Error activating addon on blender 2.79 64bit in windows 10 #81

Open ceciox opened 6 years ago

ceciox commented 6 years ago

Installed following instructions (unzipping package and zipping subdir coa_tools and installing with file method). I can't enable addon:

coa_tools updater verbose is enabled Exception in module register(): 'C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.79\scripts\addons\coa_tools\init.py' Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.79\scripts\modules\addon_utils.py", line 350, in enable mod.register() File "C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.79\scripts\addons\coa_tools__init__.py", line 136, in register addon_updater_ops.register(bl_info) File "C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.79\scripts\addons\coa_tools\addon_updater_ops.py", line 1099, in register showReloadPopup() File "C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.79\scripts\addons\coa_tools\addon_updater_ops.py", line 677, in showReloadPopup saved_state = updater.json File "C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.79\scripts\addons\coa_tools\addon_updater.py", line 275, in json self.set_updater_json() File "C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.79\scripts\addons\coa_tools\addon_updater.py", line 1237, in set_updater_json os.makedirs(self._updater_path) File "C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.79\python\lib\os.py", line 241, in makedirs mkdir(name, mode) PermissionError: [WinError 5] Accesso negato: 'C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.79\scripts\addons\coa_tools\coa_tools_updater'

Hi ceciox, this seems to be a permission problem with the new updater module. Try running blender as administrator and then enabling the addon. Afterwards it should work ok, even not as admin. I will preinclude the coa_tools_updater folder for future releases.

It seems to be a known issue with the updater module: johnroper100/CrowdMaster#57

ok. I added this folder. If you get latest master version, everything should work fine. At least I hope so :)

It's a permission issue with being able to create folders. Yeah I find this issue strange, not sure why some (and only some... even without admin..) windows users have blender instances which don't have the permission to add folders to the python/addons folder, I suppose it depends on where it is installed.

I think I'll make this note more obvious in the documentation.

Thank you, I'm in trouble so I can't try the plugin. I'll try it as soon as possible.
