Problem summary
When assigning a callable to a custom entry in the animation menu, it won't be executed when the user picks it from the menu.
This appears to be inconsistent with other menus, for example:
The following works with the 'Viewer' Menu: ( Add snippet to your menu.py and save it )
def test():
nuke.message( 'test' )
nuke.menu('Viewer').addCommand( 'test', test )
Yet the following does not work with the 'Animation' menu: ( Add snippet to your menu.py and save it )
def test():
nuke.message( 'test' )
nuke.menu('Animation').addCommand( 'test', test )
Customer reported version
Nuke10.5v7
Steps to reproduce
Test 1:
1) Add the following to your 'menu.py' file within your .nuke directory and save it:
def test():
nuke.message( 'test' )
nuke.menu('Animation').addCommand( 'test', test )
2) Launch Nuke
3) Go to an animation menu ( right click area within Curve Editor ) and chose 'test'.
Result 1: The message is not displayed within Nuke
Test 2:
1) Add the following to your 'menu.py' file within your .nuke directory and save it:
def test():
nuke.message( 'test' )
nuke.menu('Viewer').addCommand( 'test', test )
2) Launch Nuke
3) Go to an animation menu ( right click area within Curve Editor ) and chose 'test'.
Result 2: The message box is displayed within Nuke
Workaround
If you assign the new function as an instance wrapped as a string, it works as expected for the animation menu:
def test():
nuke.message( 'test' )
nuke.menu('Animation').addCommand( 'test', 'test()' )
