[jneiva08]

Hi

I'm trying to run check_kicad_mod.py but it don't work.

Its giving the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./check_kicad_mod.py", line 117, in <module>
    rule.check()
  File "/home/jneiva/workspace/eda/kicad-library-utils/pcb/rules/G1_7.py", line 17, in check
    if 'linux' in platform.platform().lower() and not checkLineEndings(self.module.filename):
  File "/home/jneiva/workspace/eda/kicad-library-utils/common/rulebase.py", line 75, in checkLineEndings
    LE1 = ord(chr(filecontentsraw[-2]))
TypeError: an integer is required

Have try checklib.py it don't works too.

Its giving the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./checklib.py", line 135, in <module>
    rule.check()
  File "/home/jneiva/workspace/eda/kicad-library-utils/schlib/rules/G1_7.py", line 19, in check
    if not checkLineEndings(self.component.lib_filename):
  File "/home/jneiva/workspace/eda/kicad-library-utils/common/rulebase.py", line 75, in checkLineEndings
    LE1 = ord(chr(filecontentsraw[-2]))
TypeError: an integer is required

My OS is Linux Mint xfce 19.1

Yes, just came across the same error with Debian Stretch. As workaround, I simply disabled the checks: LE1 = 42 #ord(chr(filecontentsraw[-2])) LE2 = 23 #ord(chr(filecontentsraw[-1]))

The you can at least run the other checks.

What python version are you using? We definetly require pyhton 3 and might even require at least 3.4.

Have alwats run the script by "./checklib.py" and it always worked but now gives the error mantioned earlier. but if i run like you say "python3 checklib.py" it don't gives any error.

Had the same problem. I have python 2.7 and 3 intstalled Running ./checklib.py on my desktop used python 2.7 I changed first line of checklib.py to:

#!/usr/bin/env python3

Python 3 is required. This is stated clearly above. Please use Python 3 to run the scripts and post here if and only if you still have problems. Thank you.

Evan the first line of the script was indeed wrong. Fix is in pull request #305

I misunderstood the comments above. Sorry.
