Command line CuraEngine errors: [error] Trying to retrieve setting with no value given:

[hnnrs1092]

Hi,

I have succesfully compiled CuraEngine 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 on Linux (Ubuntu 22.04 LTS). Much appreciated.

However, using version 5.2 on command line with:

./CuraEngine slice -v -p -j fdmprinter.def.json -j fdmextruder.def.json -o HG.gcode -e0 -l Normal-0.stl

(HG.gcode output file and Normal-0.stl my model file) I get the following error:

[error] Trying to retrieve setting with no value given: roofing_monotonic

Both fdmprinter.def.json and extruder.def.json are for 5.2 downloaded from github. I use the base generic printer def files for testing.

Substituting -s roofing_monotonic=false (or true) allows the slicer engine to complete successfully. A default value is given in fdmprinter.def.json.

Similarly using 5.3.0 with printer and extruder def.json files for 5.3, I get the following errors, each corrected by substituting the appropriate variable as -s = in the slicing command line:

[error] Trying to retrieve setting with no value given: min_wall_line_width

[error] Trying to retrieve setting with no value given: roofing_layer_count

[error] Trying to retrieve setting with no value given: machine_disallowed_areas

[error] Trying to retrieve setting with no value given: roofing_monotonic

Am I missing something obvious here? There was a similar issue some time ago with 'adhesion_extruder_no' which was corrected (#1680).

CuraEngine 5.1 has no issues.

Thanking you in advance,

Henry
