Unable to activate 'phobos' in Blender

[leocorp96]

hello, I just cloned the master (0.7) but I am still facing this issue "phobos has no attributes defs" I'm working on Ubuntu 16.04, Blender 2.76b. Any help would be appreciated.

When blender opens, on first click to activate 'phobos', this is the error that pops in my console:

And then, when I try to re-activate a second time, I get this:

Hi Leocorp, the issue you are experiencing is related to the faulty YAML configuration. This was fixed with 97dfd2427. In order to update this, please pull the latest master version. Then delete your installconfig.txt and yamlpath.conf from the phobos directory. (If you want to be really thorough also delete the phobos folder in your ~/.config/blender/2.76/scripts/addons). This will reset your installation. Afterwards run the new python installation file from console and enter the required data: ./install_phobos.py

Retry starting Blender and activating Phobos. Please give some feedback, whether this did work or not. Best wishes

Hello BiYonic, I just did everything you suggested (even deleted my phobos folder) and now I can't even get it to install. This is what I get when I try running "python3 install_phobos.py"

python3 install_phobos.py install_phobos.py:101: SyntaxWarning: name 'phobospath' is assigned to before global declaration global phobospath Enter your Blender version (e.g. "2.78") 2.76 What is your Python 3 command?

Any ideas why ??

Hello Leocorp, in which folder did you execute the install script? It appears to me, that the script tried to copy from the addons folder (which is wrong). The FileNotFoundError is only caused by missing source data... I just pushed another update, fixing the error you had previously (with the sensor definitions). It was caused by a silent bug, which I could not see until removing Blender and Phobos and reinstalling anew. By the way, I tested everything with Blender 2.76 in Ubuntu. So it should work now as expected. However, there is still a bug we now of, when disabling Phobos and trying to reenable it, the program fails. This can be easily avoided by removing the Phobos folder from addons, restarting Blender, installing phobos via script and F8 in Blender to update. Then you should be able to activate Phobos again.

[leocorp96]

I am running the install script from the 'phobos' folder created after cloning with 'git clone'

[Amudtogal]

Same error as before? Could you try using ./install_phobos.py instead of python3 (the file should already be executable)?

[leocorp96]

Tried that too (even tried with elevated privileges -> 'sudo' ). I think the error maybe originating from the 'copytree' function in the install_phobos.py.

[Amudtogal]

I cant reproduce this error. I completely removed Blender and all configs of it from the hard drive and downloaded it anew. And still, everything works fine (actually quite sad to be unhappy with not having an error at all). What is your output of git log? Could you again post the whole stacktrace?

this is my git log commit 3da00dcf0bf38080b813767eb4f8caae9076bf03 Author: Simon Reichel simon.reichel@dfki.de Date: Wed Nov 15 15:34:14 2017 +0100

Hotfix misplaced Phobos definitions

The activation of Phobos was failing because the definitions were placed
in the wrong path. Also, the bl_info of the addon caused trouble due to
a faulty string.

Move the definitions folder to the appropriate place and fix the
remaining installation issues.

Hotfix Python installation

The new installation led to some issues with yaml installations.
Fix the copying of the yaml configuration and unify the configuration
file endings.

Again I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 x64, Python 3.5, Blender 2.76

[Amudtogal]

I have no idea, where this FileNotFoundError comes from. It has to be a problem with your filesystem settings, as I don't experience this bug. What happens if you copy the 'phobos' folder (which resides at the same level as the installscript) to the addons folder and run the script again?

[leocorp96]

Tried that too, not working (same console output). Anyways thanks for your time. I think I'm gonna give up on trying to get phobos to run on my linux and install it on my mac rather.

[Amudtogal]

Yea, that's probably the best solution then. Anyway, all you need to do is copy the 'phobos' folder into your addon directory, and create a file 'yamlpath.conf' which contains the absolute path to the folder where your yaml installation is saved in. In Linux this is /usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/yaml. That way, Phobos should be able to start.

I will close this issue now. Good luck and happy blending!

[leocorp96]

Thanks man. The fix worked. Copied the phobos folder and created the 'yamlpath.conf'. Off to 'Phobos Documentation'!!

how can ı solve this error can you help me ?
