Deploy fails to compile resources

[peetw]

After creating a new plugin on Windows, pb_tool deploy fails to compile the resources.qrc file and thus fails to deploy the plugin. This can be fixed by running pb_tool compile (which does succeed) first.

Steps to reproduce

Open a PyQGIS-enabled command prompt and run the following commands:

pb_tool create --modulename test_plugin --classname TestPlugin --menutext "Test plugin..."
pb_tool deploy -y

This will output the following:

Deploying to C:/Users/Peet/AppData/Roaming\QGIS/QGIS3/profiles/default/python/plugins\test_plugin
Removing plugin from C:/Users/Peet/AppData/Roaming\QGIS/QGIS3/profiles/default/python/plugins\test_plugin
Plugin was not deleted: The system cannot find the path specified
Deploying to C:/Users/Peet/AppData/Roaming\QGIS/QGIS3/profiles/default/python/plugins\test_plugin
Compiling to make sure install is clean
Compiled 0 UI files
Compiling resources.qrc to resources.py
Fatal Python error: initfsencoding: unable to load the file system codec
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'encodings'

System

• Windows 10 x64
• QGIS 3.10.11 (from OSGeo4W x64)
• pb_tool 3.1.0, 2019-11-23

I think the problem is related to the path space of QGIS xx. See this link .

The problem is that when you change it directly to double quotes, the Python statement in pb_tool treats it as single quotes.

Command '['C:\\PROGRA~1\\QGIS 3.10\\apps\\Python37\\Scripts\\pyrcc5.BAT', '-o', 'resources.py', 'resources.qrc']'

C:\Program Files\QGIS 3.10\apps\Python37\Scripts\pyrcc5.bat

@C:\\PROGRA~1\\QGIS 3.10\apps\Python37\python.exe -m PyQt5.pyrcc_main %*
@"C:\\PROGRA~1\\QGIS 3.10\apps\Python37\python.exe" -m PyQt5.pyrcc_main %*

On the other hand, it is giving me an error building the documentation:

Building the help documentation

@dortegat I'm not sure that is the issue here - I installed QGIS using OSGeo4W, which by default installs to C:\OSGeo4W64 and has no spaces in the path (see Command '['C:\\OSGEO4~1\\apps\\Python37\\Scripts\\pyrcc5.BAT', '-o', 'resources.py', 'resources.qrc']'). Furthermore, running pb_tool compile works correctly, it's just pb_tool deploy that fails to compile.

@peetw In my case I installed QGIS version 3.10 standalone.

Compiling the resource file without pb_tool, the following code works correctly editing the file adding the double quotes (C:\Program Files\QGIS 3.10\apps\Python37\Scripts\pyrcc5.bat):

SET OSGEO4W_ROOT = C: \ Program Files \ QGIS 3.10
call "% OSGEO4W_ROOT%" \ bin \ o4w_env.bat
call qt5_env.bat
call py3_env.bat
pyrcc5 -o resources.py resources.qrc

If they are not added, it gives the following error:

"C:\\PROGRA~1\\QGIS" no se reconoce como un comando interno o externo,
programa o archivo por lotes ejecutable.

@dortegat Indeed, but that looks to be a separate issue to the one that I originally raised.

Also I have the following error building the documentation with Sphinx
