Not copyng module (improve error message)

[hildogjr]

I am using the last KiCad NIgthly on Ubuntu 16 and constantly getting the message: "More or less than 1 module selected. Please select exactly one module and run the script again.".

As far I know, I selected exactly the necessary one instance of the module. So, I don't known if it is a version compatibility error.

Could this message be improved to give me some tip about (each components are missing or were selected in excess).

I am also having the same error with the PCB examples.

From the screenshot I see that you selected all the modules in one sheet. You have to select only one module in the sheet.

The confusion comes from the KiCad nomenclatrue where module means footprint. So you have to select only one footprint in the sheet. Keep in mind that you have to place the corresponding footprints in other sheet to desired final position.

I'll have to adjust the UI language as it seems that KiCad asimilated the common industry terms.

I pick just one element/part/footprint, I am getting:

You opened a .kicad_pcb file which does not have a corresponding .sch file. If you open multiple_hierarchy.kicad_pcb it should work.

I'll have to handle this error in a sane way though

In my personal project appear to be some string space-split. Check the image:

Can you send me the .log file which should be in the project folder. I'll try to fix this today or tomorrow.

I found:

I found the source of the issue: adding logger.info('TEST1 -> {}'.format(filename)) #TODO I have a log:

04-10 12:27:31 replicate_layout.action_replicate_layout 122:Replicate layout plugin version: 11 started
04-10 12:27:31 replicate_layout.action_replicate_layout 153:Preparing replicator with CNN201 as a reference

04-10 12:27:31 replicate_layout.replicatelayout 98:TEST1 -> /home/h/Documents/UNICAMP/LabREI/Projeto painel/Boards/Analog

The input of extract_subsheets(filename)in class Replicatoris correct but yield file_path, subsheet_id, subsheet_name return:

04-10 12:33:29 replicate_layout.replicatelayout 157:TEST1 -> `/home/h/Documents/UNICAMP/LabREI/Projeto painel/Boards/Analog` `5C9F82F2` `Antialiasing & signal conditioning 0`.

Hence, space is allowed at folder path but not in file name until now.

[hildogjr]

In this function the "F1" line search return:

['$Sheet', 'S 3300 900  1350 900 ', 'U 5C9F82F2', 'F0 "Antialiasing & signal conditioning 0" 50', 'F1 "Analog conditioning - antialiasing.sch" 50', 'F2 "outA+" O R 4650 1000 50 ', 'F3 "outA-" O R 4650 1100 50 ', 'F4 "outB+" O R 4650 1200 50 ', 'F5 "outB-" O R 4650 1300 50 ', 'F6 "outC+" O R 4650 1400 50 ', 'F7 "outC-" O R 4650 1500 50 ', 'F8 "outD+" O R 4650 1600 50 ', 'F9 "outD-" O R 4650 1700 50 ', '']

An you break it at the space subsheet_path = line.split()[1].rstrip("\"").lstrip("\"").

I replace that line by subsheet_path = re.findall("\s\"(.*.sch)\"\s", line)[0] and now works good.

Thanks for spotting, reporting and fixing the bug. I should have fixed it a week ago when I dealt with the handling of space in schematics name (5-6 lines higher)
