Expansion encode error

[DanH]

@d-healey thanks, before I go any further, just looking at the console readout, the percentage is jumping all over the place, up and down. It's not a steady incrementation in line with the actual progress of installation.... Is it meant to be?

[d.healey]

@danh The progress resets for each ch file I think

[DanH]

@d-healey that's what it looks like... hmmm... not quite what I was hoping for then! Is there not an overall progress thingy we can access do you know? If not maybe I'll just make a nice animation

[d.healey]

@danh

Is there not an overall progress thingy we can access do you know

Don't think so. If there's a way to access the number of ch files you could create your own.

I'd like this too, I'll take a look at the source when I have some time and see if I can implement it.

@d-healey Not getting any joy from 'expHandler.refreshExpansions();'

Are you using it successfully? Just tried in latest Develop

[d.healey]

@danh said in Expansion encode error:

expHandler.refreshExpansions();

Take a look at the docs I linked to before. You don't need to call that function, it is called automatically. But I haven't noticed any issues. Does it not work for you in HISE or just in the compiled binary?

This step is only necessary when you implement a manual installation routine, but it will be called automatically at these events:
User installs an expansion from a package with Expansionhandler.installExpansionFromPackage()

I've implemented it now - https://github.com/davidhealey/HISE/commit/ec63c0efe31e742937a95f046c017cab03ead552

The obj now has a property called TotalProgress this is updated at the start of each ch file being extracted, that means it doesn't show a constant progress from 0 - 1 but will jump. So if you have two ch files for example and their total size is 100MB but one file is 20MB and the other is 80MB, you'll see three progress points, one at 0.0, one at 0.2 and one at 0.8 - I don't think you see one at 1.0 but you can add this yourself by checking obj.status. In between those progress points you won't see any additional output so you'll need to use the standard obj.Progress to give feedback to the user.

I can't make a pull request yet because the latest develop branch has some workflow stuff in it that is preventing me pushing to github, I'll need to look into it to figure out what I have to do.

[DanH]

@d-healey Oh well done :)

So re refreshexpansions, I was being stupid - it does work, but I was expecting my combo box (expansion selector) to update with the new expansion - which obviously it doesn't. The preset browser shows the new expansions fine - but I'm not doing it that way.

I tried to put the code I use for the combo box list into the obj.Status callback. I don't get any errors but nor does the combo box update upon installation...

function installCallback(obj)
{

    if (obj.Progress)
    {
        pnlProgress.showControl(1);
        pnlProgress.startTimer(50);

    }
    if (obj.Status == 2 && isDefined(obj.Expansion))
    {
        // make sure the user presets are updated
        obj.Expansion.rebuildUserPresets();
        pnlProgress.stopTimer();

        Engine.showYesNoWindow("- INSTALL COMPLETE -",
                               "SELECT THE EXPANSION FROM THE EXPANSION BOX",
        function(ok)
        {
            if(ok)
                 expHandler.refreshExpansions();
                 pnlProgress.showControl(0);
// this is the code for the combo box outside of this callback
                 for(e in expHandler.getExpansionList())
    expansionNames.push(e.getProperties().Name);
    ExpansionSelector.set("items", expansionNames.join("\n"));
        });
    }
};

[DanH]

@d-healey also tried:

function(ok)
        {
            if(ok)
                 expHandler.refreshExpansions();
                 pnlProgress.showControl(0);

            reg exprfnames = expHandler.getExpansionList();     
                 
    //expansionNames.push(e.getProperties().Name);
    ExpansionSelector.set("items", exprfnames.join("\n"));
        });

If you have any ideas pls let me know! :)

[d.healey]

You have to clear out the combobox before you can re-add the items, this is a long standing quirk (although I thought it had been fixed).

ExpansionSelector.set("items", "");
ExpansionSelector.set("items", expansionNames.join("\n"));

Yep it has been fixed so that's probably not the issue.

I see you're pushing values to an array called expansionNames where is this array declared? Have you cleared the array before pushing more values to it?

Also your if statement and for loop are missing curly braces!

I'm in master so it quite possibly is....

@danh said in Expansion encode error:

Yes probably not fixed in master, but your lack of curly braces won't help :)

[DanH]

@d-healey thanks for your help on this :)

So it kinda worked, but it seems to be repeating the list rather than clearing it and starting again. More precisely: I have one expansion installed already, I install the second and the list comes out as:

Exp1
Exp2
Exp1

Which is weird. Are my braces right?!

function(ok)
        {
            if(ok)
            {
                 expHandler.refreshExpansions();
                 pnlProgress.showControl(0);
            }
                 //expHandler.setCurrentExpansion();
                 for(e in expHandler.getExpansionList())
            {
    expansionNames.push(e.getProperties().Name);
    ExpansionSelector.set("items", "");
    ExpansionSelector.set("items", expansionNames.join("\n"));
            }
        });

@danh

Do you want the loop inside the if statement?

[DanH]

@d-healey doesn't seem to make a difference where I put it... It always doubles up.

So I set the combo box names in the oninit, and then I'm doing it again in the expansion installer, but somehow it's doubling up despite ExpansionSelector.set("items", "");....

[d.healey]

@DanH Go look at my post from a couple of hours ago.

I see you're pushing values to an array called expansionNames... Have you cleared the array before pushing more values to it?

[DanH]

@d-healey oh I’m clearing the list only…. How does one clear an array? Just array == []?

[d.healey]

@danh said in Expansion encode error:

Just array == []?

Yes, or arrayName.clear()

[DanH]

@d-healey that did it, thanks!
