[WIP] new GUI for debug console

cag · Post by **cag** » Mon Jan 06, 2020 1:18 am

Built using OoDebugConsole1.5 as a starting point, this version is functionally the same, just with less typing.

The one exception is the 'alias' function in Options menu. Basic-debug.oxp provides a few, eg. 'PS' for player.ship, but I wanted more (and in lower case!).

As with Basic-debug.oxp, these are just properties of the console script. I've added polling, so if you set one to something dynamic (eg. 'pt' for player.ship.target), it will be up to date. I've also had success adding functions, as long as I remember to type '()' after the alias

At present there is no documentation. What started as just my own hacked version has grown over time so I thought others may find it useful. I copied the Debug menu from the Mac OS version and tossed in anything else I could find in oolite-debug-console.js.

features:

menus for debug, options, font and once connected, a menu for options in debugConfig.plist
pop-up menus for frames (includes a search function) & scroll bars
command history search via the Tab key (Shift-Tab to search the other way)
You can also remove a command from the history using the pop-up menu or Ctrl-Delete.
(I load new functions a lot, even entire scripts, and my history file grew quite large!
FYI: I also added a limit of 200 commands/2MB)

Python source: https://www.dropbox.com/s/junf73vkqibdn ... 2.zip?dl=0
- if not already present, will need to install the 'twisted' package

Windows exe: https://www.dropbox.com/s/x62r5gvp65yhe ... 2.exe?dl=0

Edited Jan. 7/20 @ 7:15 pm EST
- new versions uploaded to fix dialog window bug

requires:

developer release of Oolite (includes Basic-debug.oxp)
experience with OoDebugConsole1.5
Newbies should check out:

Good job, thanks.

As a very minor observation, after building the application, I get the Tk icon on the console window rather than the "correct" one. Any idea why this would be?

after building the application, I get the Tk icon on the console window rather than the "correct" one

I'm unable to reproduce on my rig (Windows 10 Pro - 1809) either by running the .exe or the script via pythonw.exe. I see the provided icon on the console, taskbar and dialog windows (Tk's "feather" icon is just ugly imho)

What's your OS? What do you mean by "building the application"? It should be sufficient, assuming you have Python installed, to run the script as is, as Python will check the script's folder for the icon.

Speed is not a factor. I always just run the script and it can handle a dozen or more log messages/frame easily. The .exe was provided for those who don't have Python installed.

If you are building an executable for another OS, getting it to cooperate with Tk can require some fiddling. I built the .exe using pyinstaller, which has a handy --icon= arg.

Post by **another_commander** » Wed Jan 08, 2020 6:43 am

I was using pyinstaller on Windows as well. When I talked about building the application I meant generating a stand-alone executable.

It turns out I had omitted adding the icon in the list of files that pyinstaller packs. Without the icon, it was defaulting to the Tk one. I have now managed to build a stand-alone console exe that runs correctly using this command line in the folder where the console source was copied to:

C:\OoDebugConsole2> pyinstaller --onefile --add-data="OoJSC.ico;." --windowed DebugConsole.py -i OoJSC.ico

Thanks again for the help.

Nice work, a_c!!!! Thanks a lot.

This looks really good, however I'm struggling to make it run on LinuxMint 21.3 here four years on.

Using the same pyenv as works for the 1.5 console, which is a python 2.7 venv with twisted etc, I get a connect followed by disconnect straight away.

Code: Select all

Listening on port 8563.

Use Up and Down arrows to scroll through the command history.
Type /quit to quit.
Waiting for connection...
Opened connection with Oolite version 1.91

Connection closed with no message at <built-in function asctime>.

This goes to standard error on the launching terminal:

I have the mscorefonts, so have Courier_New in four flavours.

Code: Select all

/usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/Courier_New_Bold.ttf

Code: Select all

$ sed -n 2770p DebugConsole.py
    self.updateFontBox(self.fontList.index(face))

grep -ri courier * in the OoliteDebugConsole2 directory returns blank.

The absence of 'Courier' in the .py file seems to happen because it's being picked from a plist file in the Debug OXP. E.g. in my instance, in Config/debugConfig.plist at line 165 there is

Code: Select all

	font-face							= "Courier";

I chopped that over to Courier_New, and still get:

The font in the window actually changes to a monospace font at that point too. It still drops the connection.

Been following you & Commander_X's post. I can't type that fast I keep having to start over.

I searched & the only occurance of "Courier" wrt debug console is in Oolite\AddOns\Basic-debug.oxp\Config\debugConfig.plist and it will be overwritten each time you install a new dev version of Oolite!

I've changed the line in debugConfig.plist to

Code: Select all

<------>font-face<-----><------><------><------><------><------><------>= "Courier_New";

(that's pasted from mcedit, which shows all the tabs.)

And now, when I launch Oolite, I get (using the python 2.7 venv that works for the 1.5 Debug)
From the new debug console:

Code: Select all

Opened connection with Oolite version 1.91

Connection closed with no message at <built-in function asctime>.

At that point, the text in the debug console has become monospace.

And stderr is the same as before AFAICT:

I was getting 'Palatino' is not in list! I've never heard of it and it's not a font on Windows! The only thing grep turned up was a comment in debugConfig.plist, so I bit the bullet and started from scratch. Fresh install of Oolite & debugConsole on a different drive and ... it went away. And that reminded me of another place font-face may be recorded:

C:\Oolite\oolite.app\GNUstep\Defaults\.GNUstepDefaults

If that's not it, I'll need more information. Place the following line before the 'for' loop in initClientSettings:

Code: Select all

print('\n'.join(['{}: {}'.format(key, value) for key, value in pairs.items() if key != 'default-macros']))

In addition to stderr output, send along your debugConfig.plist file and the latest DebugConsole.cfg & DebugConsole.log files (if they exist).

BTW, how comfortable are you w/ Python? Do you get git?

Barking up a similar tree I'll wager!

Couple of things that might also help here:

Code: Select all

find . -name \*.pyc | xargs rm

(that is, get rid of any cache that might interfere).

I have the mscorefonts, so have Courier_New in four flavours.
Code: Select all
$ find /usr/share/fonts | grep -i courier
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/Courier_New.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/Courier_New_Bold.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/Courier_New_Bold_Italic.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/Courier_New_Italic.ttf
[...]

I just remembered -- you might want to try

Code: Select all

fc-list | grep -i courier

and find the name you should use for "font-face" between the ":" characters coming after file name. (IIRC "Courier_New" should actually be used as "Courier New").
Regardless, replacing the string in the .plist file should've reported the new attempt ('Courier_New' in your case) so something's still amiss.
