makenetlist path finding issue

[sebas-bouw]

could not open the correct ltspice file, the extension is not "asc" i am a windows 10 user, the path dash is different than Linux \ /

[sebas-bouw]

found issue, if there is only "xx.asc" file name the make netlist does not work,
but if you run ltspice--> view--> spice Netlist, and then close the window, is does work.

but does not generate a new netlist on its own (ltspice XVII(x64)

While it is maybe not directly causing the issue, I have altered the filename to use os.path.abspath() which should make it more robust across different operating systems. In addition, I have moved from the os.system to subprocess.run in order to be more robust in the makeNetlist command.

Does the issue persist if you update your SLiCAP installation?

what is the easiest way to update the slicap installation

[Lenty]

Updating SLiCAP consists of two steps; updating the codebase you have locally and then re-running setup.py. This can be done in the following steps:

1. Either do:

• Change directory to your local SLiCAP_python repository location in the git command line and do git pull

Or download the zip from the master by:

• Going to https://github.com/Lenty/SLiCAP_python
• Pressing 'code'
• Clicking 'download zip' and extracting the zip.

2. In the updated SLiCAP_python directory run: python setup.py install --user or python setup.py install depending on whether you want to do a local installation of an installation for everyone.

If anything is unclear please do not hesistate to ask for clarification!
