Draft type.xml not working over network?

im_thatoneguy · June 13, 2012, 3:41am

I’m trying to import Draft from:
r"\sfs-file\repository5\Draft\Windows\64bit"

and I’m getting this error when I try to annotate:

RuntimeError: Magick: UnableToOpenConfigureFile `type.xml' @ warning/configure.c/GetConfigureOptions/589

Looks like the bug isn’t entirely squashed yet.

Nope. I moved it to C:\Program Files\ which didn’t help either.

I followed the advice from the last time this broke:
viewtopic.php?f=127&t=6886&p=27772&hilit=type.xml#p27773

mkdir %USERPROFILE% .magick fixed it… for now. But I’m not keen on doing that to every computer if it can be avoided.

How are you running Draft? For example, is it being invoked by a Deadline Draft event script, or are you running it on the command line, or something else?

I’m running it from IDLE in a Python Shell.

How do you import Draft into IDLE? (How do you tell it about the location of Draft.pyd?)

im_thatoneguy · June 13, 2012, 9:38pm

Ummmm… tricky to explain…

Package:

batchDraft_init_.py:

[code]
class DraftActionPlugin:
stuff…

import(MovAction.py, globals(), locals())[/code]

batchDraft\Plugins\MovAction.py:

[code]from batchDraft import DraftActionPlugin
class MovAction ( DraftActionPlugin) ->

def execute():
sys.path.append(r"\sfs-file\repository5\Draft\Windows\64bit")
import Draft[/code][/code]

Might want to ask Justin. He can show you the full code path.

But essentially:

Package\Class\Imported SubClass\Method\Import Draft

If I just run this in idle it breaks.

import sys;sys.path.append(r"\\sfs-file\repository5\Draft\Windows\64bit") import Draft annotationInfo = Draft.AnnotationInfo() annotation = Draft.Image.CreateAnnotation( "bob", annotationInfo )
EDIT: Stripped down to the bare crash repro.

Alright, good! I was going to suggest setting MAGICK_CONFIGURE_PATH:[code]import sys
import os

os.environ[‘MAGICK_CONFIGURE_PATH’]=r"\sfs-file\repository5\Draft\Windows\64bit"
sys.path.append( r"\sfs-file\repository5\Draft\Windows\64bit" )

import Draft

annotationInfo = Draft.AnnotationInfo()
i = Draft.Image.CreateAnnotation( ‘hi’, annotationInfo )[/code]

im_thatoneguy · June 13, 2012, 9:55pm

This works! Thanks.

im_thatoneguy · June 14, 2012, 2:07am

Ok this line is now calling up a color.xml:

annotation = Draft.Image.CreateAnnotation( slateAnnotations[i][0] + ": ", lAnnotationInfo )

im_thatoneguy · June 14, 2012, 2:15am

Figured it out. This is a no go:

lAnnotationInfo.Color = Draft.ColorRGBA(0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0)

This works:

lAnnotationInfo.Color = Draft.ColorRGBA(0.01, 0.01, 0.01, 1.0)

That error is due to the issue reported here: http://forums.thinkboxsoftware.com/viewtopic.php?f=126&t=7576&p=31306&hilit=color.xml#p31306
It should be fixed in the next build. For now you can work around by copying colors.xml as described in that topic, or by avoiding pure black.
