xsect folder "XSection: Active Technology" not working in Windows (works on OSX)

[lukasc-ubc]

Hi @klayoutmatthias

We've used xsection for several years, but it seems like a recent version of KLayout has broken our older xsection scripts.

I updated it the latest salt package, and also I put the .xs file in the technology sub-folder "xsect", hoping the XSection: Active Technology menu item will work:

On Windows, it does not find the .xs file.

Maybe it is something to do with the / and \ in the path?

But, running the script manually, and finding the file,

generates a cross section.

Now the same configuration on Mac OSX, v0.29.1 -- it works correctly. Presumably also works on Linux.

thank you
Lukas

Sigh ... thanks for reporting this problem.

The reason is in Ruby's Dir.glob: https://ruby-doc.org/core-2.5.1/Dir.html#method-c-glob

:(

I will update the code and replace all backslash by "/".

Sorry for the inconvenience.

I have released version 1.9 which should fix this problem.

I tried with the "sky130_el" package which uses technology-specific XS scripts.

Thanks for fixing it. It is related to the issue #23

[klayoutmatthias]

I think we can close this topic then, right?

Thanks,

Matthias
