Custom controls keep disappearing

Open OldCurmudgeon3DP opened this issue 4 years ago • 12 comments

This is the 3rd time I've set up a bunch of controls and they've mysteriously disappeared. They were there for over a week then vanished. Not just 1 or 2, but everything I'd set up.

With me happens when i do a plugin update, but only happens sometimes, its very strange

This is also happening to me! I can't figure out from the code where the controls should be saved -- is it possible they are only stored in the global custom controls field, and then octoprint has changed recently to stop saving the whole config?

Just happened again!!! I clicked edit on a button but it crashed. Couldn't open a window to edit. I forced several times and then all the buttons went away!!! 👎

I have a working teory. It is the way we turn off octoprint. We have to do shutdown octoprint, by the top right corner buton. So far, so good.

That may be a contributor, but I almost never turn mine off (always w/ shutdown) and usually only reboot for updates.

Same here, will try doing the graceful shutdown thing to see if it makes a difference.

Adding as new (empty) Plugin, then right-clicking for a new Control-Input there the appearing submenu isn't showing an offset-entry nor a width for it. So I added the whole thing manually - directly in Octoprints config.yaml (descriptions for Octoprint "controls" see the link below), and after restarting Octoprint the missing-inputs now appeared in the Plugins-GUI. => https://docs.octoprint.org/en/master/features/custom_controls.html For anyone who likes it, you may copy it here: Adjust_Z_Offset.txt => Adjust-Z-Offset

You guys can install my patched version of Custom Controls and this will stop deleting all of your custom controls. I submitted PR #34 but @Salandora has yet to merge the changes, as he was going to revamp how the plugin was loading the data. If you'd like to use my patched version you can install by copying/pasting the URL below in plugin manager > get more > ...from URL and clicking Install. If Salandora does ever merge the changes or make other updates to the plugin it will still notify you of a new version and you can decide to update then after verifying the issue is fixed or not.
