sofapython3 plugins problems

[Gabriele111]

Hello everyone,

i'm new to SOFA. I built succesfully SOFA from source on windows 11. Using cmake-gui, i selected plugin_sofapython3 to be added. the configuration and compilation went good, without any errors, but when i check the plugins list sofapython3 is not there and, after running runSofa, i cannot open a python scene in sofa.

Does someone have any ideas why this happens?

thank you very much!

[Gabriele111]

ps. python version i used is the 3.9.18 since then i need to use sofa_env for RL which requires python >= 3.9

[Gabriele111]

Hi @hugtalbot,

do you have any suggestion about this topic?

thank you!

[fredroy]

Indeed, when compiled, SofaPython3 is not included in the automatically-loaded list of plugins. But you can load the plugin at run-time using command-line arguments: runSofa -l SofaPython3 <yousceneinpython.py>

Hi @fredroy, thank you for your reply. I tried as you suggested but i got this error:

' [ERROR] [DAGSimulation(Simulation)] Cannot load file 'C:\Users\gfurn\Downloads\liver.py': extension (py) is only supported if the plugin SofaPython3 is loaded. SofaPython3 must be loaded first before being able to load the file. '

[fredroy]

This is weird, this should not happen if the plugin was loaded (i.e thanks to "-l SofaPython3"on the command line) Can you post the entire log when you execute runSofa ?

It looks like it never tried to load SofaPython3 (even with the flag I told you) which is really weird.

Last thing you can try is edit the file C:\Users\gfurn\anaconda3\envs\sofa_source\sofa\build\bin\Release/plugin_list.conf.default and add SofaPython3 inside

[Gabriele111]

Hi @fredroy, i tried as you said but i didn't work either. I actually solved it running 'runSofa.exe -l SofaPython3' from anaconda promt (instead of windows cmd promt) and it loads SofaPython3 correctly.

[Gabriele111]

Now i have an other little problem: when i open a python file it is not possible to import Sofa.Helper, Sofa.Core, Sofa.Types and others.

[saketh2002]

Hi, tried to run a .py file using above commands, but getting error saying the Sofapython3.dll file cannot be loaded as the specified module cannot be found
