Can't install GPX plugin

[biggerdummy]

When trying to install GPX plugin I get the following error: Error!Could not install plugin from https://markwal.github.io/octoprint-download/OctoPrint-GPX.tar.gz, was neither a plugin archive nor a single file plugin

I've tried older versions of the plugin, older versions of octoprint and three different pi boards and the results are the same whether I try to install from the url or the plugin manager.

I am experiencing the same problem

Yea I had the same issue. For now you can still ssh into your octopi and run sudo ~/oprint/bin/pip install "https://markwal.github.io/octoprint-download/OctoPrint-GPX.tar.gz"

Thank you, I will try that tomorrow

Did not realize this, but the plugin still is not working for me. When I upload gcode it does not get converted to .g3x.

I did successfully use sudo to install but the plugin still won't connect. Plus, it's 2.5.6 so it constantly tells me there is an update that i need to install... which still fails to install when i run it. for now I've ignored it while i try to get this thing to connect.

It's a bug in OctoPrint.

Workaround for OctoPrint Download the archive to your machine by going to: https://markwal.github.io/octoprint-download/OctoPrint-GPX.tar.gz Rename the file extension to .tgz (eg. OctoPrint-GPX.tgz) Head to the plugin manager > get more > ...from archive then upload the renamed file

Running the following command from @ronaldmanganaro worked great, thank you! I noticed this issue after upgrading my octoprint to Python 3

sudo ~/oprint/bin/pip install "https://markwal.github.io/octoprint-download/OctoPrint-GPX.tar.gz"

As posted already in this thread, is a bug in OctoPrint's detection of tar.gz as an archive folder. Works when it is renamed as .tgz Reported to OctoPrint as https://github.com/OctoPrint/OctoPrint/issues/3698, solved in the next release.

From https://github.com/markwal/OctoPrint-GPX/issues/85#issuecomment-682200814

Workaround for OctoPrint 1.4.2

Download the archive to your machine by going to: https://markwal.github.io/octoprint-download/OctoPrint-GPX.tar.gz Rename the file extension to .tgz (eg. OctoPrint-GPX.tgz) Head to the plugin manager > get more > ...from archive then upload the renamed file

Bug explanation (if anyone is interested)

tar.gz was not recognized properly, as it was thought as .gz which was not in the list of supported archives.

[markwal]

I've renamed the archive to work around this issue. Also, it appears to be fixed in the RC of the next version of OctoPrint
