Installation unsuccessful: Path issue?

[bernard01]

Description After successful installation of the plugin, the platform "C:\Program Files\Python38\python.exe" is recognized when entered, but the configuration is subsequently lost.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to Tools|Options|Python|Python Platform
2. Click on 'New' and enter "C:\Program Files\Python38\python.exe"
3. Click OK and exit the Tools applet.
4. Next time I go to the same place, there is no platform

Expected behavior I expect hat I can somehow make a next step after installation. For example, I wanted to configure the LSP server which I have installed. Here, I do not know how to add the configuration because I don't know how to do it. I installed it with: pip install python-lsp-server

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows 7
• JDK Version 19.0.1
  • Netbeans Version: 18
  • Python Plugin Version: python-RELEASE180-1.2.nbm

@bernard01 you do not have to install anything if the installation process completed successfuly. From your logs i can see that the plugin installation didnt succeed as there is something wrong with the paths in your filesystem:

SEVERE [org.openide.util.RequestProcessor]: Error in RequestProcessor org.netbeans.modules.python.Installer$$Lambda$272/0x0000000800efec40
java.nio.file.InvalidPathException: Illegal char <:> at index 4: INFO: Could not find files for the given pattern(s).

After successfull installation your Tools->Python Platforms->Lsp Server should look like this:

if not Check the Auto Update LSP Server on startup checkbox and restart Netbeans

[bernard01]

In Tools|Options|Python All 3 tabs "Python Platform", "Python Package Repository", "LSP Server" empty.

However, in Tools|Plugins|Installed|Show details checked Python Version: 1.2 Source: python-RELEASE180-1.2.nbm
Plugin Description netbeansPython

So I uninstall it and re-start IDE.

Then I re-install.

The plugin still listed under "Downloaded" so I don't have to add it, just install from the list. Asks for confirmation (self-signed) Continue The NetBeans IDE installer has successfully installed the following plugins: Python I choose Restart IDE Now Finish. It's unpacking it.

In the log I get an error:

java.nio.file.InvalidPathException: Illegal char <:> at index 4: INFO: Could not find files for the given pattern(s).

I don't have the ":" character in any paths on my computer, except one ":" after the drive letter such as C: which is normal on a Windows computer.

Here is the log again: messages.log

Still in Options|Python all tabs empty. So I check Auto Update LSP Server on startup and re-start.

Still all tabs empty, so it appears the installation was unsuccessful.

I installed the latest plugin python-RELEASE190-1.4.nbm on NetBeans 19.

I am getting an error that looks the same:

SEVERE [org.openide.util.Exceptions] java.nio.file.InvalidPathException: Illegal char <:> at index 4: INFO: Could not find files for the given pattern(s). at java.base/sun.nio.fs.WindowsPathParser.normalize(WindowsPathParser.java:182) at java.base/sun.nio.fs.WindowsPathParser.parse(WindowsPathParser.java:153) at java.base/sun.nio.fs.WindowsPathParser.parse(WindowsPathParser.java:77) at java.base/sun.nio.fs.WindowsPath.parse(WindowsPath.java:92) at java.base/sun.nio.fs.WindowsFileSystem.getPath(WindowsFileSystem.java:229) at java.base/java.nio.file.Path.of(Path.java:147) at java.base/java.nio.file.Paths.get(Paths.java:69) [catch] at org.netbeans.modules.python.PythonUtility.lambda$getPythonExes$1(PythonUtility.java:205)

... messages.log

The tabs in the Python options are empty. No Python Platform, no Python Package Repository, no Lsp Server.

I don't know what to do.
