unexpected keyword argument 'ensure_exists'

[sec0ps]

Hi - had this working previously. Installed on a new laptop running same distro and having the following issues. Any help with this would be appreciated.

$ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS Release: 22.04 Codename: jammy

$ ./QtTinySA.py Warning: Ignoring XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland on Gnome. Use QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland to run on Wayland anyway. Traceback (most recent call last): File "/vapt/wireless/QtTinySA/./QtTinySA.py", line 1142, in config = database() File "/vapt/wireless/QtTinySA/./QtTinySA.py", line 731, in init self.personalDir = platformdirs.user_config_dir(appname=app.applicationName(), ensure_exists=True) TypeError: user_config_dir() got an unexpected keyword argument 'ensure_exists'

It happens if 'platformdirs' is an old version. Try updating it.

Let me know if that doesn't work

[sec0ps]

$ pip install platformdirs

Requirement already satisfied: platformdirs in ./.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages (3.0.0)

What version should it be, this was installed based on the requirements from github

Thanks,

Keith

The version of platformdirs that I have is 3.10.0. The other thing you can do is find line 731 in the python file

"self.personalDir = platformdirs.user_config_dir(appname=app.applicationName(), ensure_exists=True)"

then delete ", ensure_exists=True". Then go into your user .config directory and create a folder called "QtTinySA". For example mine is:

home/ian/.config/QtTinySA

Then the programme ought to work without needing to update platformdirs.

It's annoying that the version of platformdirs in the repositories is so old, because I only added this platformdirs code to satisfy the ubuntu ham radio repository owner's requirement to have a user config folder. I am going to modify QtTinySA in the next release to create the folder in .config using a different method.

That fixed it…thank you

Thanks,

version 0.10.5 in the development branch now works with versions of 'platformdirs' as old as 2.5.1 (and has new feature to view screenshots and download files from the tinySA). I will update the main branch to this version in the next few days.
