Now the legacy drill.map.type and drill.report.filename are specified in this
way.
The BaseOutput class now inherits from Optionable.
Suboptions are just Optionable classes.
Also: added traceback print when an error is reported and we are in debug mode.
They can be added from ~/.config/kiplot/plugins/
Also sorted the preflights in the YAML example and allower -v for
--help-list-outputs, needed to know from where are the plugins loaded.
The --help-outputs and --help are embedded in the README.md
To make it easier to read now options are enclosed in `` and the list of
outputs is sorted.
Note that variants_blacklist and variants_whitelist needs a fresh IBoM.
These options didn't work and crashed IBoM. It was reported as a result of
the tests included in this commit.
This make the code cleaner and better documented.
Now the usage is more clear, and also a little bit more strict.
I'm using a modified docopt because I preffer using args.option instead of
args['--option'], I also fixed a few flake8 issues in docopt.py.
The old mechanism is supported, but removed from examples.
Added a test case for the new mechanism.
Documented the reason for the complex properties.
Added docstrings to these particular cases (with None as default).
- Included properties
- The final dot is placed by the printing code (removed from messages)
- docstrings line lengths limited
- Better HPGL help
- Fixed ibom default output (.html.html)
- pdf_pcb_print to use PCB name when not output name
- Default PS scaling factor to 1 (not 2)
--help-list-outputs list supported outputs
--help-outputs list details for the supported outputs
--help-output OUTPUT shows the help for this particular output
Pro:
- Much easier to add new outputs and pre-flights
- All options are optional
- Much better configuration syntax check
- Access to data is simpler
Cons:
- Much more source code files
- I focused on one application, not multiple instances running on the same
process.
Implemented in a different way.
For all internal commands now we use Python bindings to fill the zones as
suggested by @arikrupnik in johnbeard/kiplot#11
For 'print_pcb' now we ask KiCad to do it before printing (needs v1.4.1)
- When a BoM operation fails now we show the output of the child process.
(Only enabled when using debug verbosity)
- The error levels 1 and 2 were overlapped with internal Python codes.
- Now we delay the PCB load until we really need it. Which could be never.
