no module named fcad_pcb #50

Closed robotfishe closed 2 years ago

This might be a really simple problem, but I've been unable to fix it on two Windows PCs and one Ubuntu one. I follow the instructions to clone the repositories and check out the submodules into my macros directory, so I have an fcad_pcb directory inside my macro directory with kicad.py, kicad_parser, etc inside that.

When I try entering "from fcad_pcb import kicad" in the python console in FreeCAD, I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in File "C:\Program Files\FreeCAD\bin\Lib\site-packages\shiboken2\files.dir\shibokensupport__feature__.py", line 142, in _import return original_import(name, *args, **kwargs) ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'fcad_pcb'

Any ideas?

Maybe you didn't get the correct Macro directory?

Nope, it's definitely not that:

fcad1 fcad2 fcad3

Ah, I see it. You miss spell the module name. Should be fcad_pcb. fcad is short for FreeCAD.

robotfishe commented 2 years ago

Oops, made a typo that time, but I get the same error when it's spelled correctly.

fcad3

That's strange. Have you ever tried other macros? Do they work? Can you find your macro directory in sys.path?

import sys
sys.path

Running sys.path was helpful in a weird way! The macros directory under AppData was there, but I also noticed that there was another Macros path listed, C:\Program Files\FreeCAD\Macros. I copied fcad_pcb into there, restarted FreeCAD, and suddenly I'm able to import.

Still no idea why it was failing to pick up from the correct place, though.

Maybe some permission issue.
