Attempting to run bom.py I get an error. Not sure how to proceed.

Looks like it's having trouble finding the openscad binary. Try adding it to your path and see if that helps. On Apr 30, 2014 5:35 PM, "Kharms" notifications@github.com wrote:

Doesn't seem to be working. I've added to both system $path and sys.path in the python script. Anything else I should try?

brad commented 10 years ago

First, can you confirm that it is in your path by running it from the same terminal session? If you can type openscad into a terminal, press enter and have it open successfully, then the python should be able to find it too. If things still aren't working, maybe you could try editing /Users/Owl/Printing/Mendel90/openscad.py and changing line 9 to:

subprocess.call(["/full/path/to/openscad"] + list(args), stdout = log, stderr = log)

i.e. Substituting the call to openscad with the full path to openscad.

The error is clear, the program cannot find openscad. I got the exact same error when I tried running it without openscad installed.

This error occurs when the OpenSCAD binary is not in your PATH environment. You can fix this by editing your ~/.bash_profile The install location will vary with your installation method. When installed from the DMG, you can add the following line to the bash_profile, and restart your terminal to solve this error.

export PATH=$PATH:/Applications/OpenSCAD.app/Contents/MacOS

However, I ran in to this same problem at first too. When applying the above fix, I am presented with a new error:

Every BOM I generate is empty. It simply has headers for Vitamins and Printed, but no entries beneath.

This is mentioned in the first paragraph under "Use" in the README so I think this can be closed IMHO @nophead
