persisting/new issues with mDNSCheck()

[ubidefeo]

hi @gepd
I'm still having issues on Mac with how detection of port and board is handled in mDNSCheck().

I've placed some debugging code in there to see where it halts, and it's clearly the regExp failing something.
Unluckily I'm clueless about regExp, so I don't know what fails there.
Sure thing is if I execute search(r"[\d{3}\.]{3}", PORT) with PORT='/dev/tty.usbserial-A900adQQ' (my USB Serial port) in a Python console I get nothing.

I temporarily fixed it by just commenting out the return False so I can at least move on and work, but I think a better solution needs to be found here.
The previous fix based on if worked, but maybe not for everyone.
In my opinion, searching for the presence of tty, cu., COM (case insensitive) followed by a number might fix it for all the cases I'm aware of.

thanks for your attention
u.

Sorry about that @ubidefeo

Can you try replacing the if for this line?

if(search(r"^\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}$", PORT) is not None and "esp" not in MCU.lower()):

(Remember to restart ST after the change)

It should not show the error this time

worked like a charm, mister :)
I'm gonna have to learn some regExp at some time

thank you

by the way, about having to restart ST all the time, isn't there some way to tell ST to just reload a plugin?
it's silly that if you're patching/testing you have to restart the whole shebang.
I haven't looked into plugin dev yet because my Python skills are quite poor :)

To avoid restart everytime I use this plugin: https://github.com/randy3k/PackageReloader
It's very useful!
