Load definition results in bugsplat if skp file was created in a newer version of SU

Sketchup.open_file filepath
will gracefully give an error message if the file was created in a newer version of SketchUp

But
Sketchup.active_model.definitions.load filepath
will result in a bugsplat in the same situation.

Is there any way to test for the version of an skp file before load?

Already answered in the official bug tracker at GitHub.

… basically Greg’s edition is smallest and most concise … 4th comment

And I explore what happened in older SketchUp versions in the 6th comment.

bug Ruby API SketchUp logged fixed-SU2019.0

When trying to load a model created in a newer version of SketchUp using the Rub…y API, SketchUp crashes with a bugsplat. I would expect an IOError to be thrown. Tested in SketchUp 2018, 2017 and 2016. Bugsplats have been submitted. ```ruby # First save a file from a newer version, then open an older version, run this code and locate the file. Sketchup.active_model.definitions.load(UI.openpanel) ``` This is a quite severe issue for me as an extension developer as there is no way with the Ruby API to detect what version an external file is created in. For that some standalone executable checking the file would be needed.
