Exception on python action plugin code - AttributeError: "NoneType" object has no attribute "group"

[jlillest]

Describe the bug When trying to run the plugin from the Tools->External Plugins->JLPCB Tools button, it gives the following error in a popup window:

I was unable to find this error in the issue tracker.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install KiCad 6 on Ubuntu 18.04
2. Open the PCB Editor of a project
3. Install JLPCB Plugin from Plugin and Content Manager
4. Click on Tools->External Plugins->JLPCB Tools
5. See error

Expected behavior I would expect the tool to open as described in the README

This most likely failes du to a very old wxwidgets version (wxWidgets 3.0.4) which probably is part of your OS which also quite old (current Ubuntu is 22.04 I think). Also the KiCAD version is not the latest stable version (6.0.7 is the latest at the moment). Maybe updateing your OS will update wxwidgets as well but I don't know for sure

Have you tried upgrading your OS in the meantime?
