New Post Processing Script not registering in Cura 3.5.0

Hi,

 

I'm running CURA 3.5.0 on a Windows 10 set-up

 

I have my own Post Processing Script which has run successfully under CURA 2.7, but I have recently migrated to 3.5.0

 

Placing the post processing script in either C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\cura\3.5\scripts or in D:\Program Files\Ultimaker Cura 3.5\plugins\PostProcessingPlugin\scripts and re loading CURA the new script does not appear in the script list on the "Extensions - Post Processing - Modify Gcode" screen (Add a Script" drop-down menu)

 

The CURA log shows the following error:

2018-10-17 16:00:50,686 - ERROR - [MainThread] UM.Logger.logException [84]: Exception: Exception occurred while loading post processing plugin: module 'PostProcessingPlugin.PostProcessingPlugin.MCT-ZTweak' has no attribute 'MCT-ZTweak'
2018-10-17 16:00:50,687 - ERROR - [MainThread] UM.Logger.logException [88]: Traceback (most recent call last):
2018-10-17 16:00:50,688 - ERROR - [MainThread] UM.Logger.logException [88]:   File "D:\Program Files\Ultimaker Cura 3.5\plugins\PostProcessingPlugin\PostProcessingPlugin.py", line 154, in loadScripts
2018-10-17 16:00:50,690 - ERROR - [MainThread] UM.Logger.logException [88]:     loaded_class = getattr(loaded_script, script_name)

To check that this is not an issue with my plugin, I made a copy of one of the bundled plugins (which I know works) and simply renamed it (and renamed the plugin class name). This also fails to load, throwing a similar error.

2018-10-17 16:00:50,655 - ERROR - [MainThread] UM.Logger.logException [84]: Exception: Exception occurred while loading post processing plugin: module 'PostProcessingPlugin.PostProcessingPlugin.ChangeAtZ - Copy' has no attribute 'ChangeAtZ - Copy'

2018-10-17 16:00:50,659 - ERROR - [MainThread] UM.Logger.logException [88]:     loaded_class = getattr(loaded_script, script_name)
2018-10-17 16:00:50,660 - ERROR - [MainThread] UM.Logger.logException [88]: AttributeError: module 'PostProcessingPlugin.PostProcessingPlugin.ChangeAtZ - Copy' has no attribute 'ChangeAtZ - Copy'

It looks (to my inexpert eye) like the post processing plugin loader may have a bug.

 

Am I doing anything incorrectly or is this a bug?

    Sadly, removing spaces and non-alphanumeric characters (and replacing with underscores) either in the script file name or the class name does not solve the problem ? Nor does ensuring that the script class name matches the script file name.

     

    Any other suggestions ?

    My apologies ahoeben,

     

    By removing non aplha numeric and spaces AND ensuring the file name is the same as the class name the script now correctly loads ?

     

    I had forgotten that the name I had assigned in the class (which is displayed in the drop down) was different from the class name, so I'd missed it in the drop down list - my bad ?

     

    Many thanks for your help.

      • S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
