    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.

                            Walt,

                            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.

                                  The other thing I should say - is the defaults.txt file gets over written each time. So unfortunately you need to go back in and edit the file.

                                    you need to allow for easy/simple testing, put them on file and take them off when your done...

                                      Garry - No change for me with the 1.0.6 version (although the load error has disappeared, but I think that was due to cruft in my plugins folder, which I cleaned out). Plugin loads fine, and I get the same string in the console:
                                      show 1
                                      loaded 1
                                      cb1 complete
                                      closed 1
                                      show 2
                                      cb1 complete
                                      loaded 2
                                      cb2 complete

                                      Nothing else happens. Data fields are still blank, drop-downs aren't operational, and entering data in the fields and clicking OK doesn't cause anything to happen in the console window.

                                        with 1.0.6 i'm still getting all blank fields and non-functioning drop down menus.. same thing as Andrew above.

                                        ruby console reports:

                                        after i push the 'load' button:
