

If NOT then you must reinstall SketchUp!
If it's in the ' Plugins' folder then you must remove it.

If it is in the ' Tools' folder then type $LOAD_PATH...
If if doesn't include the ' Tools' folder then something is badly adrift...

Its Possible to upload the file vfs.rb fixed..
I have the same problem loading it..

I am having this issue after installing Vray1.49. This error shows up when I activate (check-mark) the Vray extension. I am using SketchupPro2015. Any help? Thanks. (Very frustrated with Vray.)

Hello There,
I am getting the attached Error message while loading the Sketchup. Please help.

[andybot]

How old of a version are you trying to use?

[dhrubazaan]

My Sketchup is 2016 with Vray 3.4 and my operating system is Windows 7.
