extension modification from 3.2 to 3.4

[Tmirante 1]

good morning. 

i did an important extension for my prusa i3 printer in cura to have a complete set of commands to tune bed level. after upgrading from 3.2 to 3.3 and 3.4 the extension not works. i was able to identify the changings causing the error. 

def _getPrinterOutputDevices(self) -> List[PrinterOutputDevice]:
    return [printer_output_device for printer_output_device in Application.getInstance().getOutputDeviceManager().getOutputDevices() if isinstance(printer_output_device, PrinterOutputDevice)]

in def on old 3.2 cura there was not the  -> List[PrinterOutputDevice]. if i insert it the extension is not loaded at all , if i delete  the extension is loaded. 

what is the meaning ? is it required about you?

Without the rest of the code or an understanding of what your plugin does, there is no way we can tell you if that code is required.

code is here , it always the same development going on

I have too much going on to go hunt for your code in other topics, sorry.

 

Please have a look at cura.log in your configuration folder. It will tell you if there's a (Pyhton-)error in your code. The file is probably fairly large. You can delete it and Cura will create a new one. Then start Cura and the log will tell you what is going wrong.

 

Specifically the bit "   -> List[PrinterOutputDevice]  " is called "type hinting"; it tells Python what sort of data to expect. It is optional (but recommended). It could be that Python is having an issue understanding what "PrinterOutputDevice" is; are you importing it?

from cura.PrinterOutputDevice import PrinterOutputDevice

yes of course is standard in pluging import statements i have 

from cura.PrinterOutputDevice import PrinterOutputDevice

 the log says that :
