Getting script by download or export failed (on Ubuntu, Fixed)

[ghvau]

I play a little bit with the jama-gui and get the following situations:

1. Creation mpy script, store it on device, can run it in the expected way, but the DOWNLOAD function general get message: "An error has occurred"
2. Use different Jama Funcs as expected, but the EXPORT function general get message: "An error occurred while exporting this function"

Ubuntu 22.04, source code running (github), ESP32+CP2102

Hello @ghvau and thank you for using the soft and for your comment!
I understand that the software opens a dialog box to "load" or "save" a file is a problem for you.
In my opinion it is a problem of access rights to the default folder on which the dialog box opens.
Try to launch the software with more rights? It is probably too restricted.

Hi Jean, after some "chmod's" w/o succsess i do the extreme test and run the program as ROOT: -> same behavior. It's not a problem, it is unlovely. But i have a workaround: copy and paste :-)

@ghvau, maybe I found the cause of the rights problem for the default folder on your Linux.
Just telle me, do you see the save dialog box correctly if you click on the "this template" button in the "Jama Funcs" page?

Also, I added a default directory for all dialog boxes : 9d59fe3
Can you try the latest sources of the repository?
Then you tell me. 👍🏻 Thank you @ghvau

@ghvau <https://github.com/ghvau>, see private mail. The "copyfile" function crashed because of different parameter type. Different "string" handling in Window/Linux ???

I did not receive any particular private email?
Strings are used in copyfile function.

To tell the truth, I never tested it directly under Linux but maybe @happenpappen can help us?

It is strange that it plants in this place.
Does the modification I made allow you to see all the dialogs at least?
(Also, if you export the template from the top of page Jama Funcs, that's works?)

So, if I see well, it is important that I understand how the Python copyfile works under Linux.

... send private mail again !

[ghvau]

... "Does the modification I made allow you to see all the dialogs at least? .."
For me, there is no change inside the EXPORT dialog and function.

Maybe there is a different dialog depending used os ?

My sended modification (string modification inside Export Jama Funcs) works for me.
Maybe there is an equal situation inside DOWNLOAD Code Editor.

[jczic]

Ok, I seen your mail and I fixed that, thank you!
I've just used "str()" to transtype the objc -> 340b421
Can you retry with latest sources please?
Thank you again 👍🏻

[ghvau]

I am sorry but this "easy" type conversion don't work, i get the same error/situation. I try it also before i found the other solution, maybe not the best way, but working in Ubuntu environment.

a = ('/', 'h', 'o', 'm', 'e', '/', 'n', 'o', 'd', 'e', 'm', 'c', 'u', '/')
print(a)
('/', 'h', 'o', 'm', 'e', '/', 'n', 'o', 'd', 'e', 'm', 'c', 'u', '/')
print(str(a))
('/', 'h', 'o', 'm', 'e', '/', 'n', 'o', 'd', 'e', 'm', 'c', 'u', '/')
an=''.join(str(x) for x in a)
print(an)
/home/nodemcu/

[ghvau]

This will be the smallest modification, which run in my env:
copyfile(filename, ''.join(r))

[ghvau]

A other approach maybe to find out, why the target file name for disk writing was a type "tuple" and not "string" ?!

[jczic]

Ok @ghvau it's done with join().
Indeed, it's very strange that the return of the file dialogs is a Tuple on your Linux distribution. I have to report this to the pywebview developer.
So the source update should work on you now.
Thanks to you. 👍🏻

[ghvau]

... downloaded, used, solution confirmed !
Thank you also

[jczic]

Thanks for your interest in this software, I hope you like it and that it displays well on your OS (animations etc) 😊

[happenpappen]

Is this resolved or does it need further testing? I could look after this this evening, yesterday has been quite busy 😁 .

[jczic]

Hello @happenpappen, yes it's ok thanks.
Have you been able to test the latest features?

[happenpappen]

Hello @happenpappen, yes it's ok thanks. Have you been able to test the latest features?

Yesterday evening i fetched the current version and tried it using a Seeed Studio XIAO ESP32C3 which worked very good. I tried to step through all major functions and did not encounter any errors. Do you have a specific feature in mind which needs testing?

[jczic]

Hi @happenpappen, that's great, thanks a lot 👍🏻
There are mostly new features like last Jama funcs, SD card, Ethernet connection and now I just updated a new feature to allow to retrieve the state of some configurations automatically at boot (autonomously in the chip)
:)
