Problems from within virtualenv

[iwootten]

When executing:

python -m pyblish_standalone --debug --register-gui pyblish_lite

Within a virtual environment, the PySide interface briefly appears before disappearing, with the following message:

Starting new QApplication..
Installed opensans\OpenSans-Regular.ttf
Installed opensans\OpenSans-Semibold.ttf
Installed fontawesome\fontawesome-webfont.ttf
About to reset..
usage: __main__.py [global_opts] cmd1 [cmd1_opts] [cmd2 [cmd2_opts] ...]
   or: __main__.py --help [cmd1 cmd2 ...]
   or: __main__.py --help-commands
   or: __main__.py cmd --help

 error: option --register-gui not recognized

When executing (from a separate venv):

python -m pyblish_standalone --debug --register-gui pyblish_qml

I get:

Found gui: <module 'pyblish_qml' from 'c:\Users\ian.wootten\Envs\pyblish-tester\lib\site-packages\pyblish_qml\__init__.pyc'>
QWidget: Must construct a QApplication before a QWidget

[iwootten]

It looks to me the reason this is failing is down to the gui library interpreting the arguments supplied to standalone.

For reference, here's my requirements.txt:

appdirs==1.4.3

Thanks @iwootten, you can launch Pyblish Lite and QML without pyblish-standalone, like this.

$ python -m pyblish_lite --debug
$ python -m pyblish_qml --demo

@tokejepsen is still project still needed?

[iwootten]

Ah right, ok - is this stale then? I was under the misapprehension this would be necessary to get started creating some unit/integration tests for our pyblish plugins.

[mottosso]

No need for GUIs when testing plug-ins, see the pyblish.util module along with our recent conversation on Gitter.

Hey, this project is being used on the upcoming after effects integration: https://github.com/pyblish/pyblish-aftereffects/pull/1

You could quite possibly not use this project for after effects.
