Doc Bug: Model.options code example

MaschMaker · March 11, 2019, 7:10pm

example code has a bug. This is the current example:

# Output all options available.
options_manager = Sketchup.active_model.options
options_manager.keys.each { |options_provider|
  puts options_provider.name
  options_provider.each { |key, value|
    puts "> #{key} - #{value}"
  }
}

The 2nd line of code should not include .keys and should just be:

options_manager.each { |options_provider|

Issues with the API docs can also be reported on Github: GitHub - SketchUp/ruby-api-stubs: Auto-generated stubs for the SketchUp Ruby API. Useful for IDE intellisense and auto-complete.

### SketchUp Ruby API Issue ## [`Model # options()`][1] The code example d…oes not work because it is iterating an array of keyname strings. The **`String`** class does not have **`name()`** method, and the old Ruby 1.8 **`each()`** method has been removed. (The current example raises **`NoMethodError`** for both these.) **Here is a better working example:** ```ruby manager = Sketchup.active_model.options manager.keys.each {|provider| puts provider.to_s if manager[provider].size != 0 manager[provider].each {|key, value| puts "> #{key} - #{value}" } else puts "- (no options for this provider)" end puts } ``` If you wish not to use subscripting, then remove the chained call to **`.keys`**, viz: ```ruby manager = Sketchup.active_model.options manager.each {|provider| puts provider.name if provider.size != 0 provider.each {|key, value| puts "> #{key} - #{value}" } else puts "- (no options for this provider)" end puts } ``` ---------- And the "no options" clause is needed because there is actually one provider that has no options, and allows options to be added, (but SketchUp has a bug in handling them on the PC at least.)

### SketchUp Ruby API Issue - Documentation #### [`Sketchup::OptionsProvider#…each`](http://ruby.sketchup.com/Sketchup/OptionsProvider.html#each-instance_method) has broken code example. The example ... ```ruby model = Sketchup.active_model.options provider = model.options['UnitsOptions'] provider.each { |key, value| puts "#{key} = #{value}" } ``` ... results in the `NoMethodError` message ... ```Error: #<NoMethodError: undefined method `options' for #<Sketchup::OptionsManager:0x000279ae2fac90>>``` The easiest fix is to correct the first line to ... ```ruby model = Sketchup.active_model ``` ---- I believe that the intended example was meant to be ... ```ruby manager = Sketchup.active_model.options provider = manager['UnitsOptions'] provider.each { |key, value| puts "#{key} = #{value}" } ``` ... but someone didn't actually run the example. (tsk... tsk) ~
