theoretically solved runtime rebind when active controls present (Rz, eg. pedals) but bug with 1.1.0

Hi, welcome.

I theoretically solved runtime rebinding when active input controls are present eg. pedals or thrust lever produce an actuation leading to the PerformInteractiveRebinding() method completing early: see further below.

But 2 bugs:

when the active input control is ignored in favor of the proper candiate the user actuated, the path delivered with the control the user actuated is still that of the active input control, ie. the new Input System apparently already ignores the active input control after a fix like mentioned in ** Runtime rebinding still impossible with devices that have non-zero default values ** but when I actuate the input control I want to use, that candidates path is that of the ignored input control.
candidates having magnitude < 0 are listed as first candidates.

Code:

        private struct actionIdentifier
        {
            public InputAction action;
            public Text textOnButton;
        };

        private actionIdentifier aIdWaitingToGetCompleted;
        private Dictionary<string, float> alreadyActuatedControls;
        private int maxTries = 1500;        // 5 seconds at 300 Hz
        private int tries;

        IEnumerator rescindIgnoredKey()
        {
            yield return null;
            KeyPressListener.rescindIgnoreKey();
        }

        private void cancelControl(InputActionRebindingExtensions.RebindingOperation rO)
        {
            // restore the text (which is the "display string" of the InputControl)
            aIdWaitingToGetCompleted.textOnButton.text = aIdWaitingToGetCompleted.action.bindings[0].ToDisplayString(InputBinding.DisplayStringOptions.DontOmitDevice & InputBinding.DisplayStringOptions.DontUseShortDisplayNames);
            aIdWaitingToGetCompleted.action.Enable();
            // enable default functionality of cancel key again
            StartCoroutine(rescindIgnoredKey());
        }

        private void completeControl(InputActionRebindingExtensions.RebindingOperation rO)
        {
            // sanity check all candidates https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.1/api/UnityEngine.InputSystem.InputActionRebindingExtensions.RebindingOperation.html#UnityEngine_InputSystem_InputActionRebindingExtensions_RebindingOperation_candidates
            InputControlList<InputControl> candidates = rO.candidates;
            int candidateNumber = 0;
            foreach (InputControl candidate in candidates)
            {
                float candidateMagnitude = rO.magnitudes[candidateNumber];
                float initialMagnitude;
                if (alreadyActuatedControls.TryGetValue(candidate.path, out initialMagnitude))
                {
                    Debug.Log("candidate: " + candidate.path);
                    Debug.Log("his current magnitude: " + candidateMagnitude);
                    Debug.Log("his magnitude initially present: " + initialMagnitude);
                    // if the current magnitude is not significant (here: outside 10 %) different from the initial one, ignore this "actuation"
                    // note: if the InputControl initially has magnitude 1 (eg. the resting position of a users thrust lever), the user will move the thrust lever towards 0 for detection. It will always actuate when not 0 and thus become a candidate and if nothing else is actuated, eventually get chosen.
                    if (candidateMagnitude > .9f * initialMagnitude && candidateMagnitude < 1.1f * initialMagnitude)
                    {
                        candidateNumber++;

                if(candidateMagnitude < 0)
                {
                    Debug.Log("-1: " + candidate.path);
                    candidateNumber++;

“HuiJia USB GamePad” is a GameCube Controller adapter which has 2 ports and 1 is connected with a wired original GameCube controller. Here I too moved the Thrustmaster joysticks x-axis to the right.

FYI @VideoVillain , perhaps you can benefit from this.
FYI @rz_0lento , perhaps you can contribute your solution

I updated to Unity 2020.2.7f1 .

I noticed I apparently used Input System package version 1.0.2 .

I rerun the test:

Already connected are a Thrustmaster T.1600M Joystick having a thrust slider and a HuiJia 2 port GameCube Controller USB Adapter with 1 original GameCube Controller connected.

The test consists of moving the Joystick to the right (= increasing x-axis values) unless I moved the thrust slider where noted.

above: moved Joystick.

Note: default Joystick paths have an /x and /y at the end. I poll the InputAction in the game code already after rebinding. As the /x is missing above I guess this is the source of the Exception.

Note: the last behaviour is repeatable: after initially detecting the Joystick x-axis as the thrust slider, if I use the thrust slider during rebinding and the Joystick x-axis during the next rebinding, the Joystick x-axis is detected as /stick.

@Rene-Damm do you have this on your radar? I tried to look into the InputSystem sources on GitHub but felt overwhelmed by the projects files, can you give me a pointer where I can start looking to try fix above issue / contribute a solution?
