Short description of error
Running the IvyGen addon from the search menu does nothing.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Gif of issue

Setup:

  • Load the default file
  • Enable the IvyGen addon
  • Place the cursor on the side of the default cube
  • Select the cube

(Alternatively use this blend file)

Example of bug:

  • Press space to bring up the search menu
  • Type Ivy
  • Select IvyGen
  • Nothing happens

Work around (credit to JA12 on irc.freenode.net/blender for this):

  • Press Shift+A
  • Select curve
  • Select Add Ivy to Mesh
  • Ivy is generated

Event Timeline

Brendon Murphy (meta-androcto) lowered the priority of this task from 90 to Normal.

All menus invoke the generator with operator.updateIvy = True, I propose adding an invoke method to do same

def invoke(self, context, event):
    self.updateIvy = True
    return self.execute(context)

committed thanks @Peter Staples (batfinger)
closing as resolved

Thanks for the fix, I've confirmed it works both with the search and the Shift+A menu on 2.77 bac1279
