Hmmmm, now str() is a call I would never expect to fail, and if it does then I'd consider that a bug. We can expect it will never fail, and not bother with a valid = True.

PS: I feel like I might've opened a can of worms, but running bs['inputTarget'] causes an API failure when it tries to get 'targetBindMatrix'. I might create a separate issue on it so we keep on topic here.

This is the reason why I added a try/except. running the following causes an API failure:

>>> _ = cmds.file(new=1, f=1)
>>> sphere_a = cmds.polySphere(ch=False)[0]
>>> sphere_b = cmds.polySphere(ch=False)[0]
>>> bs = cmds.blendShape(sphere_a, sphere_b)[0]
>>> bs = cmdx.ls(bs)[0]
>>> bs["inputTarget"].read()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "D:\repos\cmdx\cmdx.py", line 4044, in read

  File "D:\repos\cmdx\cmdx.py", line 5076, in _plug_to_python
    #

    )

    )
  File "D:\repos\cmdx\cmdx.py", line 5119, in _plug_to_python
    # E.g. transform["worldMatrix"][0]
RuntimeError: (kFailure): Unexpected Internal Failure

Might be an edge case, but that was the reason why I added tat in.

I did some digging and it could be because the attribute which it fails on (blendshape1.inputTarget[0].inputTargetGroup[0].targetBindMatrix) has its value being cached. It is just a theory at this point though, I haven't properly diagnosed this.

# Isolated API fail:
>>> bs['inputTarget'][0][0][0][4]._mplug.asMObject()             
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
RuntimeError: (kFailure): Unexpected Internal Failure

>>> bs['inputTarget'][0][0][0][4]._mplug.isCaching
True

We could remove the try/except and deal with this as a separate issue though, which is probably a cleaner strategy.

valid = True
except:
valid = False

cls_name = '{}.{}'.format(__name__, self.__class__.__name__)
if self._mplug.attribute().apiType() == om.MFn.kCompoundAttribute:
return '{}("{}", "{}")'.format(cls_name,
self.node().name(),
self.name())
read_val = self.read()
if isinstance(read_val, string_types):
# Add surrounding single quotes, indicating the value is a string
read_val = '"{}"'.format(read_val)

return '{}("{}", "{}") == {}'.format(cls_name,
self.node().name(),
self.name(),
read_val)
msg = '{}("{}", "{}")'.format(cls_name,
self.node().name(),
self.name())
if valid:
try:
if self.typeClass() == String:

Since we've established that typeClass isn't relevant for all types, like kByte, how about we use Maya's apiType here instead? Especially since we're only dealing with a single type.

It would save on the use of try/except too.

Did we also have a test for this case?

Yeah, I thought of doing it that way as well, but thought it looked less elegant. But sounds good, let me implement that.

We do not, let me add it in.

On another note:

I think we can just put whatever comes out of str(plug) after the ==. It can be a try/except; if it fails, we do not include the ==.

If this is not the case anymore, and we never expect str to fail, would it be ok to expect that it can return None? In the case of a Compound attribute for instance? That way I can add that check to include == or not.

This might be getting a little too much into read() functionality for this PR but, perhaps more useful, instead have it return "Compound" or something of the sort? e.g.:

>>> myNode["myCompoundAttr"]
cmdx.Plug("myNode", myCompoundAttr") == Compound

A third option, albeit more complex, could be to have it return a dictionary, with the child attribute names as keys for instance.

>>> myNode["myCompoundAttr"]
cmdx.Plug("myNode", myCompoundAttr") == {"childA": 1.0, "childB": "Some string value.", "childC": None}

Sure, let's try it.

I mean, this would be supremely useful. But I'm uncertain how stable we can make this.. Maybe let's start small, and add this later on?

Scratch that. We can't return something that isn't a string type from __str__. That raises a TypeError, silly me.

I think I was able to think of a decent solution within __repr__, so we're not messing with __str__ in this PR. pushing a commit now which includes this and the above

# Add surrounding quotes, indicating it is a string
read_result = '"{}"'.format(read_result)
except TypeError:
pass
msg += ' == {}'.format(read_result)

Had to add this in order to avoid cases where it shows a valid value, but of an empty string:

>>> myNode["myStr"]
cmdx.Plug("myNode", "myStr") ==
