New Issue

System Information
Operating system: Darwin-19.0.0-x86_64-i386-64bit 64 Bits
Graphics card: Intel(R) Iris(TM) Graphics 6100 Intel Inc. 4.1 INTEL-14.0.69

Blender Version
Broken: version: 2.81 (sub 16), branch: master, commit date: 2019-11-12 13:28, hash: blender/blender@1252577580
Worked: 2.80

Short description of error
When rigify advanced generate options are set to "new" rig, the generate function will raise error.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
• Add a human metarig from the Add Menu
• In Armature panel, under "Rigify Buttons" panel click on "Advanced Options" to activate the options panel
• Set the generate option to "New" and insert a name in the "Rig Name" field
• Click on "Generate Rig" Button

Rigify will raise the error:
'Generation has thrown an exception: name 'obj' is not defined'

seems that merged patch by @pioverfour Rigify: store advanced options in armature instead of window manager fixes it for 2.82.
still there are some minor issues relative to naming and python ui.

the patch removes the '_rig' suffix from rig name, still this name is retained for the python ui script: Creating a rig with no name should roll back to default 'rig' as rig name and should logically output 'rig_ui.py'. If advanced option is set to "new" and a new name is set (for example 'new') the python ui script should named accordingly (new_ui) but will instead still append '_rig_ui' to the name. The python ui script and the rig should have consistent names.

If options is set to new and no name is set, generate will roll back to use 'rig' as name. if another rig is present in the scene a new 'rig.001' is created but the associated ui will be 'rig_ui.py.001' instead of 'rig.001_ui.py'

@angavrilov It seems that a 2.81a release is planned , should the fix be backported before then? @jesterking said “If we do we may wait some extra days to see if any other pressing issue is found”, but I don’t know if this qualifies as a pressing issue.

@icappiello You are right about the Python script’s name, for it to be registrable, it must end with .py. Perhaps it should just use the generated rig’s name, something like:

About the _rig_ui vs _ui issue, it doesn’t bother me too much, I feel _rig_ui is more descriptive.

i already wrote @BrendonMurphy and this could eventually be included in 2.81a

i don't agree. If you remove the _rig suffix from generated rig name for a reason, the same reason applies to python ui script. Please make tools consistent. Either you remove _rig from both or you leave it both places.

This is a simple editing mistake that happened when splitting a huge function into class methods:

Hi, little nitpick, meant just as a friendly note:

Those are not class methods but instance methods (refer 'self', not 'cls'). Python has also class methods, but they seem to not be used there.
I think a Python Linter would catch such errors, kind of like a compiler, note that 'obj' is unknown there. Maybe helpful to use as a part of the Blender Python workflow somehow
