post processing gcode retraction

Posted (edited) · post processing gcode retraction
Hi,
I would like to use the firmware retraction of Klipper and generating a retraction tower with Cura with a post-processing script.
The issue is that there is no such already made script with firmware retraction (or custom command).
I tried to understand and adapt some cura scripts post processing gcode (I'm new to this).
I wrote a script but it doesn't work (the script and the parameters are shown in cura, but it don't do anything to the gcode generated by cura), so there should be some errors in the code.
Is there someone here who is knowledgeable about cura scripts ? Thanks. 
Here is the code below :

from ..Script import Script
from UM.Logger import Logger
from UM.Application import Application
import re  # To perform the search
from typing import List, Tuple

__version__ = '1.5.1'

def changement_Z(line: str) -> bool:
    """Check if current line is the start of a layer section.
    Args:
        line (str): Gcode line
    Returns:
        bool: True if the line is the start of a layer section
    """
    return "G0" in line and "Z" in line

class a_MYRETRACTTOWER(Script):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()

    def getSettingDataString(self):
        return """{

      • 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.
