AttributeError when trying to save an animation

[rachcargill]

I have been using napari-animation in the napari GUI with no problems however, I have recently encountered the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\racha\miniconda3\envs\confocal\lib\site-packages\napari_animation_qt\animation_widget.py", line 161, in _save_callback if animation_kwargs.get("filename", None) is not None: AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'get'

I have not changed anything about my code or the way I am using the plugin to create animations. I select keyframes and then set the steps I require. I used to be able to save the animation using the 'Save Animation' button in the GUI with ease, but now I receive the above error when I press the button.

Would you have any guesses as to why I am receiving this error? Thanks in advance.

Hi @rachcargill ! Sorry you ran into an issue, could you give me the output of 'pip list' so I can debug?

Can you also confirm that this is happening in a fresh environment?

Hi @alisterburt here is the output of pip list:

I am pretty new to Python, so I am fully expecting there is something I am missing or overlooking with this. Yes, I am using a fresh environment, I created a new environment to see if the problem still occurs and it does.

For reference, the animation works when I set the coordinates and capture frames using script. However, I would also like the option to use the GUI to capture keyframes.

I can reproduce this error, sort of. If I click Save animation and enter a file name and save, everything is fine. But I hit cancel or exit the dialog, it gives the error.

@rachcargill are you getting the error even if you enter a file name into the dialog and click Save?
