Addin disabled (another black box)
« on: June 08, 2010, 06:13:48 pm »
As of today my add-ins do no longer work. The glorious dialog shows "Disabled". Wow! What an information!

I definitely did something. Not to the add-in dll directly but to my environment. I know I'm to blame. But what does the "Disabled" word help me? Can't I have a few more words. A trace? Something to debug? At least (!) a more enlightening message than "Disabled"?????

This is very, very annoying. I can see myself poking in the mist to find the cause. Soooo superfluous. Why can't we simply have good software? One not fighting against but working with us.

Have you seen the addon posted by Daniel last week at http://www.sparxsystems.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?num=1275378867

Maybe (if you are lucky) this will give you some more useful feedback.

As I posted to this thread....

Meanwhile I found the bug. However, "Disabled" still is not helpful at all. It should at least read "EA_Connect failed" which was the actual reason.

Wait till you come across "Error" (just one word).  I asked Sparx what it meant - they haven't told me yet...

I probably came across that already (I spent some time do develop and DEBUG my add-ins). Luckily most of the horror has been wiped out of my brain by shock...

Wheee! For debug puporses I just had to crash my add-in. Guess what the message is:

Error - EaControl::EA_Connect called exit ()

Spooky. If there would be some similar message instead of the Disabled...
