Using Fing as a new way to detect smartphone presence

[ryanbuckner]

I deleted it and re-added it. It's being updated so I'm not sure why the sporadic errors.

Will check a little bit more in the next days. One explanation is the extra space. The variable looks identical you can see the blank. Had that before. Took me a long time to figure it out.

I looked at the logic:
it tries to update the variable. if it can not do that it will restart.
then at restart if will try to create that variable.

so if it works again after restart variable must be either unavailable or does not exist.
does not exist: something has deleted it.
can not update due to .?: could be that indigo is busy. That happens when an applescript runs and blocks indigo ( one of my favorite.) You will find that in the indigo or the general system log file as a timeout.

Karl,

Incorrect file attached to the latest version. It points to the uniFi plugin.

hey mate, after the recent issue with change to Mac OS Catalina the command line changes you specified worked. Since then the new version of Fingscan that came out I upgraded to but I am now seeing this in the log Windows consistently;

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "plugin.py", line 4531, in runConcurrentThread
File "plugin.py", line 4578, in dorunConcurrentThread
AttributeError: 'Plugin' object has no attribute 'quitNOW'

fingscan Error plugin runConcurrentThread function returned or failed (will attempt again in 10 seconds)

fingscan Error Error in plugin execution runConcurrentThread:

thanks

could you a disable and enable plugin

then I need the FIRST error message. The quitNOW can not be the first one.
the log should start w:
FINGSCAN-- initializing will take ~ 2 minutes...; sending logs to ....

also check the plugin.log file /Library/Application Support/Perceptive Automation/Indigo 7.4/Logs/com.karlwachs.fingscan/plugin.log

No problems

Ok Error1 below I think is the full error while running from the top


Error2 is after a restart of plugin


thanks

[kw123]

If you look at the restart logfile it states the plugin name is not correct

You like had an old plugin in download and the new one is now named -2

Stop the plugin
Rename the plugin to the correct name - remove the -2
And reload

Out of interest, why does this affect the plugin running?

A few of my plugins have ended up being named-2 but other than annoying my OCD, it doesn’t affect the plugin...?

All Kind of indigo function stop working and the path references are screwed up

There is the fileName and the plugin name in the props files- they must be the same at least after the first install no change is good

It’s not a plugin issue but driven by indigo functions.

This is a common mistake that’s why I added the log statement explicitly stating that this is wrong and what to do.
Then a sleep 1000 seconds after that to give the user the opportunity to fix it.

thanks mate.

Yep still a learning path structures in MacOS so didn't make much sense to me initially. All good looks to be going now

I am hoping this is the cause of the lag I have been seeing post Catalina upgrade.

thanks again
