Auto Reload Plugin folder

Morgan74

Hello,

Thanks to Jim's topic http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=31394 I wrote a plugin to reload a complete folder.

You define the folder to check and you can define some ignored files.
When the LastModificationDate change SU reload the file.
If an error occurs, a messagebox is displayed with the error message with a retry buton.

My module name is Morgan74DevTools so to start the plugin just call "Morgan74DevTools.startAutoReload()" from the console, from your code or uncomment the last code line.

module Morgan74DevTools
  Folder = "plugins/Morgan74"
  IgnoredFiles = ["Morgan74ToolLoader.rb","Morgan74Tools.rb"]
  
  @timer = nil
  @fileList = []
  @fileDate = []

  def self.startAutoReload()
    folder = Sketchup.find_support_file(Folder) #find folder
    @fileList = Dir.entries(folder) #find files
    #remove sub-folders & Ignored files
    to_delete_list = IgnoredFiles
    @fileList.each do |f|
      if File.directory?(File.join(folder,f)) == true
        to_delete_list.push(f)
      end
    end
    to_delete_list.each do |f|
      @fileList.delete(f)
    end
    #concat folder and files
    @fileList.collect! {|f| File.join(folder,f)}
    #Save last modification Date
    0.upto(@fileList.length()-1){|i|
      @fileDate[i] = Kernel.test(?M,@fileList[i])
    }

    self.startTimer()
  end

  def self.startTimer()
    #Start Timer
    @timer = UI.start_timer(2, true) do
      self.AutoReload()
    end
  end

  def self.stopAutoReload()
    UI.stop_timer(@timer)
  end

  def self.AutoReload()
    0.upto(@fileList.length()-1){|i|
      if Kernel.test(?M,@fileList[i]) != @fileDate[i]
        begin
          Sketchup.set_status_text("Loading ; " + @fileList[i].to_s(),SB_PROMPT)
          load @fileList[i]
          @fileDate[i] = Kernel.test(?M,@fileList[i])
        rescue Exception => e
          #Stop timer
          self.stopAutoReload()
          msg = "AutoReload Plugin\n\n"
          msg << "Error loading file ;\n" + @fileList[i].to_s() + "\n\n"
          msg << "Error message ;\n" + e.message + "\n\n"
          msg << "Fix the error before click RETRY or CANCEL to stop the plugin"
          result = UI.messagebox(msg,MB_RETRYCANCEL)
          self.startTimer() if (result == 4)#Retry = restart timer
        end
      end
    }
  end
end

#Morgan74DevTools.startAutoReload()

Next step can be reload all the folders inside the plugin folder.

Here is an example of the error message :

Would help if it included the traceback message so one know exactly where the error occurred.

Morgan74

The traceback is always the same with this plugin because the lastest method used is "load" :
["C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/Google SketchUp 7/Plugins/Morgan74DevTools.rb:48:inload'", "C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/Google SketchUp 7/Plugins/Morgan74DevTools.rb:48:in AutoReload'", "C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/Google SketchUp 7/Plugins/Morgan74DevTools.rb:44:in upto'", "C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/Google SketchUp 7/Plugins/Morgan74DevTools.rb:44:in AutoReload'", "C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/Google SketchUp 7/Plugins/Morgan74DevTools.rb:35:in startTimer'", "C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/Google SketchUp 7/Plugins/Morgan74DevTools.rb:34:in call'"]

But you have in the error message the line of the error and a "small" description :
