Fixed! (Packaging mistake)

Another Error

Aerilius,

Nice console, thanks.

Anton,

Why have you by-passed the installer and put the plugin in the Tools folder? The Tools folder is for SketchUp to use and it is recommended not to put anything there.

Start by removing the ae_Console files and folder from SketchUp's Tools folder, and install the plugin correctly using the Windows > Preferences > Extensions > Install Extension button.

LOL, did you monitor my comp??
Exactly, I have it in tools folder. The reason is do to having 3 plugins folders: plugins draw - fredo tools+tt_lib+more, plugins game - sketchy physics, plugins testing - my plugins. I rename one of folders to plugins whenever I feel to use one of them. I jst wanted to eliminate the loading of all "plugins", and use the plugins that I want instead of loading all plugins. For me, the tools folder is like the "main plugins". Ruby console, window settings... is a good place for them - cause I use them in all plugins.

Well, anyways thanks for pointing that out: moving it to plugins

I didn't get that error. I then tested on another computer where I had tested the beta version and got the error.
You probably have the beta version installed and the registry (Sketchup 8\Plugins_ae\Console) contains an old/invalid value.
The script errors in IE are very pertinacious. I'll try to validate the configuration before passing it into the webdialog.

Hmm... it still gives me that error!

Errased, the beta, and all version, including this one, ran CCleaner, I guess I got it all removed using regedit, and it still gives me that error. How should error exist, when I cleaned-up after beta?

[Aerilius]

CCleaner doesn't do magic. I does a lot but I would be surprised if it (only) deleted HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\SketchUp 8\Plugins_ae\Console.
The problem is that the only way to bring data from Ruby to SketchUp (execute_script) doesn't handle invalid data, it can't catch and suppress parsing errors.
I have a new version where I validate the data on the Ruby side before I pass it to the WebDialog. I'll upload it soon

That'll be great

[Aerilius]

I uploaded a preliminary with the fix (1.0.2) to prevent this script error. I wanted to use my new webdialog communication system, but that isn't finished yet. It will come later.

I uploaded...

Good, good!! Thks

[alexschreyer]

Ruby console on steroids! Very nice.

Cheers,

New features added:
inspector for SketchUp entities and many little improvements.

[Anton_S]

Thankyou, thnakyou, thankyou!!!
I use it all the time

[Dan Rathbun]

I have sizing issues on XP w/ IE8 installed. (SU v8.0M4)

---

[Aerilius]

That is not (only) a sizing issue, the JavaScript does not run. Maybe something in the WebDialog-Ruby communication goes wrong and does not call the %(#000000)[initialize()] function?

[Reind Brackman]

Just installed Ruby Console+ and my productivity doubled already.
Also very good to avoid RSI, better known as 'lets load the damn script again command...'
Thanks - great work.

Hi
Could anyone solve this issue?

---

[Aerilius]

What same problem? What browser? What version of the plugin?
Can you try the latest version?

[rami_lpm]

All I'm getting is this.

Win Vista Business 64
Java 7 update 7
IE 7 <--- is this a problem?
