This suggests to me that you have some duplicate files loading...
One file where it ought to be and one already inside Plugins - where you have messed up an install earlier on...
Please refer to the original tools' pages about 'what goes where'...
Also check that nothing inside one of these tool's subfolders is also now inside the Plugins folder, e.g. if [on the of chance ] you have mis-installed files in the incorrect places earlier and you have failed to think about trying to rectifying your balls-up before restarting !

No - I asked him to do that after SU had started. Those warning are there because the constants where defined when SU started. I was hoping that manually reloading would give me a full call stack trace... alas...

TIG

Alack!
I'm sure there's a simple explanation to how he's balls-up this all up...
I'm sure its PEBKAC...

If I remove UV tools and lib.. I do not have problem.

sepo

I have reinstalled the tools and lib....and same error appears.

Hi Thomas

I am trying to install your plugin on my Imac and it is posting this error.

Plugins/TT_UV_Toolkit/loader.rb
> can't convert nil into StringError Loading File tt_uv_toolkit_2.rb
> can't convert nil into String

The error message actually included this string "Plugins/TT_UV_Toolkit/loader.rb" ?

What if you type in the Ruby Console: load 'TT_UV_Toolkit/loader.rb' - what messages do you get then?

Can we see a screenshot of your Plugins folder? (Please include the whole Finder window)

sepo

you can see plugin folder and SU folder here

I will try the ruby console when I get back home.
thanks for looking into this.

huh!.... appear to be no temp path set in the environment variables...

Type this into the Ruby Console:
ENV.each { |k,v| puts "#{k.inspect} : #{v.inspect}" }; nil

sepo

ENV.each { |k,v| puts "#{k.inspect} : #{v.inspect}" }; nil

My suspicion is confirmed.
But I don't understand - it gives no info about where the system temp path should be.

Exactly what OS do you have?

sepo

Lion 10.7.4

sepo

Could it be because it is installed in the root? just guess.

TIG

When you installed Sketchup did you accept the default folder location ?
The ENV variable should contain lots of data - like your user-paths, temp/tmp folders etc...

I have no idea. I'm not that familiar with OSX - but this is the first time anyone ever reported an issue like this. I've also never seen a complete lack of environment variables...

Yes

OK, I solved problem now. I created the account and moved all software to that account and now everything loads fine so far. So it looks like Mac does not like when some stuff is installed on root. It seems to me it requires creating account.
Thanks for your help Thomas.
