    Jeff Thanks a ton. You've been very helpful.

    I'm going to build a shell that just populates the web dialog box with values. It will be easier to debug. Then I will see if thomthom, or TIG can help out.

      I re read all of thomthom's documentation on web dialogs. It turns out that Safari doesn't support the onload event. I've changed how I am doing things. I'm hopeful that I've got it figured out.

      Please download a current version and try it out on the mac - thanks.

        hmm.. same thing as last time..

        i'm not sure if there's something i can check to be positive i'm using the latest test version but in this case, i assume since i had to re-edit the txt file, all went well on the installation side of things.

          Thanks,

          You can check the version in the Extensions area under Preferences. However - I did not change the version number this time. It is 1.0.3
          Next time we try I will make a point of increasing the build number.

          I will need to dig into this.

          BTW are you running Sketchup 2014?
          I haven't tested my plugin with that version - I didn't even know that it was out yet.

            Jeff,

            What version of SU are you running?

            What I find interesting and frustrating is that I thought I solved this a month ago. Driven ran my test code on his mac and it seemed to work fine.

            There is a dialog_test.rb file part way down this thread

            http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=180%26amp;t=55577

            perhaps you can try it and see if you 1) get a populated web dialog and 2) get an SU message box with you click "OK"

              i'm doing all the testing on SketchUp Make 2013 and OSX 10.9.1 (mavericks)

              Screen Shot 2014-02-04 at 4.31.50 PM.png

              (some of the earlier ruby errors (which i've edited out of the thread) were being reported in a weird version of sketchup i have but i switched to trying in in SuMake.)


              when using the web dialog test via the link you provided, all seems to work fine (again, sizing/layout issues with the actual window but the functionality of the dialog appears to work well-- drop downs, text fields, buttons, check boxes.. no problems).. plus there are default setting already entered in the text fields etc when doing the test.

              message box upon clicking 'OK' in the test:

                When I did this test I thought we were good to go with Safari.

                I suppose it is possible that it is a timing issue - which is possible since Safari works asynchronously.

                The difference is instead of hard coding the defaults, the program retrieves values out of variables - that would slow it down.

                I think the next step is to push out some info to the console. I have made a few other changes as I am getting ready to publish the plugin via the plugin store.

                Anyway - I wish I could afford a Mac - then I wouldn't have to rely on you as much. I am grateful.

                A question on the side. Your bio states you are a carpenter. What kind of work do you do may I ask?

                    Pretty cool - my oldest son tore his ACL while skateboarding. He was on a pretty steep street.

                    I've move the building of the string with all the defaults out of the call back. This should help speed it up.

                    I've also put in a few debug messages to the console.

                    Since you have a user id and password already I'll just put the plugin here.

                        Thanks Jeff,

                        By any chance did you have the ruby console open when you tried the stair maker?

                          .

                          yeah. sorry- should of mentioned it earlier:


                          Error: #<LocalJumpError: unexpected return>
                          (eval):551:in `run_startup_dialog'

                          with the dialog test, there's no error but all the stuff starting with 'from_ruby' and on appear in the ruby console..

                            I've got some different debugging information in here.
                            I've also changed a bit of code that now uses instance variables.

                            Please open your Ruby Console and try it and send me back the information.
                            Thanks


                            version 1.0.5

                              Garry - I've already sent you this information offline, but I'm repeating it here for the record.

                              When I open SU, I immediately get the following error:

                              Error Loading File GKWare_StairMaker_Ext.rb
                              undefined method `call' for false:FalseClass

                              Open the Ruby Console, then select Plugins>Curved Stairs>Stair Maker, and I get this in the console:

                              show 1
                              loaded 1
                              cb1 complete
                              closed 1
                              show 2
                              cb1 complete
                              loaded 2
                              cb2 complete

                              Unless I'm mistaken, the "cb2 complete" shouldn't post to the console until I've hit the OK button, right?

                                    John,

                                    You need to edit the Defaults.txt file and insert user and password.
                                    Error -21 means "user not on file"
                                    The shipped user in the defaults.txt file is "user" and password is "test" and these are not on file.

                                    You would have to register on my website which will email you with your password.

                                      The "http error" comes from the http call to my web service.

                                      xmlHttp.readyState == 4
                                      and
                                      xmlHttp.status != 200

                                      I could have returned the status - they mostly talk about time outs etc.
                                      I know that the web host site has been experiencing hack attacks today. So it very well could time out.

                                        Ok so I missed the part about registering on your website so I did just now and still getting "http error" will try later. PS handrail works good. How long is the trial good for?

                                          The trial is for 30 days. I will reset everyone once I get this working.

                                          I am adding a temporary button ( it will mess up the look of the web dialog - but then this is just temporary )

                                          I want to rule out if this is a timing issue.
                                          Click the load button should reload the information.
