I use Class: Sketchup::Http::Request to make a request to my cloud. The request looks like this
req = Sketchup::Http::Request.new( Constants::SiteURL, Sketchup::Http::POST)
req.start do |req, response|
end
But when I call
req.cancel
Sketchup crashes and shows me the bug report form and then closes.
What can be the reason of such kind of behavior?
Check the official Issue Tracker on GitHub …
If you do not see an issue, please file a report with a reproducible code snippet.
My first thought is that your sample code is not using a persistent reference. Local references can go out of scope easily.
You might be interested in reading this issue …
Where can I get an information about scope?
For example I try to cancel the request in set_upload_progress_callback method to see if it works.
req.set_upload_progress_callback do |current, total|
req.cancel
end
But it crashes.
Is this a situation without persistent reference?
It makes no sense to put a cancel call inside a loop without some kind of conditional expression.
Basically the first time through the loop the request would get cancelled.
You are using a local reference, ie: req
Since I cannot see all of your code, I cannot say. Is the code within a method ?
A persistent reference is an instance variable (@req,) or a class/module variable (@@req.)
From any good Ruby programming book. There are free ones available for download. See …
Thanks Dan, my code is within a class method
def self.setCallbacks
@dialog.add_action_callback("Upload") { |action_context, value|
req = Sketchup::Http::Request.new( Constants::SiteURL, Sketchup::Http::POST)
req.set_upload_progress_callback do |current, total|
req.cancel
end
req.start do |req, response|
end
I think I have a req reference “alive” ?
Perhaps not. Local references inside methods go out of scope when the method returns (ends), and Ruby’s automatic garbage collection will destroy objects that are no longer referenced.
I am unsure if the callback’s block object will preserve the local req reference inside it.
So try something like …
def self.setCallbacks
@dialog.add_action_callback("Upload") { |action_context, value|
@req = Sketchup::Http::Request.new( Constants::SiteURL, Sketchup::Http::POST)
# load the file text into a reference to a String object
@req.body= @some_file_text
@req.set_upload_progress_callback do |current, total|
if @req.status == Sketchup::Http::STATUS_FAILED
puts "Upload Failed"
@req.cancel
elsif @req.status == Sketchup::Http::STATUS_CANCELED
puts "Upload Canceled"
else
puts total
if @req.status == Sketchup::Http::STATUS_SUCCESS
puts "Upload Successful"
end
end
end
@req.start
}
end
I’ve tried to make req an instance field @req.
I also can see the value of @req.status it gets 2.
But after @req.cancel it again crashes.
@req.set_upload_progress_callback do |current, total|
puts @req.status
@req.cancel
end
Anyway thank you very much for help.
Once again, you cannot have @req.cancel inside a progress callback block without a condition on it. It makes no sense.
Did you fill out the BugSplat! form and send it in ? Crash report number ?
It may be due to the fact that this is nested inside a web dialog callback block.
I do NOT get a crash with this code …
module CrashTest
extend self
def set_callbacks
@req = Sketchup::Http::Request.new( "http://localhost", Sketchup::Http::POST)
@req.body = "Some fake text."
@req.set_upload_progress_callback do |current, total|
puts "Canceling ..."
@req.cancel
end
@req.start do |request, response|
puts "Starting ..."
end
end
def go
set_callbacks()
end
end
… but then again I do not see the progress callback block having executed.
(Perhaps the fake text is too small?)
I know that it makes no sense but I think to solve the problem about the crash then add appropriate condition.I think it is not connected to the main problem.
Yes I have filled and sent it for several times, I also have mentioned an email address but I couldn’t find the report number(see the picture bellow)
I’ve moved the call of set_callbacks function out of the callback (immediately when I open the extension) but I could see the crash again.
I also examined that it crashes only during post requests, when the server also waits for the post request. In my case the controller action has [HttpPost] attribute, I use .Net so the main condition is there shouldn’t be any redirect I guess.
I also tried to post to this url. I know it also makes no sense, but in this situation I always get crash. please try this one to your end.
def set_callbacks
@req = Sketchup::Http::Request.new('https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/', Sketchup::Http::POST)
@req.body = "Some fake text."
@req.set_upload_progress_callback do |current, total|
puts "Canceling ..."
@req.cancel
puts "after cancel"
end
@req.start do |request, response|
puts "Starting ..."
puts response.status_code
end
end
About callback I have tried this code and could see the progress callback having executed
def set_callbacks
@req = Sketchup::Http::Request.new('http://localhost:1334/' + 'ClientDashboard/List', Sketchup::Http::GET)
@req.body = "Some fake text."
@req.set_upload_progress_callback do |current, total|
puts "Canceling ..."
@req.cancel
puts "after cancel"
end
@req.start do |request, response|
puts "Starting ..."
puts response.status_code
end
end
and in ruby console I see
Canceling ...
Starting ...
200
after cancel
As you can see here I use Sketchup::Http::GET with @req.body = "Some fake text."
I don’t know whether this is correct or not, but it says that prrogress callback is executed.
Can you provide a complete example that reproduce the crash? We could then hook it up to the debugger and see what is going on.
