Is there any way to export all the component event scripts? I would like to be able to see all event code in one place so I know what can be safely re-factored. I’m hoping to end up with text files, but I don’t mind writing an XML decoder or a python script to get there. Any pointers would be appre…

No, unfortunately there isn’t a method to extract just the component event handlers. You can select all of the components inside of the window and press Ctrl-C to copy. If you paste it in a text editor you can see the underlying XML. You might be able to write something to get the event handlers if …

Is there any way to get that XML for all windows at once? If I use any of the export options I get a ‘.proj’ file with XML CDATA. I presume it is just compressed, but what format does it use? Thanks.

The .proj file itself is XML, but all of the project resources are Base64-encoded binary. In Ignition 7.3+, the format is binary, which can be transcoded into XML via the XMLSerializer.

I’m getting “java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: str” when trying to use the XMLDeserialiser. It looks like that’s the Python ‘str’ class that it’s trying to find, which leads me to suspect some sort of problem with Jython, but this happens even within the designer environment so I’m not sure where t…

This has nothing to do with Python’s ‘str’. How are you creating the XMLDeserializer? Where is this code running? Are you compiling against the SDK? If so, are you in the Designer?

I’m currently making this using the module SDK and running in within the designer. Very basic test code to read from a manually extracted and base64-decoded chunk of binary data from my ‘.proj’ file: import com.inductiveautomation.ignition.common.xmlserialization.deserialization.XMLDeserializer; i…

Ok great. You shouldn’t instantiate an XMLDecoder directly like that. You need to ask the DesignerContext for one via DesignerContext.createDeserializer() Any chance the resources you want to investigate are in the project that the Designer has open right now? If so, your options are much more…

Thanks, that explains a lot. The project I’m working with is open in the designer, so I can probably simplify this by working with the Project object directly. I was originally going to write a standalone script to convert a .proj file into something human readable, but it looks like the binary ser…

It seems that ProjectResources have to be deserialised first: XMLSerializer xml = this.context.createSerializer(); for (ProjectResource resource : this.context.getProject().getResources()) { try { for (Object o : context.createDeserializer().deserialize(resource.getData(…

Ok, so once you get a Project object via Project.fromXML(), you can loop through it’s ProjectResources. Each of ProjectResource has a byte[] of data on it. This will be serialized data (binary or gzipped, base64’ed xml - the XMLDeserializer will auto-detect between these anyhow). If you want to in…
