bug: checklib.py - Test does not start on component TC2050 #241

Closed dirk-bst closed 6 years ago

dirk-bst commented 6 years ago

Terminal: ./checklib.py -c TC2050 -vv test.lib => nothing is displayed

It works well with other components.

TC2050.zip

That's because the symbol is named ~TC2050 in that library. See line 6 of the library file, which reads:

DEF ~TC2050 J 0 40 Y Y 1 F N

Running ./checklib.py -c ~TC2050 -vv test.lib works just fine. I'm closing this because as far as I can tell there's no problem with the checking scripts.

How the file ended up this way, with the symbol name having a ~ in front of it but the documentation entry not having one, I don't know. If it was only edited in KiCad, and you can give reproducible instructions to make that happen, perhaps you could report a bug over at https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad so the KiCad developers can fix it.

Hi,

thank you very much. I have no explanation for ~. But it was an library import from eagle. Maybe that can the reason, that it was broken.

Best regards
