Voilà la réponse à ton script ...

with navigator.platform
8 chars => MacIntel
isMac? true
isWin? false
end with

Cela fait-il avancer le Schmilblick ?

Bonjour Vincent,

Merci. Rassure toi, les choses avancent. Le dernier script permet à une boîte de dialogue de connaître l'OS sous-jacent sans aucun paramètre envoyé à partir de Ruby. Ce n'est probablement pas totalement sûr mais très certainement utile.
Maintenant que tu dois attendre quelques jours avant de connaître le résultat de ton travail je voudrais développer un peu plus avant le processus 'pas à pas'. Nous nous connaissons depuis peu et je comprends très bien que cette manière d'aborder un problème ne t'est pas habituelle, peut-être même un peu ennuyeuse. Mais c'est le moyen le plus rapide de faire fonctionner SUalive sur ton Mac. Tout autre façon d'agir peut conduire à l'empilement et/ou combinaison de bugs. Supposant que tout ce passe bien jusqu'à l'affichage de l'onglet 'Project' j'ai l'intention de te demander de na pas aller plus loin. Je sais que ce qu'une telle requête provoque comme frustration mais fais moi confiance. Le confort de l'utilisateur final est au prix d'un code solide et robuste. Nous passons maintenant plus de la moitié de notre temps de développement à vérifier le fonctionnement de SUalive puis vérifier à nouveau et encore une fois. Après ça quand tout est terminé, tu sais quoi? nous recommençons le processus complet de vérification. Au moindre doute nous reprenons tout à zéro. Tu n'es pas seul, nous aussi avons une idée précise du niveau de frustration provoqué par cette nécessité.
Si tu as des questions, c'est le bon moment!

Thanks. Of course things are moving forward. The last script allows a WebDialog for knowing about the operating system without any parameter sent from Ruby. Probably not fully secure but useful for sure.
Now you have to wait some days before having the result of your work I would like talking a bit about this step-by-step process. We meet not for long and I understand the checking process one step after another may be unusual for you perhaps even a bit annoying but it's the shortest way to quickly make SUalive at work on your Mac. More intuitive way could lead to bugs stacking and/or merging. Assuming things go right up to the 'Project' tab shown I'm going to ask you for not going further. I know how frustrating you will feel with that but trust me. Aiming the end user ease there are no other way to achieve a robust and strong code. We now spend more than half of our full developing time to check then check and check another time SUalive. And after that when finished and before releasing you know what? we restart to check once. If we get in doubt we start another time the full check process. You are not alone we also know about frustration!
If you want to ask for anything. It's the right time!

Best Regards

Bonjour Vincent,
La version corrigée est disponible en téléchargement sur le site web. Si le bug a disparu j'aurais aimé que tu me montres une copie d'écran de l'onglet 'Project' (png format si possible) puis que tu cliques sur l'icône menu en haut à gauche et charge la boîte de dialogue 'Preferences' (copies d'écran de chaque onglet si tu le peux). Enfin lance la fenêtre d'aide à partir du même menu (ici aussi une copie d'écran serait bien venue).
Ces trois fenêtres recèlent un foule de détails concernant le code multi-plateformes.

Patched version available on the website. If bug fixed I would have liked you to show me a screen copy of the 'Project' tab - png picture if you can - then click the top-left icon menu and load 'Preferences' - screen copy of each tab appreciated - and finally launch 'Help' from the same menu - here also screen copy would be great!
These three windows hold much as regard cross-platform code.

Bon, retour rapide :
Sur SU 15 : instal ok, puis plus rien, l' extension apparait bien dans le menu correspondant, mais au lancement, affiche toujours la fenêtre de démarrage avec les 2 boutons à valider, puis une fois validée la fenêtre disparait sans
autre menu, icône ou autre renseignement, à l'écran.
Sur SU 16 : là c'est vite fait : plantage de SU dès le lancement (après installation, rien dans le menu correspondant)

Tu devrais mettre les n° de version dans le titre de l'extension, histoire de savoir si c'est vraiment la bonne que je télécharge .

Bonjour Vincent,
Ce téléchargement n'était qu'un premier essais. Je vais t'envoyer un lien spécifique pour le suivant qui tente de répondre à la question : Où le script stoppe-t-il? Il n'est pas sensé fonctionner mais uniquement écrire des blocs d'identificateurs indentés dans la console Ruby, comme ci-dessous.
Ne perd pas ton temps à tester les deux, Sketchup15 et 16 pour l'instant. Sketchup16 est très suffisant.

EN
The file you downloaded was merely a first trial. I am going to send you a specific link for the next one which aims to answer : Where does the script stop? It is not meant to show but only write indented blocks of identifiers in Ruby console like the following.
Don't spent your time with both Sketchup15 and 16 at the moment. SketchUp16 is far enough!

with Run vX.XX.xxxx
  id
  ...
end with Run
with Load
  id
  ...
  with Show
    id

  end with Show

Hello,
I'm meeting hard-time with Mac OSX!

As you may read Postby WhyDi » Fri Aug 19, 2016 1:24 pm on previous page Vincent ran the script shown and got the right results which means dialogue-box returns True if Osx-user clicks 'continue' and False when 'exit' button clicked. His reply right underneath has lost the picture but he said 'So far so good'.

Based on this result I updated SUalive then sent a copy to Vincent. Didn't work!

I spent nearly a full day trying to catch why and ended up with the script below so that getting a better check. Please note this is the same script than previous page out of Dlg_debug.new() lays inside a Method embedded in two IF blocks.

require 'sketchup'

module YDco_debug;module YDalv
	class << self

				else
					lics = YDalv;;Dlg_debug.new()
					if lics.load_dialog()
						puts "....Dlg_debug returns true"
					else
						puts "....Dlg_debug returns false"
					end
				end
			end
		end
	end
	class Dlg_debug < UI;;WebDialog
		def initialize()

	puts "Start debug ------------------------------------------------" + RUBY_VERSION.to_s
	puts "call main_method()"
	main_method()
	puts "--------------------------------------------------------debug End"
end;end

The script no longer works! always yields False due to WebDialog returns before lics.load_dialog() executed - pictures of return available if you wish. Consistent! may you reply related to show_modal cross-platform difference. Yes it is!

Two points
I'm fully aware of ThomThom wrote in Sketchup WebDialogs - The Lost Manual about show_modal . So
1 - Just for my education on this.
Please tell me why the first script is right and not the second?
2 - Need for SUalive at work on OSX
Is there any way to make WebDialog fully modal on Mac OSX? any workaround? way of coding to achieve?

Have a good week

I reformatted your code so I could follow it, and pre-defined @is_ok...

it appears to work as far as I can follow what you might want...

Hi John (perhaps you prefer Driven?). Nice to meet you here!

Good idea reformatting the code to get a better understanding. I like your way! Your code looks better than mine.
Before explanations may I ask you for running the script on the previous page. I would have liked you to run one time clicking 'continue' button the another clicking 'exit' button then show me the results in your console.
This only to make sure that first script works on more than one single Mac computer.

Good evening

@whydi said:

... I would have liked you to run one time clicking 'continue' button the another clicking 'exit' button then show me the results in your console...

the webDialog works in both scripts, but debug code doesn't write to console when you expect...

it runs on load and returns false because you haven't defined @is_ok

Start debug ------------------------------------------------2.0.0
Dlg_debug returns false
--------------------------------------------------------debug End

you need to add a timer if you want to wait for the dlg's action callback...

john

WhyDi

Hi John
Looks like you know the solution. Good news!
I made some minor changes in your reformatted script. May you run it?
In main_method I commented 'if lics.load_dialog...end' block which is replaced with one message and one puts
in HTML I commented //alert(isOK)

       def main_method
         puts 'main_method() entry point'
         bool_first = true
         if bool_first
           puts '..first true'
           bool_second = false
           if bool_second
             puts '....second true'
           else
            # added to show ruby gets here
             puts '....second false'
             lics = YDalv;;Dlg_debug.new
						 str_msg = "....Dlg_debug returns " + lics.load_dialog().to_s
						 UI.messagebox(str_msg)
						 puts str_msg
             # if lics.load_dialog
               # puts '....Dlg_debug returns true'
             # else
               # puts '....Dlg_debug returns false'
             # end
           end
         end
       end

may you post both message-box snapshot on your Mac?

if so you need to move the message box into the callback, or else it shows before the user selection...

you still dont get it.gif

Hi John
I'm actually after your first gif but on OSX got the second one until now!
Thanks for your time. I know how much time it takes for you making the previous post.
The matter seems all about way of coding and the first step out of two could be achieved - provided the following works fine on your Mac! may you run it?

script.rb in zip

what it should show

require 'sketchup'

module YDco_debug;module YDalv
	class << self
		def main_method()
			YDalv;;Dlg_debug.new()
		end
	end
	class Dlg_debug < UI;;WebDialog
	
		def initialize()
			super "SUalive debug", false, "SUalvDebug", 512, 256, 100, 50, false
			set_html(html_data)
			initialize_callback()
			set_on_close do
				str_out = "  Dlg_debug returns " + @is_ok.to_s
				puts str_out

Start debug ------------------------------------------------2.0.0
--------------------------------------------------------debug End

  Dlg_debug returns true

Start debug ------------------------------------------------2.0.0
--------------------------------------------------------debug End

  Dlg_debug returns false

your 'debug End' is still being called too early...

did you notice I had moved it in the code for the first gif?

john

driven

yes it works as you expect...

BTW. did you look at this old post in your search http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=418498#p418498, the code would need some updating for ruby2 but it works if I remove the dot in the pathnames...

I did develop the idea further to use in a mac plugin called Add_Icon, it's in the store and not scrambled...

Hi John,

I downloaded your extension and had a look to the code below your link. I never thought making code this way and such WebDialog is really fully modal as it locks the full screen.

The user can only interact with your own controls and even not the system - shortcuts perhaps?
Are minimize and maximize and close buttons hidden? maybe dialog.navigation_buttons_enabled does?
Html '<title> TOP more= <<MORE </title>'. Never seen such construction. May you explain?

it is a 'faux' modal window, as in 'fake' or 'false'...

@unknownuser said:

it really only effects the mouse clicks on the dialog
@unknownuser said:

the window buttons that are shown work for the dialog, and cover the SU ones below it...

@unknownuser said:

Html '<title> TOP more= <<MORE </title>'. Never seen such construction. May you explain?

it's ruby HEREDOC and works the same as %Q allowing the use of quotes inside the strings and dynamic content from ruby calls...

it's useful for html as you can have mixed quotes for javascript or css in the strings...

SUalive

Hi John,
I don't feel comfortable with ruby HEREDOC. May come soon! or not!

Now get back on your reformatted code. I noticed your html header

<head>
  <meta content="charset=utf-8" http-equiv="content-type">
  <meta content="Yes" http-equiv="MSThemeCompatible">
  <meta content="IE=edge,chrome=1" http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible">
</head>

and our


<head>
  <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="charset=UTF-8">
  <meta http-equiv="MSThemeCompatible" content="Yes">
  <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge,chrome=1">
</head>

Is it all about your way of coding or can such small variation effect html rendering in WebDialog on the Mac?

Hello,

Here are our comments after adjusting SUalive code
cross-platform Windows/OSX show_modal. Report on Windows side.

In short UI::WebDialog.set_on_close() only raised if parent window not visible.

main_window not visible
Shared code above works only if dlg_main is not visible e.g. dlg_license - dlg_license launched at start time but dlg_main is not shown and will be shown only if user agrees to license. In such context SketchUp raises set_on_close() method. dlg_parent.nil? == true inside set_on_close which means no call to any outside method reading dlg_license class variable. As a consequence we need true_modality_emulation_through_timer() method where dlg_parent.nil? == false - don't tell me why I really don't know.
main_window visible
Shared code above no longer works after dlg_main shown as SketchUp does not raise set_on_close() method. So any inside code is simply ignored. Here is the alternative.

Yes John I had
The previous code was merely another check before going further. The issue is fixed in the following, at least I think until you tell me the results!
so here is the code aiming nearly full emulation of WebDialog modality.
