"SET CONFIRM NO; QUIT;" not working if changes ( wanted to be lost ) has been made.

Former Member
Former Member over 9 years ago

Hello dear EAGLE user, dear EAGLE Support team,

 

I'm setting up a fully automated document generation bash script for BoM, gerbers, centroid file, schematic printing, etc. Thus I'm using eagle in command line ( from a bash shell ) in the following way:

 

eagle -N -C<some_eagle_commands> <eagle.epf>

 

each such call to eagle should do whatever needed to do the job, then QUIT eagle without saving any possible changes and no user interaction is allowed. I mean that I don't want to have any popup or dialog requiring user intervention. Thus the <some_eagle_commands> generally ends by SET CONFIRM NO; QUIT;

 

My issue:

As indicated in the documentation, SET CONFIRM NO; should automatically answer NO to the dialog that would show otherwise if any changes has been made before executing the QUIT; command. However, the dialog still appears even when using SET CONFIRM NO; QUIT;.

 

An easy example to reproduce the issue is:

  • Open an eagle project containing both board and schematic.
  • Assuming the schematic has at least one assembly variant ( i.e. other that main "''" variant ), change the assembly variant.
  • then execute the SET CONFIRM NO; QUIT; command in the editor command window.
  • ISSUE: Eagle is showing a dialog asking you if you want to save or not the changes ( i.e. the fact that assembly variant has been changed ). I don't want this dialog since I used SET CONFIRM NO; but still ...

 

Is this a bug ? What can I do to avoid such dialog ?

 

If you need additional details, please ask me.

 

Best regards,

 

Jonathan.

    Under linux, try:

    echo "no" > eagle -N -C<some_eagle_commands> <eagle.epf>

    I believe that should have been a pipe character

     

        echo "n" | eagle -N -Cgerbv.sh <<EOF

        #!/bin/bash

       

    1. Run gerbv with a specific set of ordered files

        exec gerbv 

            pn-RevX-ExcellonDrill.exc

            pn-RevX-TopSilkScreen.gbr

            pn-RevX-TopMask.gbr

            pn-RevX-TopCopper.gbr

            pn-RevX-BotSilkScreen.gbr

            pn-RevX-BotPaste.gbr

            pn-RevX-BotMask.gbr

            pn-RevX-BotCopper.gbr

            pn-RevX-NonPTHoles.gbr

        EOF

        chmod u+x gerbv.sh

        ./gerbv.sh &  # Run gerber viewer

        zip -j pn-RevX.zip  \

            pn-RevX-ExcellonDrill.exc \

            pn-RevX-TopSilkScreen.gbr \

            pn-RevX-TopMask.gbr \

            pn-RevX-TopCopper.gbr \

            pn-RevX-BotSilkScreen.gbr \

            pn-RevX-BotPaste.gbr \

            pn-RevX-BotMask.gbr \

            pn-RevX-BotCopper.gbr \

            pn-RevX-NonPTHoles.gbr

        exit 0

     

    HTH,

        - Chuck

    I chose the directed input instead which is valid as well.

    Actually I was wrong. The command

         echo "no" > eagle -N -C<some_eagle_commands> <eagle.epf>

    do not solve the issue. Instead it creates a file with name "eagle" in the current directory with content "no -N -C<some_eagle_commands> <eagle.epf>" and the desired "eagle -N -C<some_eagle_commands> <eagle.epf>" command is not executed by the bash shell.

     

    Also, using the pipe symbol

         echo "no" | eagle -N -C<some_eagle_commands> <eagle.epf>

    doesn't seem the solve the popup/dialog issue.

     

    I'm running eagle on Mac OSX but it should not be different than in Linux. For info the command "eagle" is a symbolic link to the Eagle app  bin inside the Eagle package. Again I don't think this is a problem.

     

    Best regards,

     

    Jonathan.
