I finally upgraded my printers, had been ignoring them for a bit. I'll take a look.
Not in JS, but you could enrich the retrieved information with a call to octoprint.util.is_python_compatible:
plugins = webresponse.json()
for entry in plugins:
to_check = entry.get("compatibility", dict()).get("python", ">=2.7,<3")
entry["python_compat"] = octoprint.util.is_python_compatible(to_check, python_version="3.6")
return plugins
Do you want to take a look at this first before I merge it?
Gotta admit, I wish I could that as easily in the jekyll code used for serving the repository webpages, I'm currently simply doing string searches and it really makes me unhappy ^^
Making the compatibility information visible in the repository browser indeed makes sense (not only python, but also the OS and such), I'll get on it.
Hi all,
the plugins.json doesn't include the truth. E.g. in the screenshot above my DLP-Plugin is listed, because the plugin-repository information is not up to date. But the DLP-plugin works with python 3 and OP1.4.
IMHO: We need to improve the content of the plugins.json and not an additional plugin (don't get me wrong, the "Python3PluginCompatibilityCheck-Plugin" is helpful, but it is just a workaround)
Why not executing a shell-, nodejs-, python- or ruby-script to crawl the compatibility-information, before executing Jekyll.
script:
- python grapCompatibility.py
- bundle exec jekyll build
The script look into each single plugin-repository, parse the __init__.py file for compatibility-information (beside python, just add the other stuff, like OP-, OS-Version) and build the plugin.json file with that information.
Just add some default behaviour, if not all compatibility-information could be selected. Just grab the info from the plugin-markdown (but add a hint about the source of the information).
In the future the markdown compatibility-information should be deprecated.
Is this to complicated or did I missed something? (For 60request/h limit, we need to switch to auth-user, then we have 5000request/h) see https://developer.github.com/v3/#rate-limiting
What do you think?
@jneilliii Until this plugin is approved, updating seems to be just installing again from the posted URL. Am I correct?
I believe we are converging on the best possible solution. A short-term, very useful, plugin and a longer-term, probably enhanced, solution in the OctoPrint core.
Since I have one of my own plugins on the list, I'm motivated to get it off. The "oldest" one on my list is DisplayZ owned by none other than our fearless leader. I've looked at the plugin and I think the only change required is to add the compatibility string.
Yes, or in software update section of octoprint force a check for updates under the advanced options at the bottom.
Well, that would be here and here but it sounds like jneiliii's already done pretty much the same (minus the NodeJS).
@OllisGit, Why don't you fix that by submitting the correct information to the plugin repository? If you don't people will never find it in the Plugin Manager in the future anyway.
@foosel, I think it would be better to go ahead and get this merged and I'll investigate this option for a future version update. Need to figure out the best approach for supplying the Python version to check against, probably as part of the API call to the server side. That is of course, unless you decide to do something quick for the Plugin Manager and there is no need for this plugin at all.

Because so far the page is being built by Github Pages and I have no control over the runtime environment and no way to execute additional things or add plugins or anything, so I'd need to change the whole build process, probably into utilizing Github Actions. Not impossible, but also not something done within a day.
Roger, will take care of that tomorrow.
I can't do anything quick because I'd need to put out 1.4.1 for that and I cannot do that yet (seriously, my days are nuts at the moment, ever since this whole pandemic escalated, no idea what's happening, sooo many requests and stuff....)
Where's the source/template/whatever that builds it?
Literally the OctoPrint/plugins.octoprint.org repository. Built by https://pages.github.com/.
Having that build automatically every couple of hours and involve a crawler step with an access key to get around the API restrictions would probably be the way to go. Would need something like GitHub Actions though. I just played around with that for the first time and it's kinda nice.
Great. I'll dig into it a bit in the next few days.
my work fell in love with it (versus AWS CodeBuild), it's fast and does really nice parallel builds.
Almost, thanks for the pointer though, I was able to figure it out and I think it's ready to go with the advanced python version checking. New 0.1.2 version released and should be available in Software Update for anyone that wants to test and already has it installed.
plugins = webresponse.json() for entry in plugins:
to_check = entry.get("compatibility", dict()).get("python", ">=2.7,<3")
entry["python_compat"] = octoprint.util.version.is_python_compatible(to_check, python_version="3.6") return plugins```
Quick question though @foosel, should this be limited to OctoPrint 1.4.0 compatibility, assuming that function was added in that version? If so, I can update the repo PR or you're more than welcome to change that compatibility flag on merge, just let me know.
Looks like I added that method back in 1.3.11, so if that's set as the lower limit it should be fine. I'll set it accordingly on the PR.
Side note: Can't help but find it kinda ironic that the Python3 checker plugin isn't Python 3 compatible

Yeah, figured if you are already in Python 3 you know what's not compatible.
Basically the halting problem- if this code fails, it must be py3 
I read a couple of articles about dynamic generation with gh-pages.
Here are the links:
https://help.github.com/en/github/working-with-github-pages/setting-up-a-github-pages-site-with-jekyll and
https://developer.github.com/v3/repos/pages/#request-a-page-build
It looks like that you don't need gh-actions, you can continue using travis-ci.
- Just create a travis-ci scheduler (e.g. once a day)
- travis-script is executed
-- execute the plugin-repo-crawling
-- create json-file with compatible information (comp.json) - include comp.json in Jekyll-build
- commit comp.json result to gh-pages to restart the normal Jekyll-Build page generation
What do you think?
I'm not using travis-ci for the actual page build, it's all github pages Travis on the plugin repo is just for link checking and making sure PRs by plugin authors don't nuke the JSON validity of the feeds.

Looking good 
Do you have plans to post / host this list somewhere? It would be useful to be able to sort / search.
