Crash when installing cloned version with Blender 3.1

[rmcdermo]

Hi Ema, I was just updating my BlenderFDS after the new release. I installed the latest Blender (3.1.2), created the scripts/addons directory and cloned your repo there. When I went to Edit >> Preferences >> Addons and searched for "blenderfds" the import module came up and when I checked the box, I got this error (second window below). I'm on macOS 12.4 Monterey. Any ideas?

[emanuelegissi]

Yes, sure. As for the requirements, thou shall install Blender 3.2.0 beta. Not 3.1.x. that was too buggy. I skipped it ;-)

And if your BlenderFDS addon install folder is not called "blenderfds" you should rename it "blenderfds".

This was a bug of the previous version.

Even better, delete your user configuration directory and reinstall the addon from scratch.

Your user folder to be deleted should be something like this: /Users/$USER/Library/Application Support/Blender/3.1/

Ema, I get the same with 3.2. I have deleted 3.1

I am cloning the add on per the instructions in the install wiki. If these instructions are not up-to-date, please let me know.

[rmcdermo]

Here is my addons directory

[emanuelegissi]

It seems to me that there is a leftover from your previous user configuration.

May you please delete completely the blender user directory: /Users/$USER/Library/Application Support/Blender

Another thing that you may check is that inside the blender directory there's directly the code and not another blender directory. This sometimes happens to me when I git clone

I'm sorry, but I've deleted everything and reinstalled from scratch. I get the same error. I have installed the Intel beta version of Blender 3.2.0 from here.

[rmcdermo]

I'll check with Marcos. I think we need another macOS test. He's probably fishing :)

[rmcdermo]

Ema, An update. @marcosvanella got something to work on Catalina, but he first put Blender.app into his User local and put blenderfds into the Blender.app. I did this as well, and it worked. But there is a catch. On Monterey, you first have to open Blender.app so it can do the checksum and verify the program. Then you can start adding stuff to Blender.app/Contents/Resources/3.2/scripts/addons.

I don't think this is the proper way. Most users will simply copy Blender.app to their Applications directory. So, it should work to put blenderfds into Application Support. I will check with Marcos if he can do this method.

[marcosvanella]

In Catalina I installed Blender 3.2 in /Applications. Then I made this directory: /Users/MYUSER/Library/Application Support/Blender/3.2/scripts/addons Then

git clone git@github.com:firetools/blenderfds.git

Then went to /Users/MYUSER/Library/Application Support/Blender/3.2/config

rm *

opened Blender in applications, Preferences => click Import Export BlenderFDS => the in there load Default BlenderFDS settings. It worked. See if doing this helps, if not might be something related to Monterrey.

[emanuelegissi]

Perfect! Thank you so much Marcos.

Do you think I should update this page? https://github.com/firetools/blenderfds/wiki/Install#install-a-development-version

Ciao Ema, I think we can update the versions in there to 3.2 given that it is the actual development version. Let's see first if Randy can get it to work. I also have a laptop at home with Big Sur (a version less than Monterrey). I can try there.

[emanuelegissi]

Okay, right

Well, sorry. After all the trouble, the issue seems to have been simply that I had the Blender app open when I cloned the blenderfds repo. If I close the app and reopen it, then the addon functions properly. I updated the wiki notes. As always, I am a good test monkey to make things idiot proof.

[emanuelegissi]

No problem is a silly problem ;-)

Ah, better!

In fact the addon should be installed in the user directory that should not be checksummed, I suppose. The same that gets used by Blender when installing a stable from the zip file.

Maybe, if you got spare time, you could try to discover for me where Blender installs the userspace add-ons. According to the documentation it should be something like:

/Users/$USER/Library/Application Support/Blender/3.2/

Thank you

Okay, I am sorry. In fact the MacOS version is tested only on a Catalina virtual machine :-( not very realistic indeed
