SyntaxError loading GIS4WRF

[wcarthur]

Describe the bug GIS4WRF plugin fails to load due to error in the classFactory() method. This is linked to a SyntaxError in gis4wrf/plugin/ui/helpers.py (line 280) - see below for output when loading the plugin.

SyntaxError: invalid syntax Traceback (most recent call last): File "/apps/qgis/3.4.5-py3.5/share/qgis/python/qgis/utils.py", line 335, in startPlugin plugins[packageName] = package.classFactory(iface) File "/home/547/cxa547/.local/share/QGIS/QGIS3/profiles/default/python/plugins/gis4wrf/init.py", line 22, in classFactory bootstrap_with_ui(iface) File "/home/547/cxa547/.local/share/QGIS/QGIS3/profiles/default/python/plugins/gis4wrf/init.py", line 31, in bootstrap_with_ui from gis4wrf.plugin.ui.helpers import WaitDialog File "/apps/qgis/3.4.5-py3.5/share/qgis/python/qgis/utils.py", line 672, in _import mod = _builtin_import(name, globals, locals, fromlist, level) File "/home/547/cxa547/.local/share/QGIS/QGIS3/profiles/default/python/plugins/gis4wrf/plugin/ui/helpers.py", line 280 f'{e}.

Thanks for reporting this issue but I am afraid we do not explicitly support your platform. For a list of supported platforms see: https://gis4wrf.github.io/installation/#supported-platforms. The error you see happens because you are using a version of Python which does not support formatted string literals (< 3.6 ) which we make use in our code and decided against adding support for Python 3.5 for these reasons. You may still be able to get GIS4WRF running on your system if you upgrade to Python 3.6.

Not a problem - I'll follow up with our admins. Thought it might be as simple as that...
