Qgis import error: metadata file is missing

[andyzll]

Hi, I tried to use the ad_map_access module in qgiz 3.16.3 but I get an import error that the metadata file is missing. I set the python-paths according to https://ad-map-access.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ad_map_access_qgis/ad_map_access_qgis/#how-to-use-the-tool and included the QGIS_PLUGINPATH in Qgizs (Settings-Options-System-Enviroment).

In the plug-in manager the module appears and is coloured in red "Extension is defect - Meta data is missing"

Is there an issue in the implementation or did I just miss something?

Thanks a lot!

Hmm, did you try to just take the pre-built package from here: https://github.com/carla-simulator/map/releases/tag/v2.4.3

I used those with 3.16 and now on ubunutu 20.04 even with 3.18.

When I look into your error above, one possible issue could be for sure that the pluginpath isn't set correctly, it's listing icons.... strange. When I look into the docu here (QGIS_PLUGINPATH=install/ad_map_access_qgis/share/qgis/python/plugins/ad_map_access_qgis) I believe the path is too long indeed and qgis is looking at the subfolder "icons" and has an error. The correct path should be without the extension: QGIS_PLUGINPATH=install/ad_map_access_qgis/share/qgis/python/plugins

Can you try this, please?

I've created a PR to fix the docu here. By the way: In the BUILDING section is was mentioned correctly https://ad-map-access.readthedocs.io/en/latest/BUILDING/

  map$> export QGIS_PLUGINPATH=<path/to/>map/install/ad_map_access_qgis/share/qgis/python/plugins

Hi Bernd, adapting the paths helped qgis to find the package, but displayed me an compatibility issue. Probably my version was outdated. (This Extension is not compatible with this qgis version - Extension for QGIS 2.0-2.99)

Downloading the pre-built package for ubuntu-18.04 solved my problem. Thanks a lot
