Good morning Aldo,
Here it is what I have:
Error message:
/ Error: file: /Applications/Autodesk/maya2018/Maya.app/Contents/scripts/others/pluginWin.mel line 290: initializePlugin function failed (substancemaya) //
Faulty code bit:
global proc loadPluginCmd( string $path )
{
if(!`pluginInfo -q -loaded $path`)
{
catch(`loadPlugin $path`);
}
}
Faulty code line:
catch(`loadPlugin $path`);
But this MEL Script code for loading a plugin looks almost correct, but there are a couple of issues one might want to address:
Semicolon after the catch statement: In MEL, the catch statement doesn't require a semicolon if it directly precedes a command enclosed in backticks.
Error Handling: Although the catch statement captures errors, it's often good practice to handle the error or at least print a message indicating the plugin couldn't be loaded.
Here's a revised version of your script:
global proc loadPluginCmd(string $path)
{
// Check if the plugin is not loaded
if (!`pluginInfo -q -loaded $path`)
{
// Attempt to load the plugin and catch any errors
if (catch(`loadPlugin $path`))
{
// Print an error message if the plugin fails to load
warning("Failed to load plugin: " + $path);
}
}
}
Explanation:
- Error Handling: The if (catch(...)) structure captures any errors during plugin loading. If an error occurs, a warning message is printed.
- Consistent Formatting: The code is formatted to enhance readability, ensuring consistent indentation and structure.
This version should handle errors more gracefully and provide feedback if the plugin fails to load.
