[Plugin] SketchUcation Tools 2.6.1
-
Can you please substitute the two RBS files in the attached ZIP [you need to extract them and move them manually], with the same named files in the
../Plugins/SketchUcationsubfolder...
And restart SketchUp and retest.
This version traps for '' in $: folder-paths and makes them all '/' - so rogue paths [like Vray's] in $: don't mess us up...
If it works we know it's the culprit...
If not == Plan-B
-
That method appear to modify the input arguments. I wonder if you are passing around a reference from the system which might have been locked to protect it. The trivial way around that would be to not use the bang version of gsub ensuring that you create a copy when you modify the string.

If not == Plan-B :?
isn't the primary error attempting to gsub the frozen string [probably VRay]
in which case would
.dup.gsubbe the safer route?john
-
The attached files redo the method, hopefully avoiding the gsub completely.
The recode also replaces the '' with '/' in the folder-paths just in case.
I am unclear how a 'string' passed into the $: could be frozen when pushed into there ?
The gsub! manipulation occurred in a 'clone' of the $: anyway !
Let's see what the OP finds... -

When adding objects to arrays you pass a reference - so the string could have been locked before pushed. That doesn't sound like something Ruby itself does, but it could be an extension that did it. For instance, it could create a constant to it's support folder - and then freeze it in order to protect its constant from inadvertent change. Then it could have pushed it to $; for convenience (all though that would be bad practice IMO).
In any case - when iterating or fetching values external to your own extension, be careful to use methods that modify the object. Make sure to copy it as Ruby as the objects you pass around will refer to the same memory. http://stackoverflow.com/a/10974116/486990
So if you iterate $: and use gsub you will be modifying the content of $: which might lead to unexpected result for the rest of the system.

Looks like there is nothing odd about your $:
Looks like a permissions issue to me...
Find C:\Users\CAETANO\AppData\Roaming\SketchUp\SketchUp 2015\SketchUp
then with Admin powers, step up one level and select its folder-icon,
ensure it has FULL permissions set for ALL those listed under:
Right-click > Context-menu > Properties > Security > Edit
OK/Apply
Repeat the 'FULL' set up for the folders contents - there should be three subfolders Plugins, Classifications, Tools.
Ensure that the contents of the 'Plugins' folder are all also set 'FULL'.
The permission changes should automatically apply to a folder's contents, but just double-check...
If the 'Plugins' folder is missing try making it ??
try to delete the folder's "cookiejar.xml" file too - it might be corrupted.Restart SketchUp and test...
If this fails...
I see you have a Vray installation.
Can you disable that plugin, restart SketchUp and retry - to see if it is somehow conflicting ?Hi Guys,
I've seen a lot have been discussed, but I had the problem solved the hard way...
Uninstalled everything, deleted all the remaining folders and reinstalled everything again...I've tryied everything that TIG said above but still no success... So what I did was:
- Login as admin and ensured full permissions to every user to folder C:\Users\CAETANO\AppData\Roaming\SketchUp\SketchUp 2015\SketchUp and everything inside it.
-Deleted the "cookiejar.xml" file.
After that, ran SU and didn't work... So I disabled VFS and still didn't work...
So I got mad and unistalled everything!!
But I'd like to thank you for your time to try to help!
All the best,
Caetano

It works on a clone of $:, so can I assume that the locked string still passes through that !
I can trap anyway for a gsub, so it's not critical...
EDIT:
After a little more delving I discovered some other potential pitfalls in $: paths containing \ versus / and 'cloning' of frozen strings etc...
The replacement RBS files in the attached ZIP should now avoid these ??

How do you clone?
If you do call .clone then you clone the Array object itself - but it's a shallow clone. It doesn't clone all it's internal data.

Is this
array.cloneversusarray.dup?
I have side-stepped that process now anyway, by making a new array and adding items to that... -

-
In the format
item = (""+d.to_s)where 'd' is the element taken from the array... -
Reminder that
obj#clone()copies the frozen state ofobj, whilstobj#dup()does not. -
Back on topic, the person's problems came from the fact that they changed the plugin folder's icon under Windows, which messes up permissions. I've never been able to (comfortably) fix the folder except by re-creating it, copying all it's contents over, and deleting the one the had the changed icon. (...yes even despite the "Repair" button,...)

Hi All,
dumb question maybe, how do I use the plugin store extension with a different profile/how do I change my profile? I want to log into a different account.
-
You can't use multiple accounts on a device.
-
So I'm rolling out a profile/bundle of plugins as a standard starting point for an office. I've created a Profile for the office that multiple people will be able to log into in order to get the "standard" package of plugins. If they already have a sketchucation plugin store profile is there no way to allow them to log in to the office profile? What if they re-install sketchup?
-
We have a corporate version that is a managed solution whereby it has its own master account and the remaining devices use its installs.
This prevents the users messing up with different bundles etc.
-
That makes sense, I don't have the same need for control here. I just want everyone to have the same starting point, it can evolve beyond that later. This doesn't help me with a solution if someone already has a profile, ie. "log out". Can you offer any suggestions there? Would re-installing sketchup work or no? I'm hesitant to do a test run and re-install anyone's sketchup before knowing what my options are and what may or may not even have an impact.
-
My memory is a woolly on the corporate/team version.
I do remember that the master users dictates the bundle to be used and anyone else logging in can only use that bundle.
I'd need to chat with Gabor about it.
But reinstalling SU is not needed.
