New Plugin: GhostXML

Try this:

the pertinent script section:

Code: Select all

 def printOverview(self):
        """print a short overview of the plant data"""
        for v in self.getPlantOverview():
            print("%15s (%15s): %s %s" %
                (v['name'], v['meta'], v['value'], v['unit']))

            if (v['meta'] == 'GriEgyTdy'):
                        indigo.variable.updateValue(1822257245, v['value'])
            if (v['name'] == 'GriEgyTot'):
                        indigo.variable.updateValue(1469286291, v['value'])
            if (v['name'] == 'GriPwr'):
                        indigo.variable.updateValue(1958563501, v['value']) 
            if (v['name'] == 'Mode'):
                        indigo.variable.updateValue(789149473, v['value'])

    def getPlantOverview(self):

        return res['overview']

    def getDevices(self):

I always highlight and copy/paste the spaces or tabs which are working onto the ones which aren't. Personally I do it all with tabs, not spaces, but the original code has been written with spaces so I copied the spaces before the "print" line.

... NOTE: interestingly, the code as i posted it here, does have different indents, but in BBEdit it does not. so, i deleted all spaces and reindented those lines, but.. still same result. odd. thoughts?

Probably mentioned elsewhere, but when you indent in Python, you can't mix tabs and spaces - it must be all tabs or all spaces. Personally I use spaces.

It would be kind of useful if Indigo converted all tabs to spaces because this type of error is difficult to pick up in the embedded script dialogue as there isn't a mechanism to show invisibles.

hey guys, thanks!

i cut and pasted what you posted, peter, there was one errant indent at the end, removed, and now works!

thank you!

i try to be good about tabbing, but... obv not good enough. i've redone that section myriad times, so annoying.

so. now.

the (almost) only thing not working is the log at the end. can't sort which variable should be in there. but, this is not a deal breaker....

thank you all.

Use BBEdit's Text->Detab... command to convert all the tabs in the file to spaces. And set the preferences to insert 4 spaces instead of tabs. Using actual tab characters in Python is asking for trouble.

copy that! thank you.

If you mean the log about unicode(swb) then get rid of the line - that was troubleshooting towards Dave's better approach of JSONing the data but you're not using that for now.

Definitely agree that you can get rid of that line. It was as Peter suggests, a way to just get the data in a form that we would be able to access it directly.

I must admit I'm not sure where you are with this now, but it sounds like you're on the path to get what you need.

it's good, and working, i posted in the other forum, with pic of control page. i was trying to keep from cluttering your plugin forum with my personal problems.

yes, i commented out the log line, even though at some point i would like to log the result of the call in indigo. for now i'll just do it through indigo directly when the variables change.

all good. thanks very much for all the help!

Glad to hear it. Cheers!

Dave, should we get Jay to do a new subforum for GhostXML like your other plugins, and (if possible) give me mod rights on just this subforum?

I'd like to split this conversation into a new thread, still in your forum, as I'd like to look at getting the JSON approach sorted over time.

That's a good idea. I'll send you a PM to walk through the options.

Dave, I'm not sure if indeed it' s GhostXML fault but after I've installed it yesterday (3.08) I've observerd today these errors.
A lot of other plugins crashed with errors (APC plugin, Alexa, Online sensor, Fingscan,etc.).
And I didn't have such an error with the older version.

I've disabled it for now (about 10 minutes ago) no error for the moment, I will keep an eye on the logs.

Can you please have a look at these logs here?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Yassi - I think I know what's going on. Over time, the GhostXML plugin is consuming too many processes and they're therefore unavailable to your other plugins. I don't have time to address the root cause at the moment, but will make it my next priority. In the interim, I suggest downgrading to the last stable version.

I'll pull the most recent update for now. Sorry for the inconvenience!
Dave

Dave, no problem, take your time!
Thanks for looking so quickly into this!

Ok, until the next version will be out I will go with the old one.

This condition should be much improved in the most current version of the plugin (which can be found in the Indigo Plugin Store).
