TypeError: 'PosixPath' object is not iterable

Hi,

I am new to FORD. Trying out the getting started example (https://forddocs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user_guide/getting_started.html) but am getting this error:

.../test$ ford my_project.md
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/sharpr/.local/bin/ford", line 5, in <module>
    from ford import run
  File "/home/sharpr/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/ford/__init__.py", line 41, in <module>
    import ford.output
  File "/home/sharpr/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/ford/output.py", line 43, in <module>
    loader=jinja2.FileSystemLoader(loc / "templates"),
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/jinja2/loaders.py", line 163, in __init__
    self.searchpath = list(searchpath)
TypeError: 'PosixPath' object is not iterable

I am calling this from a test folder containing my_project.md & src/hello.f90.

To install I used: sudo apt-get install python3-pip python-dev build-essential (from https://github.com/Fortran-FOSS-Programmers/ford/issues/167, python-pip didn't work so used the suggested python3-pip)

pip install ford (from https://forddocs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html#sec-installation)

I am running this on Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS.

Any ideas?

Hi @SharpRT, sorry you've been having problems! I think the issue is that we use something from Jinja 2.11 and you'll only have 2.10 installed. If you do pip install --upgrade Jinja2, then hopefully that will fix things. I'll make sure to bump our minimum required version so this doesn't happen to other people!

That did it, thanks!
