No longer works with KiCAD 8 netlists

[stonedDiscord]

Up until KiCAD 7.0.10 it works fine. With KiCAD 8.0.0 it no longer does. I can't find exactly what changed to make it fail.

Example netlist

[stonedDiscord]

pretty much the same circuit in KiCAD 7

netlistest7.net.txt

[stonedDiscord]

New seem to be: components/comp/fields components/comp/description

that might actually be it

[stonedDiscord]

it is caused by components/comp/description i think i will come up with a PR

I'm having the same problem with KiCAD 8. It would be nice to have release containing this fix.
