Unable to view schematic or layout diff #112

Closed rishabhrkaushik closed 3 months ago

rishabhrkaushik commented 3 months ago

I've a similar issue as #111. I'm unable to view schematic or board diff. I'm using Win 11 and running Kiri through WSL2 Ubuntu 22.04.3. I tried the solution recommended in #111 of using -r -D -t 2 -k flag without any success.

My hypothesis is it has something to do with version of the Kicad as it shows 6.0.2 but my project version is 7 and lately updated to 8 (i was having same issue before upgrading as well)

Below is a part of the log statements which some information about the troubles.

Not sure if it's the right solution but for me manually installing kicad 7 fixed this issue. It probably breaks something else but I don't know yet.

Yeah, Kicad 6 is kinda buggy. Is it possible to share the repo of your design so I can check if I can run Kiri on it?

rishabhrkaushik commented 3 months ago

I don't have the repo hosted yet. I'll send you the link once I have it pushed.

Also, to be clear, my project is in Kicad 7 and later Kicad 8. I don't know why the software is using Kicad 6.

leoheck commented 3 months ago

I don't know why the software is using Kicad 6.

Which software are you talking about? Kiri doesn't use Kicad. Only if there is kicad-cli installed.

leoheck commented 3 months ago

I still have to find time to verify what is going on. It would help if you could host a Kicad project for me to work on. Making a simple example to reproduce your issue is not that hard.

I pushed a fix to kicadiff so it will not fail when plotting Kicad 8 layouts. If this is the problem, it is fixed. Please, feel free to open this issue if the problem persists.
