Definitions.load_from_url failing when called from an HTMLDi

[gmolina1]

Hello,

I am trying to load a ComponentDefinition from a local file in my PC (shipped with the extension, actually), but it just freezes when done from an HTMLDialog callback.

The original call is made from HERE , and it freezes when gets to THIS point.

However, when I call the GH::Groundhog::Photosensor.add(arguments) function from the Ruby console, it works beautifully.

Any idea why this might be happening? I could not find any other information online

THANKS TO ALL IN ADVANCE!

EDIT::: This is happening in Sketchup Make 2017, in macOS High Sierra.

But ...load_from_url only works with proper URL HTTP address paths etc.
And, since you are already shipping the SKP within a subfolder with your extension, then you can simply use:
defn = Sketchup.active_model.definitions.load('full_path_to_subfolder/MODEL.skp')
You can easily get the path to your subfolder from __FILE__ as your file loads...
perhaps testing with:
unless model.definitions['MODEL'], to avoid reloading it ??

It worked wonderfully! I was using the load_from_url method with a file:// prefix before, and it also worked... but this makes more sense.

Thanks!
