Confirm dialog sometimes doesn't pop up.

[codingcatgirl]

As far as i can tell, this is how you should be able to reproduce it: Have a spool already selected and be connected to the printer, then connect to the octoprint interface. Select a print, klick Print → the dialogue will not pop up. Dis/reconnect from/to the printer, klick the print button again, and the confirm dialog will pop up. Weird?

I confirm, after update to 1.4.1 the confirmation pop-up window appeared for the first time, but now not anymore

[OllisGit]

Sorry,
I can not reproduce the issue. What I did:

• Open a fresh browser-tab
• Load the OP-Interface
• Printer is autoconnect and no spool is selected
• Select a spool
• Close browser tab
• Load the OP-Interface
• Select a file
• Click Print
• Popup appears

Just updated to 1.4.3 and stopped getting confirmations/popups on:
"Warn, if no spool is selected."
"Reminder for verifying the selected spool."

Anything I can do to help out?

[cicinovec]

After updating to 1.4.3 is the dialog back

EDIT: After 3 prints the dialog does not pop-up anymore. Restart of browser does not help. After my current print is finished, I try to reboot the server

[gn0m3r4l]

Same for me.
Plugin Version 1.4.3
Octoprint 1.6.1

Unfortunately, I cannot tell when this occurs first time.

[ales444]

Same for me.
Plugin Version 1.4.3
Octoprint 1.6.1

Stopped working recently, not sure exactly when.

I just got thisagain for the first time in days. Still no idea what caused it. Could be a printer that i aborted and then restartet, maybe?

[codingcatgirl]

Sorry to say that this is still happening.

I have an idea.....the current implementation reads the needed (calculated) filament length for each used tool from the metadata-file (.metadata.json) located in the upload folder.

The implementation expect that this data is available after selecting the file for printing.
But this length is calculated depending on the selected strategy in the OP-Settings (Settings / Features).

Because at the moment it it just an idea, but you can also test it, if you change to always and/or you can select the file, select an other file and come back to the file....in the meantime the length should be calculated and the popup should appear......a little bit complicated.

I think I will write a patch for that ;-). ....after I can confirm the idea!

[codingcatgirl]

Oh, yeah, that sounds like it could be it! Though it might be even simpler… the analysis could simply take a while and not be done yet and that's enough to trigger the bug? The solution would probably be to just assume all slots are used if the analysis isn't done yet

[MrRexRuthless]

I am having the same issue. I have to deselect a spool to get it to print.

[OllisGit]

Hi,
in latest release 1.5.0 the issue should be solved

Please try and give me a feedback.

Hi @OllisGit , I have tested with several prints and it works now properly. It always asks to confirm filament.
Only now I see text Required Filament unknown

[OllisGit]

Hi @cicinovec!

I added a FAQ-Page in the Wiki that explains the behaviour:
https://github.com/OllisGit/OctoPrint-SpoolManager/wiki/Frequently-asked-questions
Please take a look on that.

Jap, maybe I should change the text....but the text should be short...any idea?

[cicinovec]

Hi @OllisGit, thank you, now it works nicely.
The text itself is clear, I would not change it
