Issues with loading plugin

[goldbishop]

Alright, i have done as much as i can to figure this out but have come up dry.

In game return:

...gins\GoldbishopsPlugins\FrameworkReport\__init_ _.lua:1: Failed to import package "GoldbishopsPlugins.FrameworkReport.FrameworkReport Window".
...\Plugins\GoldbishopsPlugins\FrameworkReport\Mai n.lua:2: Failed to import package "GoldbishopsPlugins.FrameworkReport".
Unable to load "frameworkreport".

Whatever the problem is, it's not in Main, but in your ReportWindow class. When you get that kind of an error message it means basically...

It can't import the package (class) because there's something wrong with it - usually a typographical error as opposed to a logic error.

Tried reviewing this file more than a few hours and even rebuilt it several time just in case.

FrameworkReportWindow.lua

import "Turbine";
import "Turbine.UI";
import "Turbine.UI.Extensions";
import "Turbine.UI.Lotro";

FrameworkReportWindow = class( Turbine.UI.Extensions.SimpleWindow );

function FrameworkReportWindow:Constructor()
Turbine.UI.Extensions.Window.Constructor( self );

local edgePadding = 25;

self:SetSize( 400, 400 );
self:SetPosition( Turbine.UI.Display.GetWidth() - self:GetWidth() - edgePadding, Turbine.UI.Display.GetHeight() - self:GetHeight() - edgePadding * 1.5 );
self:SetBackColor( Turbine.UI.Color( .5, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0) );
self:SetText( "Framework Report Window" );
self:SetOpacity( 1.0 );
self:SetFadeSpeed( 1.0 );

self:MouseEnter = function( sender, args )
sender:SetOpacity( 1.0 );
end

self:MouseLeave = function( sender, args )
sender:SetOpacity( 0.0 );
end

self.listNamespace = Turbine.UI.ListBox();
self.listNamespace:SetParent( self );
self.listNamespace:SetPosition( 25, 5 );
self.listNamespace:SetSize( 100, 15 );
self.listNamespace:SetVisible( true );

self.listClass = Turbine.UI.ListBox();
self.listClass:SetParent( self );
self.listClass:SetPosition( 150, 5 );
self.listClass:SetSize( 100, 15 );
self.listClass:SetVisible( true );

self.scrollBar = Turbine.UI.Lotro.ScrollBar();
self.scrollBar:SetParent( self );
self.scrollBar:SetOrientation( Turbine.UI.Orientation.Vertical );
self.scrollBar:SetPosition( 375, 0 );
self.scrollBar:SetSize( 25, 400 );
self.scrollBar:SetVisible( true );

self.textBox = Turbine.UI.Lotro.TextBox();
self.textBox:SetParent( self );
self.textBox:SetMultiline( true );
self.textBox:SetReadOnly( true );
self.textBox:SetPosition( 25, 30 );
self.textBox:SetWidth( 350 );
self.textBox:SetVerticalScrollBar( self.scrollBar )
self.textBox:SetVisible( true );

self:Refresh();
end

function FrameworkReportWindow:Refresh()
self:PerformLayout();
end

function FrameworkReportWindow:PerformLayout()
self:Layout( { } );
end

function FrameworkReportWindow:Layout( args )
local width, height = self:GetSize();
end

have you tried changing:
Turbine.UI.Extensions.Window.Constructor( self );

to

Turbine.UI.Extension.SimpleWindow.Constructor(self );

?

FrameworkReportWindow.lua

Most of it looks alright, but the following has got me scratching my head (in yellow)


function FrameworkReportWindow:Refresh()
self:PerformLayout();
end

function FrameworkReportWindow:PerformLayout()
self:Layout( { } );
end

function FrameworkReportWindow:Layout( args )
local width, height = self:GetSize();
end



When you make functions inside a class, they're generally made like so:


function self:Refresh()
self:PerformLayout();
end

Yep....and even tried using the Core Window class and same result. Im sure im missing something but i just cant put my finger on it.

At first it was a semi-colon but still reported same error.

Problem so far seems to be the MouseEnter and MouseLeave functions being declared with a delta function inside the constructor. Pulled them out into the body of the file and worked just grand.


Side Note:
What is the name of the control that acts like a Drop-Down List box?

Think of those as stationary templates....till i get to the point of actually implementation.

Ah, try changing them to self.MouseEnter = function(sender,args) and self.MouseLeave = function(sender,args) ?

This is what I have in my plugin:

self.MouseEnter = function(sender, args)
self:SetBackColor(self.bgColor);
end

self.MouseLeave = function(sender, args)
self:SetBackColor(Turbine.UI.Color(0,0,0,0));
end

[goldbishop]

when doing that signature do i need to have it all on one line or can i split it up across several lines as long as the end tag is there?

I borrowed the code from their Plugis templates provided by the packages. For some reason it didnt like them in my plugin. Thinking im missing some Import or something.

[D.H1cks]

OK, I have to go back a step here and ask. Is there really a space between the r and t in your __init__.lua file? As in

FrameworkReport.FrameworkRepor tWindow

No there is not.

[D.H1cks]

LOL, ok. I had to make sure.

Here is what I did. I copied all your code into my own files here. I then tried to run it and it failed. I changed:
self:MouseEnter = function( sender, args )
sender:SetOpacity( 1.0 );
end

self:MouseLeave = function( sender, args )
sender:SetOpacity( 0.0 );
end

to



self.MouseEnter = function( sender, args )
sender:SetOpacity( 1.0 );
end

self.MouseLeave = function( sender, args )
sender:SetOpacity( 0.0 );
end


And the plugin works.

I think you will also have to do what DU mentioned earlier, but for now they are not a problem.

[goldbishop]

Think im going to handle the Events as such and code them outside the Constructor.

Not quite sure the short-circuited the whole process by putting it in the constructor, but ok.
