xrced problem (fairly serious)

[Ryan_Krauss2]

I am using xrced v. 0.2.1-0 and I have a fairly serious problem that occurs semi-often. I am running Mac OSX 10.8 and wxPython 2.9.?.

My problem is that if I make several changes and then try and save the xrc file, the file is essentially empty. As you can see in the attached screenshot, I have a dialog that contains a flexgrid sizer with 10 controls (5 rows, 2 columns). But the saved xrc file contains only these 2 lines:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>

If I close xrced, I will lose everything and have to start over.

How do I diagnosis what is going on?

Thanks,

Ryan

If you run xrced from the command line do you see any tracebacks or other messages when the problem happens? (You could also check in the Console application if you run XRCed from its app bundle, but it can sometimes be hard to filter out the other noise there.)

Welcome to wxPython!

I do start it from the command line. This is all I see:
rkrauss>DT_TMM_gui[master*]$ xrced.py

(I don’t think it cares for my two finger scrolling, but it still seems to support that.)

This has happened to me again. It is quite annoying. I have a very simple menubar and I just added a second menu with one item. Now the xml is blank.

FYI, I deleted the items I had added, but the xml still saves as essentially blank.

FWIW, this is the script I use to launch xrced on OSX 10.8:

#!/usr/bin/env python
import sys, os

parent_dir = ‘/usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.3/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/wx-2.9.4-osx_cocoa/wx/tools/’

if parent_dir not in sys.path:
sys.path.append(parent_dir)

xrced_dir = os.path.join(parent_dir, ‘XRCed’)
fullpath = os.path.join(xrced_dir, ‘xrced.py’)
cmd = ‘python %s’ % fullpath

os.system(cmd)

(wxPython is installed via homebrew)

Ryan,
FWIW, this is the script I use to launch xrced on OSX 10.8:

···

#!/usr/bin/env python

what Python does this find? (try “which python”) to see. Or hardcode the full path the Python you want in the #! line.

parent_dir = ‘/usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.3/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/wx-2.9.4-osx_cocoa/wx/tools/’

if parent_dir not in sys.path:
sys.path.append(parent_dir)

OK, so you’ve added the homebrew wx to yoru python path – are you sure that it’s compatible with the python you are running (see above). I think, if you want to use homebrew for part of it, you probably want to use homebrew accross the board – i.e the homebrew python, probably in:

/usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.3/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin

or something like that. (there’s probably a link in usr/local/bin, too) - maybe that what is found by the shell, but I’d make sure.

Not sure this has anything to do with your problem, but worth making sure.

Good question Chris. I think I used homebrew for everything (97% certain). I think this is confirmation:

rkrauss>DT_TMM_gui[master*]$ which python
/usr/local/bin/python
rkrauss>DT_TMM_gui[master*]$ ls -alh /usr/local/bin/python

lrwxr-xr-x 1 rkrauss admin 33B Mar 23 2013 /usr/local/bin/python → …/Cellar/python/2.7.3/bin/python
