How to obtain the path of V-Ray file assets through Ruby?

[burl]

Hi,

I'm new at Ruby language. Now that I have some locally existing files in the V-Ray File Path Editor in my .skp scene file, and I need to get these file paths through the Ruby scripts. I have read the online SketchUP Ruby API but cannot find the answer. Could anyone help me?

Thanks so much.

I tried these commands, and it works now. I'd be grateful if anyone could tell me better ways. Thanks.


scene = VRay::Context.active.scene
scene.each { |plugin| puts "name: #{plugin.name}, category: #{plugin.category}, ies_file: #{plugin[:ies_file]}, file: #{plugin[:file]}" }

You can checkout the documentation for the Plugin#each method. It yields 4 arguments, one of which is a flag letting you know if the parameter is a file path. Here is a snippet that will return an array of paths in a given context scene.

file_paths = VRay::Context.active.scene.each.map{ |plugin|
  plugin.each.select{ |_, _, _, is_file_path|
    is_file_path
  }.map { |_, value, _, _|
     value
  }
}.flatten.uniq.reject(&:empty?)​
​

Hope this is what you're after

Hi, thanks for your reply.

Yes, I have used the Plugin#each method to resolve it, just like you pointed out. Thank you so much.
