Re: [gedit-list] Creating menu in gedit plugin

[Jeffery To <jeffery to gmail com>]

Hi Matěj,

I believe your menu isn't showing up because insert_menu() isn't being called. In gedit 3, method names for the plugin interface start with "do_": do_activate() and do_deactivate(). (Also update_ui() is now do_update_state().)

If you haven't seen it yet, I suggest checking out the Python Plugin How To: https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Gedit/PythonPluginHowTo

HTH,
Jeff

Hi,

I have taken over the rope maintenance (it now resides on https://github.com/python-rope/) and so I am also trying to port at least the proof of concept which is gedit-rope (http://code.google.com/p/gedit-rope/) to Gnome 3 state.

My current state is at the gnome3 branch, but I cannot understand why in the world https://github.com/mcepl/gedit-rope/blob/gnome3/ropeplugin/ropeplugin.py doesn’t create ANY menu. Aside from this which should hopefully add a submenu to the TOols menu, I tried also

ROPE_UI = '''<ui>
   <menubar name="MenuBar">
       <menu name="RopeMenu" action="">            <placeholder name="RopeOps_1">
               <menu name="RopeProjectMenu" action="">                    <menuitem action="" />
                   <menuitem action="" />
               </menu>
               <menu name="RopeRefactorMenu" action="">                    <menuitem action="" />
               </menu>
           <separator />
           <menuitem action="" />
           </placeholder>
       </menu>
   </menubar>
</ui>'''

which should hopefully create a new highest-level menu, but neither of these created anything in gedit-3.8. There is no Error message on the stderr.

Any ideas, what I do wrong, please?

Thank you,

Matěj
