Automation Professionals' Integration Toolkit Module

pturmel · March 26, 2025, 12:31am

I will admit that my wallet really wanted me to deploy this stuff inside my $$ driver modules.... But the universal approach was just too clean an implementation to lock down. I did make an ICC presentation pitch for Tag Actors as an advanced track topic.

bmusson · March 26, 2025, 12:37am

Well I just donated, so I’m doing my part .

You’ve certainly got my gears turning lol.

pturmel · March 26, 2025, 12:40am

Now to cherry pick this into my v8.3 alpha....

nminchin · March 26, 2025, 12:41am

I got you, Phil:

pturmel · March 26, 2025, 12:42am

Awww!

bmusson · March 26, 2025, 12:48am

I petition that Phil should be given a unique forum title of “Tag Actor”.

pturmel · March 26, 2025, 12:50am

I'm not so sure I like that. What will newbies think? I already have a unique forum title....

PGriffith · March 26, 2025, 12:51am

Currently fighting the urge to make a custom Phil Turmel group with associated flair

pturmel · March 26, 2025, 12:51am

nminchin · March 26, 2025, 1:11am

No need to fight it!

Also, the bulk script action is a godsend for simplifying executing long-running tag value change scripts, especially when trying to explain how the original utilQueue library and its usage worked to people who come from simple HMI backgrounds explaining why you can't just reach out to databases and do other long-running tasks within them was bad enough

michael.flagler · March 26, 2025, 1:21am

Any goodies in there that haven't been mentioned in public yet? How polished is the alpha?

pturmel · March 26, 2025, 1:42am

Sorry. No can do.

michael.flagler · March 26, 2025, 2:53am

I figured. It would be neat/nice if a "pre-release" beta/alpha would be released to the Lounge for some of us regulars though, but I'm not hopeful that will happen.

nminchin · March 26, 2025, 6:47am

I think last I checked I raised 160 bug topics last time they released v8.0. I'm sure others raised a lot as well both via the forums and official support channels. Probably not looking for a repeat

pturmel · March 26, 2025, 9:20pm

~~Updated BETA.~~ Production Release. Fixes a bug in the module re-install life cycle that leaked everything. Also tweaked Tag Editor category text.

For Ignition v8.1: ~~v2.1.0.250852036~~

I've pummeled this pretty thoroughly today, so this will probable be declared a production release ~~soon~~.

pturmel · March 29, 2025, 6:46pm

New BETA. Alters the tags() function to not use the tags' own qualities for its function return quality. This enables other iterators to wrap tags() without using forceQuality(), which has the side effect of obliterating any nested non-good qualities. Adds the new qvAt() function which re-implements the square bracket operator to not discard nested qualities.

For Ignition v8.1: ~~v2.1.1.250881822~~

You can now supply prune the list of returned tag path/value pairs to exclude non-good quality with this combination:

where(
	tags({path.to.list.of.paths}),
	isGood(qvAt(it(), 1))
)

Hey @pturmel, I'm trying to use system.util.runInGateway except i'm getting an exception however I try to use it, even with your example in your doco:

logger = system.util.getLogger(system.util.getProjectName() + '.' + system.reflect.getModulePath())

@system.util.runInGateway
def gwLogInfof(*args):
    logger.infof(*args)
   
gwLogInfof('hello')

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unknown part '__main__' of function '__main__.gwLogInfof'

pturmel · April 1, 2025, 11:45am

Are you putting all of that in the scripting console?

Everything but the last line needs to be in a project library script. The last line needs to be

someScript.gwLogInfof('hello')

The decorator only works on functions in project library scripts. (That have been saved.)

nminchin · April 1, 2025, 12:24pm

Ah, that would be it then. Yes I was just trying to run a function defined in the script console

pturmel · April 1, 2025, 12:41pm

I was just re-reading the documentation, and this statement seems pretty clear:

It must be a top level function in a Project Library Script. Not in site packages, nor a method nor any kind of nested function.

Sorry to disappoint you.
