6 years ago Hmm.. maybe you have some bad files lying around and KiField is trying to insert into them. Could you make sure to remove any .csv and .xlsx files and try again?

6 years ago Hi. Sorry for the delay, . Your reply had vanished into my Spam folder for some reason.
I deleted the existing CSVs and XLS files, and ran the program again. The message was Cannot write to .csv (just too idle to fill in full title - see picture). Created an empty .csv file. Same message. Tried for xlsx file, same message. Created blank txt file, renamed extension to xlsx, same message again. Tried the -w option. Still get "cannot write to file message".
The only files in the Kifield folder are a blank csv, blank xlsx and the .sch file.

Hi. I am running win7 64 bit. Python is V3.6.4:d48eceb, Dec 19 2017 build. I have successfully installed KiField (I think). I have a Kicad schematic that I have put in C:\Kifield\ AGC_Preamp.sch for ease of access. I have made BOMs from this using the PCB package. All the devices have been back annotated from the PCB fabrication outputs BOM tab (so it should work). I run Kifield -x C:\Kifield\AGC_Preamp.sch -i C:\Kifield\AGC_Preamp.csv from the command prompt, then when I get the spelling and spacing right it runs, but exits with a "could not determine delimiter" error at csv.py line 202. If i then ask it to produce an xlsx file by changing the last extension to .xlsx, I get errors in excel.py line 121 where it looks for a ZIP file. The ultimate error is that zipfile.py line 1175 decides that the file is not a ZIP archive, which is true. The traceback for both runs is attached as a jpg. Have I not done something, or missed some steps out? Any help would be appreciated.
