Are you saying that UTF-8 characters do not work inside scrambled rubies ???

Did you save your unscrambled rb file as "UTF-8 without BOM" (aka "ANSI as UTF-8"), before scrambling ???

What I say is that I used some ordinary danish characters æøåÆØÅ and the the interpretor crashed with a lot of errors !

If I saved with or without BOM ... how should I know !

Tell me WHAT I should save it as - and I hope this BOM or not could be set up automatic - where do I do that ?

I think I'll HAVE to spend more time looking at your lesson on this matter to get this BEEP up and running !

It is on the Notepad++ Status Bar:

Dan - again you are there right before the ship goes down - a really nice lesson you've done !

BUT ...

I tried to use it and create the folder structure and replaced my name for AUTHOR and my plugin name for WIDGET and when I run SU I get this completely non-sence error message, and I think I've carefully watched upper and lowercase - done the scrambling:

Error Loading File C:/Program Files/Google/Google SketchUp 8/Plugins/KSOR/Remskive/remskive_loader.rb
(eval):39:in require': uninitialized constant KSOR::Remskive::ABSDIRError Loading File KSOR_remskive_ext.rb (eval):39:in require': uninitialized constant KSOR::Remskive::ABSDIR

is it "remskive_loader.rb" that's wrong ? the file has 1 line !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OR
is it "KSOR_remskive_ext.rb" that's wrong ? line 39 is a COMMENT !!!!!!!!!!!!
OR

It IS this encoding !

Dan Rathbun

OK... in scrambled rbs files, both __FILE__ and __LINE__ do NOT work. The Ruby standard Exception classes (and all it's subclasses, including LoadError, use both of those functions.)

SO... the info will be INCORRECT for rbs files, in any exception error message. (We have asked and asked Google to fix this.. but they have not yet done so.)

The first thing that happens is the reported error line numbers are off.
They are a sum of the number of lines into the first unscrambled file, plus the number of lines into the scrambled rbs file, where the actual error happened.

But the reason for your specific error, is actually a NameError exception, that occured during a file load via a require() method call, so require() re-raises the error as a LoadError exception.

Basically the problem is that a line in the rbs file.. cannot see the **KSOR::Remskive::ABSDIR** constant, so you must be sure that it is actually defined before ANY line tries to access it's value.

OK.. so you believe that the scrambler cannot scramble and unscramble UTF-8 encoded files correctly ??

I have not yet tried it myself. (And never did say that it would work.)

All Google's extensions that they scramble, use a separate UTF-8 language strings file, that gets loaded with the **LanguageHandler** class ( Hash) wrappers. (It is defined in the "Tools/langhandler.rb" file.)

Dan - again you are there right before the ship goes down - ...

Do not give up the ship !

You are learning a hell of a lot, in a very short period of time.

Please post the one line "remskive_loader.rb" file (within a bbCode box.)

OH wait !!

I can see the problem... BANG! (shooting self.)

STUPID DUMB error on my part.

The constants need to be defined BEFORE the Sketchup's extension loader tries to load the @path file, in line 19 of the "_ext.rb" file !!

I am sorry Keld.

I'll fix the example. Sheesh that was a dumb one.
(I had actually tested it with the "load on start" parameter, set to false. So this error did not happen for me in testing.)

DONE

Now I see the contours of a TEMPLATE for future plugins made in THE RIGHT WAY in a HURRY - that's good practice I think !

Still I have some claims and I'll try figure it out myself before I seek you help
